    This would only be a relevant criticism if our temperatures had a swing like 1-$1,000,000 does.

    The reality is obviously very different than you suspected.

      No, the point remains the same. The point is averages by design remove peaks and lows by averaging them out. A system as complex as our atmosphere needs to be considered more granularly than just as by averages. Peaks and lows cause massive disasters, like in Europe right now.
