With an increase in
global average surface temperatures comes higher odds of heat waves.
Not exact matches
The evidence
comes from direct measurements of rising
surface air
temperatures and subsurface ocean
temperatures and, indirectly, from increases in
average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes in many physical and biological systems.
Now the NOAA data
comes in and confirms the GISS data, and shows the http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/2009/jun/

Global Highlights: Based on preliminary data, the globally
averaged combined land and sea
surface temperature was the second warmest on record for June and the January - June year - to - date tied with 2004 as the fifth warmest on record.
However, changes to climate that
come with AGW or would tend to
come with GW in general are more than a
global average surface temperature increase, and ACC could be seen as a more all - encompassing term.
