Impossible to tell. The kooks that believe this global warming stuff make you believe that it is a massive problem. But the technology was not around 100 years ago to accurately record "Earth mean temperature".
Even if it were a degree or so, 100 years is the tiniest fraction of the planets age. This is like flipping a coin one time and having it land on heads, then telling everyone that "At this pace, the next 1000 flips will be heads". It is utter stupidity.
Remember, back in the 70's all of the scientists said that we would be in a new ice age in 30 years? Well where is all the ice? Furthermore, now they are saying the exact opposite? This is lunacy at its finest. Do not believe everything you hear, especially in the mainstream media.
