Actually global tempeture is now measured by sattelites... and has been coincidentally for the last 10 years or so. Well more like 15.  Since the early 90's.

Tempeture stations were a giant problem though.  For example they had next to zero stations on 2/3rds of our planet.  AKA Water.

 

As for why people think this... go to the link and read to the emails where they talk about very unscientific ways of doing things to prove stuff they couldn't prove and that the data seemed to show otherwise.

Sounds plausible, but I've just read an article yesterday (it's in German, so I doubt, a link would help you), where they complain about this very fact. Would be interesting to know why scientists still keep the stations though...
