Of course. That's because 90% of the climate discussion is politics, it means that anything that happens one way or the other is caused by climate change - and when nothing happens, it the fault of climate change, because obviously something would need to happen in that case. It's like fat that's always causing heart disease - no matter if you eat it or not (in reality the problem is high carbohydrate diet and insulin resistance that's caused by it). |
Um....not trying to rain on your parade here (especially since there is some truth to what you're saying, especially about fat and carberhydrates...blame the sugar industry for that one) but the reason global warming would also have cooling effects in some parts of the world is because the melting ice caps have the potential to cool down the golf stream, wich is what is keeping large parts of europe and central america nicely tempered.
While most of africa would still become a single large burning desert, europe would be entering a temporary ice age without it. Until globally temperature has risen enough to negate the effects of the missing golf stream, that is.
