“It’s raining, and the sky is dark; I love it. To me, those are reassuringly English things.” — Kate Winslet
(So are boring foods and bad teeth, Kate! Just kidding. Okay, the food isn’t all that bad. The weather you grow up with . . . is the weather you grow up with. The world is experiencing unprecedented heat waves this year. Even places where you don’t expect extreme heat, like Canada, United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Japan and the Korean peninsula, are losing people to heat stroke and other heat related issues. So, the next time there’s a cold spell – during the winter months, mind you – don’t go saying: Well, so much for Global Warming! Because you just sound . . . stupid! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

It’s not so much that the world is getting warmer, rather the Earth is retaining more “heat”, an alternate manifestation of energy. That energy drives the Earth’s weather.
The Earths retained heat will not cause the earth’s average statistical temperature to rise. Instead, the extra energy will drive more of the Earth’s weather.
In other words, whatever weather we have experienced thus far, there will be more of it with more intensity: In other words, the heat spells will be hotter, cold spells will be colder, the rainstorms and the snowstorms will be heavier, the tornados and hurricanes will be bigger, and so on.
Regardless of all that, the Earth’s average temperature will not change.
With this clarification, we will not blame the trite global warming. Kate is my favorite actress so she has her oral defects.
