No, I agree with them - global temperature has increased over the past 100 years by about 0.6 degC (I've said this before). What I question is things like why was the rate of increase 1910 - 1940 (before heavy fossil fuel usage) was the same as 1970 - 2000, if CO2 is the driver.
Actually, I follow sea level change at many locations around the world. Some are rising, and others are falling (I've given the link earlier). - eg Stockholm Sweden
As for average temperature, I suggest you ask Hadley Centre, NASA (GISS), RSS, UHE etc. They are the ones processing and supplying the data. (GISS won't tell you) The method of determining the "average" temperature is a major discussion. eg should it be geometric or arithmetic etc.
