And yes, global warming can include sudden cooling of certain areas as the jet stream and the ocean currents are changed by the tiny increases in global temperature. Northern europe will probably feel this effect first, becaus it is kept warmer than it would ordinarily be by the gulf stream.

In a worst case scenario, global warming could cause sudden mini ice ages, because of sudden changes in ocean currents.

It definitely will cause more extreme snows and rains, as the slightly warmer temperatures cause more water to evaporate from the oceans, and the slightly warmer air can carry billions of tons more water vapor.

The climate is a giant heat engine, and global warming makes it run faster and harder.

Global warming does not mean a pleasant gradual warming of the average temperatures, and the people who are trying to confuse things by pretending that's what it means are idiots.

But this is gfy, and I know you folks are either too ignorant or too politicized by the corporate media to even make the minimal effort to understand what a climate heat engine means.
