The problem with the term "global warming" is that it gives people the visual image in their mind of a spherical globe with uniform warming of the atmosphere, then proceed to reject that for multiple reasons. The full term should be "global thermodynamic warming", with the average temperature increasing gradually, except wildly fluctuating in localized regions, hot pockets of air dumping into cold pockets with tremendous releases of power and energy. These super storms won't be super that long, they will become the new normal.
