Yes, but does that mean we're currently warmer than we're supposed to be? I'm afraid not, since much warmer periods have existed in the history of planet Earth. Much cooler periods aswell. The only question we should ask is if the climate is warming up faster than supposed, and to reference current data we don't have enough from previous times.
The globe was warmer in the past, but animal life as we known it would not exist had cooling not occurred.
