Below is information that I have just taken from www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/climate-change/effects-of-climate-change. Changes to the UK climate and weather events Changes in intensity or frequency so far Is this linked to climate change? What is expected in the future? UK warm spells Increase Yes Increase UK cold spells Decrease Yes Decrease UK heavy rain Increase Inconclusive Increase UK dry spells No trend detected Inconclusive Increase (summer) UK wind storms No trend detected Inconclusive Increase* * Some, but not all, evidence supports an increase. In the future, we project that the UK will see: Warmer and wetter winters Hotter and drier summers More frequent and intense weather extremes

I mean when presented like that, it actually sounds quite decent. Better weather yay.
But for the rest of the world, and all our other ecological factors, not so good.

Warmer & wetter winters The warmer part of winter is good , but not the wetter part ,causing flooding( we are lucky to some in this area) Other areas , people being flooded out of their homes on more than one occasion. Hotter & dryer summers The hotter part with temps exceeding 40C making living for the elderly in particular very oppressive The long hot dry spells causing water shortage. There are more & more houses being built , all of which will require water. This could well be a problem in the future.
So, no I don’t think it is good

I just like hot summers.
Wet winters can do one.
But yeah, beyond that it's all negatives.
