There are areas of the world that are experiencing heavy rain, while other areas are having severe droughts at the same time. . Increased intensity of hurricaines and tornados in areas that don't usually have them. Volcanic eruptions around the world and earthquakes in areas that are not prone to them. Seems we are being subjected the weather extremes and increased geological activitiy as well.

That's what global warming is. Or that is what it's effects on the earth are. Not just "warming". That's the term for what's happening to the atmosphere. But the effects are all different kinds of extremes, as you have described.

Global warming is a generalization. It doesn't necessarily mean that every climate is going to get warmer. The concept of Global Warming is that the atmosphere is more turbulent and dynamic as a whole. The resulting weather patterns tend to be more severe and less in-line with historical patterns.

I live in Michigan, and for as long as I can remember, It's snowed from November until up to March. Sometimes even April.
We had 50 degree weather since November and It rained on Christmas.
It just finally got cold and snowed for the first time where I live.
Now, there's ice storms in Texas. Does that normally happen?

Yes, I agree. Here in Indiana we usually have lots of snow by this time and we have only had less than an inch. It was in the 50's until this week! Places like Texas are having blizzards! It is definitely a sign of the end of times. It talks about it in the bible.

Isn't that all part and parcel?
