I don't believe the media.
I believe the Royal Society, the plank institute, NASA and every major science body that confirms this.

If you think you can get a better understanding of atmospheric physics than some of the worlds best scientists with satellite data and the best computer facilities in the world by going outside with a thermometer then you're barking!
But before you ignore me and go away - if you really don't think the earth is getting warmer and that all the proxy measurements are wrong, that the satellite data showing it is wrong and all the land based measurements are wrong you have one more question to answer.
