i guess you dont understand global warming. it warms the earth as a whole. this brings about the law of unintended consequences. it can actually affect places in a completely unobvious way.

take my home in the bay area. last march we had 27 days of rain in march. 27! that irregularity is caused by something, most likely global warming. this year we havent gotten as much rain as we got in march of last year.

another one is england. if the world heats up the icecaps melt. this will have a surge of cold water from the poles. the surge would hit the warm current that moves from the equator to england. this disruption would COOL england.

global warming isnt about temperature, its about how the world functions.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. AKA, we don't know exactly what would happen, but on average, nothing too extreme will happen. Take your home in the bay area. Last march it got alot of rain. Take my city (Austin, TX). Last march, it was going through a drought, that lasted until january of this year. Now we are having above-average rainfall.

Is this because of global warming? Probably not. There have been droughts and floods for millions of years. Remember, the entire "warming" argument is only over ~2 degrees of change in the past 50 years or so, on average. I mean really, that isn't much, guys.

" if the world heats up the icecaps melt. "

You do know that every year, the North pole loses about half of its ice, right? And in the winter, it freezes back in. I would think England would have already felt this "cold surge" or whatever.
