You and your stupid Perth again. CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas too and what you described is usual situation in arid places like deserts. And trust me, desert climate is preferable to humid one, for humans that is.
And - AGAIN - daily weather is not climate
I know that perhaps you know that too. [ although I doubt it] So tell that to the alarmists who blame every single unusual but perfectly normal weather event on GW/CC/CD!
Yes, there are people who overstate the problems from climate change or global warming. It is not a threat to the planet. The planet will easily adapt to it, as it has many times before. The problem is that the inhabitants of the planet are not very adaptable, including humans.
Climate change is not responsible for specific weather events. It is nothing but an increase in the amount of solar energy trapped in the atmosphere. It will increase the number of hurricanes for example, but only because more tropical storms will use the extra energy to upgrade to hurricane status. More tropical depressions will become tropical storms. The storms that are formed will be stronger. But the number of tropical depressions will be the same.
The extra energy will heat the oceans and increase the amount of moisture in the air. This is why the small amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has such an outsized impact on the amount of the sun's energy absorbed into the atmosphere. Water vapor is also a greenhouse gas. The extra CO2 increases the amount of water vapor that increases the amount of energy trapped that in turn increases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. It cascades, the process is open-ended on the time scale that we live in. It is only on the long-term, geological scale that the planet compensates and restores a balance, by trapping the CO2 in sedimentary rock on the bottom of the ocean.
There is a more serious problem we have to face in the CO2-water vapor heat cascading cycle. There is much more methane trapped on the ocean floor and the permafrost than in all of the oil and natural gas shales in our wells. The methane is trapped frozen by a combination of low temperature and high pressure or by very low temperature alone in methane hydrate nodules. As the atmosphere and the oceans heat up the methane will be released also. Methane is also a greenhouse gas, but on steroids, it traps 21 times more energy than a like amount of CO2. This is also why our appetite for beef also accelerates global warming. Cattle farts contain a lot of methane.
Climate change and the extra energy and moisture in the atmosphere is why the ice is melting in the arctic and in the antarctic. It is also the reason that snowfalls have increased. This explains the seeming contradiction that the snowfall in Antarctica has increased but it is still losing ice to melting, because of much of the ice, especially in the west, in the Thwaite glacier, is melting from below where the land has subsided under the weight of the ice to where it's below the sea level. The warm water melts the ice faster than the increased snowfall can build it up. This is also why around the world some glaciers are still growing while the vast majority of glaciers are shrinking.
The Thwaite Glacier alone contains enough water to raise the sea levels by 4m if it all melts. It is certain that this will happen if we keep burning hydrocarbons. But how long it takes to melt it is unknown because there is the chance the land will rebound to above the sea level as the ice melts and the weight is removed off of the land, dramatically lowering the rate of the melting. This is just one example of why it is so hard to make definitive predictions about the timing of the effects due to climate change.
