It IS getting warmer, but the thing is as the globe as a whole heats up big climatological shifts are bound to happen. The northern part of western europe relies on a large subsurface current in the atlantic to keep it abnormally mild compared to the climate you would expect based on its latitude. However as the globe, and specifically the oceans, warm up we are going to see a lot of shifts in the norm as the currents change. Don’t think it just means everything gets cooler then too, the ocean will still be carrying around more heat and will find somewhere to dump it, so likely other areas all along it’s route will see proportional spikes in heat if the current ever stops.

All in all we’re in for a bad time.
