I am not convinced that global warming is a fact, despite Al Gore's Nobel Prize. What these "Global Warmers" have not done for me is define the globe and define warming.

This dream of decreasing temperature by 1.5-3C is hilarious, if not outright bogus. Is 15,000 meters in the sky part of the globe? I hope so because, otherwise, I was flying in outer space in the jet air flight I took recently to return to the United States from Brussels. Is -60C that I was flying through actually a symptom of global warming?

I agree this temperature might have warmed up from -65C due to global warming. Nevertheless, they are still in the range of temperatures of "dry ice" - the CO {-2} gas that solidifies and is used by us every day to make ice cream, etc. and keep other items deeply frozen, i.e., below the temperature of -20C of the freezing compartment of our domestic freezer.
