People obsess over 'global average temperature' like it's some sacred number. Right now, in Texas, one spot is sitting at 3°F while another is baking at 83°F... an 80-degree difference on the exact same day. A single global average hides massive regional extremes and tells you almost nothing about what people are actually experiencing where they live. Averaging the whole planet is like averaging your freezer and your oven and claiming the kitchen is 'perfect room temperature.' The number is mathematically real. The meaning people assign to it is mostly nonsense.
