Where is Al Gore with his global warming when you need him. LOL
Actually it was that Global warming would cause CLIMATE CHANGE because different parts of the world would be heated differently. Because of heating on the Artic, the melting ice would affect the Gulf Streams, which would affect the weather in Florida, which affects the moisture that is drawn up into the Midwest, which affects the snow fall in New York, ........ etc.
Yes, you are being affected Globally by changes in Warming patterns.
But since most people don't want to say all that was mentioned in the first paragraph, the paragraph got shortened down to "Global Warming". It should have been "Climate Change".
