Re: Global warming? I am more worried about global cooling.
Not having done any research, I can only repeat what I think I remember. All this information will be biased toward the East Coast of North America and Europe, as I live near the North Atlantic. Because of global warming, the glaciers are melting. Because the glaciers are melting, a lot of fresh water is being pumped into the ocean. This is disrupting the gulf stream, and has already made it noticably weaker (in the range of 80% of what it was just two or three decades ago). All the land along the North Atlantic is warmed by the gulf stream, especially Europe. Consider that Europe is far north of the USA, yet has a comparable climate, and more temperate. If the gulf stream weakened too much, Europe could cool down considerably, possibly rendering it far less habitable.
