Wish the press would stop using that phrase. In the science community its "Climate Change", as not everywhere is getting warmer. Some place are getting wetter, drier or colder.
As it happens, the UK probably will get warmer on average, because of greater cloud cover (caused by evaporation over the sea) throughout the year, not because we're going to have blazing sunshine every other day. We wish!
i had this argument years ago with a manager. I said god the weathers rubbish, global warming isnt a myth anymore, she told me i was an idiot and that its hardly getting hotter so it must be bollocks. argument followed.
