If winter temperatures have raised 9 degrees in the past 50 years does that mean that they will raise another 9 degrees in the next 50 years?
No. The 9 degrees is due partly to greenhouse gas induced global warming and partly to natural climate variablity in the form of changing winds. If the warm winds from the south shift again, we will lose that warmth. If the winds change again, there is a chance that the warming will continue, but not as high a rate.
