It's predicted that Europe will get colder due to climate change. "Europe will get cold toes" - NASA [0]

Only Spain isn't Europe - meanwhile 12° further north, temperatures are normal (even a bit on the warmer side) for the season.

A single night of record breaking low temperatures doesn't mean much. 24 years ago today, it was -18°C in my little corner of the world, the next night it was more than 12°C warmer already.

Freak weather extremes will increase in both intensity and frequency, but doomsday predictions usually don't hold much water as we know too little about the system as a whole and the feedback mechanisms involved.

Is there really data to back this up?

Well, only the west coast of Europe. And only if the Gulf Stream stops.
