I'm not sure that the average earth temperature is all that important here. The alarmism I hear usually relates to the biosphere either radically altering or collapsing outright due to sea level rise if the ice caps melt - which would take about 8 degrees Fahrenheit over a relatively small area of the planet.

My beef is with the alarmism based on observations of the last 100 or so years. We are talking about a climate system that has gone through at least four glacial periods in the last half million years. You would think that science would be very careful about making assertions based on such limited evidence, but that's not what's happening.
