Re. global warming and other such, I recommend "The Skeptical
Environmentalist" by Bjorn Lomborg. It is brilliant common sense. One
of the things he says is that the cold is getting less cold but the hot
is not necessarily getting hotter. If that is impossible, I must have
read it wrong.

Climate models predict that increasing greenhouse gas forcing results
(in general*) in greater warming at night, during the winter and at high
latitudes, which I could suppose could be badly expressed as "the cold
is getting less cold but the hot is not necessarily getting hotter".

* the interior of East Antarctica is an exception to this rule.
