As to how: distribute a lot of temperature<wbr>
sensors over the Earth (including but not limited to IR cameras on a bunch of satellites,<wbr>whose orbits allow them to collectively see the entire surface of the Earth), and monitor<wbr>them for a year. Really, a trivial exercise in experiment design.<wbr>

He says that is "the claim" - it's not. The claim is over a much shorter timespan than<wbr>
that.<wbr></div></div>
