Anthropogenic Climate Change, aka global warming, isn't only warming. It's exacerbation of temperature variants, especially extremes:
-Hot climates will get hotter.
-Cold climates will get colder.
-Hurricanes and tornadoes will happen more often, and they will be stronger.
-Wildfires will be bigger and more frequent.
-Mudslides will be more frequent.
-Extreme cold snaps more frequent and longer lasting.
Etc.
cold climates generally won't get colder, but weather extremes will become more common and more pronounced (think snow in Texas)
In general, the jetstream becomes less intense and moves less, leading to longer periods of the same weather, and both extended drought and extended rain are not great for food production. And the chance of it snapping and letting out part of the polar vortex increases by a lot, causing freak weather anomalies
Montreal used to be solid snow from November to April, now it's weird waves of snow and melt. Slush half the time and garbage weather. Thanks climate change!
Don't forgot the increase in seismic and volcanic events.
Wait, what? How?
Idk, maybe the lava heats up too
