Here's a thought, even if the world temperature IS rising, thermometers have only existed since the 1500's, mercury since 1724, and the Fahrenheit scale itself has gone through something like a half dozen revisions. You are assuming that instruments from 100 years ago ACROSS THE FRIGGING PLANET are all calibrated and accurate, because YES since global warming is a game of single degrees, ACCURACY COUNTS!!!!!! If everyone's thermometer was 1 degree off (or more!), how the flying fuck do you know, well, anything about the last hundred years in temperature? You're assuming equal scales and a very high level of precision in tools that were still primitive by our own standard today.
This alone does not even take into account the further issue that different Fahrenheit scales would cause even more chaos in the results when converted to celsius and kelvin, making the different scales completely indistinguishable, and using a scale based on a much more accurate hypothesis of quantifiable heat.
If your data is shit, your results are even less useful

100000 year half life? You're assuming uranium. There are others, books are a good thing. Thorium is your friend
