Assumptions have to be examined and validated, or at least identified, because they may be right, but they may be wrong.

This makes me think they are talking about "Global Temperatures".
Right before "global average temperatures", there's "similar to", which means that they're talking about is similar to the thing they're comparing what they're talking about with, which necessarily implies that they aren't the same thing.
