Indeed. That's been the traditional wisdom, which I was also on board with for a long time.
What I'm concerned about is 'weather weirding'. On average, everything gets warmer, but because there's a lot more overall energy, the highs get higher, and the lows get lower, along with more extreme rain/flooding, along with more extreme drought. And, of course, a lot more intense storms.
I hope I am wrong, and it seems like the analysis of this line of thought is just starting to ramp up.
Anecdotally, it's why, for example, we got something like 10 or 12 '100 year' and '500 year' weather events in the US in 2016.
