Global warming has been fantastic so far where I live (UK). The winters (always miserable when I was growing up) are milder and more tolerable, and I'm enjoying the increased outdoor opportunities made available by the longer, hotter, drier summers.
I'd love it if things could stop exactly where they currently are. Unfortunately, they won't.

Milder, wetter winters and drier, heatwave-prone summers and more unpredictable weather in general is hitting farmers badly. One recent example is potatoes [1]. "Hose-pipe bans" becoming a normal phrase in our lifetime is not a good sign of things to come.
