Each attempt to «
improve» your
estimate of the
global average
temperature for a given month, year, etc., will not converge to the correct value but just produce another random number within the random - number generator's effective range, no more and no less meaningful than the previous one.
In order to monitor
global climate change on a decade - to - decade basis in support
