SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER

(Evidence for FSM) Over the last century, the average global temperature has been able to be measured fairly accurately. Before this, temperature could not be measured very well, and good data are not available. The general scientific consensus is that over the last century, the average global temperature has raised linearly a total of 0.6 +/- 0.2 degrees Kelvin [1] to finally reach the current average temperature of 287.67K [2]. Using this data, the very common scientific method of extrapolation can be used to find an approximation to the average global temperature as a function of the year. If the…
