According to the theory of increased greenhouse gases causing warming, most warming actually should occur by raising the winter temperatures and the night time temperatures. In addition, much more warming should occur in the Siberia and the Arctic than Africa. The effect of the greenhouse gases moderates the temperatures, especially those temperatures at the colder intervals. Alarmists seldom mention this since it doesn't really support their gloom and doom scenario.

There is no such thing as 'localized' global warming. Weather patterns have been shifting around for the entire lifespan of this planet. Warming, cooling, mini-ice ages, droughts, cold spells... these variations occur all year round.
The notion of 'global warming' is that the entire planet, on average, is warming. This is true. It has been for the past 10,000 years. The glaciers have retreated 2,000 miles and the oceans have risen hundreds of feet in that time. With the life-crushing glaciers driven back, life has prospered where once only ice stood.

When ever the weather is cold, that just localized weather.
When it's warmer than average, that's proof of man made global warming.
There is no such thing as localized global warming. If it's warmer in one place, that raises the temperature of the climate globally.

Climate change happens slowly over many seasons. Warming is probably more noticeable in the summertime because we like being a little bit warmer in the winter but in the summer it can be very uncomfortable. Know what I mean?

Do you mean 'local' warming when there is no winds?
Some call it 'Urban Heat Island AKA 'heat inversion effect'.
Temperatures can be 7 degree hotter in cities than outlaying areas - usually only occurs in summer.

There is no such thing as "localized global warming." If it is a local occurrence then by definition it cannot be global. Think harder.
