Some places have experienced no warming at all

Myth:

Global warming cannot be real because some places, like Louisville Kentucky, have experienced no temperature increase at all.

Fact:

It’s true that some places, like Louisville, haven’t experienced a rise in temperature. Others, however, have had very large increases. The temperature in Sao Paulo, for example, has risen by about 2°C since the beginning of the 20^th century – almost double the global average. Cherry picking data from individual locations doesn’t give us the big picture. We have to look at the global average.
