The warming doesn’t have to just stop but has to reverse. Assuming we aren’t past the critical point of some unknown hysteresis curve.

Worrying is normal. There would just be another thing.

Eh, we even had an entire week of snow this winter, so I don't see what all the fuss is about...

California had a couple of winters of heavy rain and snow as a consequence of this warming trend. It’s counterintuitive but just as damaging.

I was meaning that tongue-in-cheek (like, I assume, the GP too) and you're right of course.

In fact there were a series of short but unusually intense cold snaps in recent years in both the EU and US, which I think can also be traced back to climate change relatively easily: Global warming changes the way the polar jetstreams (aka polar vortices(?)) move, so the one in the northern hemisphere will more often stay to the south of populated areas and expose them to polar air and unusually cold weather.

Then there is the other effect that warmer air captures more moisture and so warming can paradoxically lead to more draughts and more rainstorms.
