Indeed it would. If the Northern Hemisphere were iced, and the
tropics increased in temperature by global warming, then wind would
pick up a large part of the temperature exchange. We would have to
invent new storm categories, say VI and VII, to adequately describe
the worst storms. This could severely impact coastal windmills as
well as the feasibility of living in coastal areas.
