HadCRUT3: annual mean temperatures and seasons

The annual mean temperatures range from -55 °C somewhere in the Antarctica to +31 °C somewhere near the equator - sorry, I haven't looked at the precise location. The width of this interval is 86 °C. That's quite an interval. Compare it with the statements that a change by 1 °C is supposed to be almost deadly for most regions in the world. It's just silly. A uniform warming of the Earth by 80 °C would evaporate the oceans at various places :-) but it would still yield very pleasant temperature in the Antarctica.
