Yes. Its pretty complex. I still cannot wrap my mind around the fact as to
why greenhouse gases let the heat from the Sun 'in' first but wont let it go
out :-)

The consequences are, while the temp (the avg temp actually) rises on a
global scale, the local changes are unpredictable. That's why its being
referred to as climate change now rather than global warming. The
implication of avg temp rising is that the ocean and atmospheric currents go
haywire on a global scale and for all we know Chennai could end up with an
arctic tundra climate.
