A better term is climate change. Not all of the changes we will see will be warmer. One of the main effects we expect to see with climate change is more extreme weather events. So snow in Paris could well be a result of climate change.

I stand corrected and am studying my science. Mea culpa. Perhaps the frigid temperatures have numbed my brain.

Only the ignorant or scientifically illiterate would confuse weather with climate.

How can global warming result in reduced temperatures? Its like saying that you can take a pot of warm water, put it on the stove and expect it to freeze. . .

Global warming is a cyclical event and we are now heading into a cold cold period.
