Answer: YES
Explanation: the Earth is at the right distance, it is believed that the distance between the Earth and the sun is about 150million kilometers. If at 150million kilometers,we are having the level of Temperature that we have where certain regions are going up to 40degrees Celsiusand other places are as low as -10degrees Celsius. Going closer with up to 10miles means the Temperature will further go up to about 70-100degrees depending on where you are at a given time, and moving far 10miles away means the ten will reduce further will cause people to freeze. The Earth is a sphere and the distance from the sun is not regular.
In the year 2020 I would predict the anomalous rise in temperatures since 1980 to increase by about 1.2 degrees centigrade by projecting the graph. Some of the changes to the climate with such an average rise is more drought and forest fires and also flooding in the spring in the northern hemisphere with warmer spring weather, for example. I believe this rise which is a significant acceleration in the global temperature increase is mostly man made and is mainly a result of burning too much fossil fuels with the attendant greenhouse effect.
The answer is no this is because they use various tools to track the weather
