I think they were using evidence a little more subtle than thermometers. I think your post was maybe a bit tongue in cheek but some of the research methods are quite ingenious.

And what will people do? Wait until governments do something. People will bitch about the environment and still buy SUV's and waste. We can’t wait until governments do something because they won’t. Look what happened with Kyoto. Canada voted in the Conservatives! Citizens have to stop polluting now. Take public transit or ride a bike and get some exercise. North Americans are already to fat anyway. I do my part. I sold my car and ride my bike to work everyday.
