You are confusing climate with weather. A change in average annual temperature over the globe of a few degrees says nothing about whether you can get a cold spell on the east coast, but can have enormous effects on a delicately balanced system.
The unusual relative stability of climate over the last 10,000 years has enabled the development of civilization. To appreciate this relative constancy, look at the three graphs here, especially the green Vostok in the third graph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holocene_Temperature_Variations.png

Global warming doesn't mean temperatures are always 'warm'. You are sadly uninformed.

u r uninformed! global warming melts da ice caps. da ocean is getting more freshened & less salty causing the ocean conveyor belt to change its normal pattern(well, dis part hasn't happened yet, but it might if we dont stop releasing CO2 into the atmosphere). wen da ocean conveyor belt finally shuts down, we will most likely go into the next ice age.
