What’s the normal global temperature?

Global warming was already looking more political than scientific, especially with the despicable UN for top corroborator and Al "Big Electric Bill" Gore for chief spokesman. But now comes a rather fundamental objection: what, if it’s indeed possible to say, is the normal global temperature? Where, in other words, does one begin to calculate a rise or a fall? Could it be there are too many variables to say?

Indeed, concludes Danish physicist Bjarne Andresen in the "Journal of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics": "It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth. A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate."
