Global warming is not just confined to N. America (which is now in deep freeze...) Central and Eastern China are buried under unprecedented amounts of heavy snow.

I have always said that speeding up the global temperature increase is just going to cause the next ice age to come sooner... maybe we are seeing this take place?
