The concept of "global average temperature" is most likely an impossibility and so probably a very poor measure for the true state of the climate.

Researchers Question Validity Of A 'Global Temperature'

Quote:
"It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth", Bjarne Andresen says, an an expert of thermodynamics. "A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate".

Besides that, what do you suppose the "correct" temperature of the Earth is supposed to be?
