Climate change is driven by increasing atmospheric opacity to infrared. The greenhouse effect: sunlight in, heating of the surface, infrared can't return to space. This doesn't just warm the world evenly, it disrupts the circulation of winds and currents globally. As a result, some areas now warm will get cold, and vice versa. Some wet areas will dry up, some dry areas will get wetter. That's the short term, climatologically speaking. Longer term effects are as you say.
