The global rate includes the water, which is 70% of the planet. Strangely the land is the bit that gets reported on most and is the bit that warms fastest.

Once the oceans get to 2 degrees warmer it’s game over because the land will be 5 degrees warmer

That’s because earth is mostly ocean and water heats slower than land
