thats because it is not being looked at world wide, some 3rd world countries don't give care, have no resources, or won't allow measurements to be taken. if temps are rising in the US and Australia (they have done more weather research than any one) then they are rising everywhere - the ice at both poles are shrinking. there has been some speculation that things are actually worse in some areas where industry is not monitored like it is in the US, EU, or Australia.
there are actually some studies coming out that show that hybrid cars (require more energy to manufacture), fluorescent bulbs (disposal issues due to mercury), and some other green options are actually worse than the gas-guzzlers and incandescents.
