I live in the pinky of Michigan. We're surrounded by lakes. this summer, we had a one week period of 90+ degree weather. Last summer, I don't think it cracked 91.
I think the sample size (in years) of measuring the Earth's temperature is too small. Especially on a geological timeline. I think about it as a baseball player with only 20 ABs. Oh, they hit 10/20 ABs? While impressive, they may mean they're just on a hot streak. Conversely, if they're 3/20, they could just be in a cold spell. When you get hundreds of ABs during a season, you can't judge a player on just 20.
