I thought we were past all the definitional bullshit behind the global warming vs climate change fiasco? The theory of human-caused climate change doesn't call for a steady year-by-year, much less season-by-season, increase in temperatures everywhere. It does, however, call for dramatic extremes - early crop-killing winters here, prolonged droughts there, and some truly monstrous hurricanes in the years to come.

Importantly, it also doesn't mean the entire globe will warm. Something as major as this could be to climates will likely throw some weird outcomes in certain places, including cooling (iirc, the Gulf Stream dissipation theory that was going to stop the flow of warm water up the Atlantic, resulting in a cooler Europe, has been disbanded, but that's the level of uncertainty involved here).
