ice age
Heat/cold 'have and have-nots'
Worst Texas drought in recorded history and not getting any better soon.
An ice age is just more precipitation. If enough snow falls, glaciers will grow.
What the above shows is how certain areas don't enjoy the increased precipitation. So there's more rain and snow but it all goes up north...

melting ice
Ice melt found across 97 percent of Greenland, satellites show
Over four days, Greenland's ice sheet went from 40 percent in thaw to nearly entirely in thaw. Such island-wide thaws have happened every 150 years or so, at least over the last few thousand years. Arctic sea ice extent this summer is so far tracking at very low, near record levels, and the ice cover is unusually diffuse.
Because they hold so much ice on land, Greenland and Antarctica have the potential to raise sea levels significantly if warming continues or worsens. Sea levels have already risen by about 8 inches in the last century, partly due to some ice melt but also thermal expansion caused by warming seas. The U.N. climate panel estimates sea level could rise between 7 inches and nearly two feet this century -- the latter a scenario that could prove catastrophic for many coastal areas around the globe.
