When they called it global warming people equated "warming" with it, but heat is only one type of energy and the reality is that the weather is becoming more energetic. So the real change is an increase in energy. A bigger flood is more energetic, bigger hurricane is more energetic, the fires indicate a bigger drought -- indicative of more heat (longer, hotter).
But climate change is not about a hot day or cold day. We have had cold winds blowing from Canada throughout recorded history.
Regardless of how much carbon dioxide goes into the air the north pole is still tilted towards the sun in the summer and tilted away in the winter. The fact that the North pole has a 6 month night will mean we will always have some very cold polar air.
