Well, what exactly do mean by "Earth's temperature"? There are places in Siberia where the ground is frozen and never thaws. There are islands so warm all the time that the traditional costume is nakedness. In between, the temperatures might be any number. Scientists have argued for about forty years over whether there is or is not such a thing as "global warming".
Nobody knows the answer to your question, although there are some people who pretend to know. What we know for sure is that temperatures have been going up and down for a very long time.
IN THE view of some scientists, planet Earth is ill. It is running a fever. According to them, the global temperature may be approaching the so-called tipping point—that delicate threshold where a slight rise in temperature may “cause a dramatic change in the environment that itself triggers a far greater increase in global temperatures,” says the British newspaper The Guardian.
Many scientists believe that human activity is a major factor, beginning with the industrial revolution and the subsequent increase in the use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Another factor involves rampant deforestation.
Global warming seems to be much like a hurricane. Meteorologists can measure the force of a hurricane and chart its possible course with reasonable accuracy—much to the benefit of those in its path. But all the scientists, politicians, and business leaders in the world cannot stop a hurricane.
Bible at Jeremiah 10:23: “To earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.”
In effect humans are like someone who purchased a complicate computer, but neglected to read the instructions, and best guessed how to work it.
Answer to your question: Yes, earth's temperatures are rising, and the ones causing the problems are us, humans. However God will not allow the earth to be rendered uninhabitable. Rather, he will intervene in human affairs and bring an end to failed human rule and those who have no regard for the earth.
The Bible tells us that “the Former of the earth and the Maker of it . . . did not create it simply for nothing.” (Isaiah 45:18) The Bible also says: “The earth endures for ever.”—Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible.
Even if a person does not believe in God or the possibility of his intervention, we all agree a change is needed. The Question is, do we keep guessing or do we read the instructions, (The Bible) that is examine it for ourselves?
2 Timothy 3:16 says, "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness".

Really? "Nobody knows"?
Just because YOU don't know doesn't mean someone else doesn't.
