yes.

and even the current temperatures they cite are usually from models that interpolate etc based on opaque assumptions.

and when you stop to think of it what does "global temperature" itself even means? it's not the average for the earth as that includes the molten core! so it's for the surface plus some slice of the atmosphere? the radiation temperature? it all becomes less and less meaningful, and more and more open to manipulation the more you think of it. the only measure that makes any kind of sense is total ocean energy, and nobody cares about that!
