True. Global warming has nothing to do with the weather; it has to do with climate.
I guess I needed to make this more obvious. The following is sarcasm....CO2 is actually a greenhouse gas and causes the earth to warm.
The 40% increase in CO2 has finally caused the earth to cool. That's what's causing all the cold. Because we all know that CO2 causes cooling being that it's a refrigerator gas and all. If this keeps up the Arctic ice and glaciers will recover and the seas will recede.

"The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."

WASHINGTON D.C., United States, Monday September 8, 2014, CMC – The World Bank says due to rising sea levels and recurring storms, the beaches in most Caribbean nations have started to disappear.
In a new report, the Washington-based financial institution said, in some areas of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, for instance, an estimated 18-30 meters of beach have been lost over the last nine years.
“The highly vulnerable coastal strand and adjacent towns are fighting against increased flood risk from rainfall and storm surge,” said the bank, noting that the issue of challenges faced by small islands around the world was at the center of the just-concluded Third Small Island Developing States (SIDS) conference in Samoa.
The bank said the theme of the conference was sustainable development in view of these states’ unique and particular vulnerabilities.
The World Bank said beaches are not the only concern, stating that Caribbean ports are also at risk from rising sea levels.
“In island states, ports are the economic heart of the country, typically the capital and the island center of commerce,” said the bank, adding that airports are also affected.

All sponsored by nations who want more money from the World Bank.
Sadly when anyone goes to the Islands nobody can point to the actual beach that was "lost".
As I said, one of many such articles, easy to find.
Yes, it appears that every small island nation is "talking their book" and wants IMF / World Bank money.
