DNS is just a system whereby you can translate any name to any IP address. Global has nothing to do with it. In fact, by nature DNS is almost always local (you go to your chosen DNS server's IP to get the data). Your DNS server is free to lie to you about the real IP for www.google.com.
The thing that protects you here is TLS and PKI and our agreed-upon global trust system of registrars and certificate authorities that have been built up. DNS itself is just one (very abuse-able) cog in that wheel.
