i am no expert in global warming, but i seem to remember reading somewhere that global warming will turn some places warmer and will turn other areas colder.

maybe someone can confirm this one way or the other.

Yes that is correct. There are speculations that climate change can shut down ocean circulation, which means western Europe won't get warm equatorial currents anymore, and will experience frigid, snowy winters like Canada.

Meanwhile, currently moderate, rainy climates will become hot and dry, which threatens food supplies for billions of people.
