large scale outbreaks of pleasant weather across the UK. infestations of surprisingly mild winters.

A negative effect would be the increase in storms due to the rising temperatures in sea water which will trigger hurricanes. Also,incredibly hot summers. It's alright for those who live in the South or close to the equator, but observing how the heat wave in 2003 affected the Europeans, it will be dangerous for them and countries in the northern hemisphere. A positive one would be warmer winters and a more comfortable habitat for many of the world's species.

Patterns of migration and distribution of wildlife will be changed as ice melts in places that used to be frozen and the winter season enters a little bit later in the year and departs a little bit earlier.

To quote from the 2009 NIPCC report: 

"Air temperature variability almost always decreases when mean air temperature rises, be it in cases of temperature change over tens of thousands of years or over mere decades, or even between individual cooler and warmer years when different ENSO states are considered.

The claim that global warming will lead to more extremes of climate and weather, including more extremes of temperature itself, is not supported by real-world data."
