>>But he may be so right, he may have no idea... I never heard that global warming means "all temperatures everywhere and always will go up by 0.n degrees". It means the climate is getting out of balance, heating up on the average - but "out of balance" might as well mean "swinging in all directions".

Not due to global warming but due to urban expansion and water "mining" as is happening with the Colorado and Phoenix, and to more and more people taking showers, running washing machines, leaving the tap on while brushing their teeth, 6 gallon flushing every time they take a leak, etc.

Oh, I don't know. if there are some 20-somethings now making predictions there's a good chance they'll still be alive, and eating Soilent Green :-)
