What extreme weather events are not predicted to increase due to global warming?
I mean is there any aspect of the weather that would not be affected or even get better?
As a corollary question, what extreme weather events would be predicted due to global cooling? Are there any extreme weather events that would occur for BOTH warming and cooling?

It is fake so it cannot affect the weather . Pelosi and Gore blamed Katrina on AGW
but no proof and a congress lady blamed turbulence on it . Dumb people in Congress
with bad examples .

If it really warmed up we would start to notice less cold weather at high latitudes. That would take a lot of warming, probably 5-10 C or more.The amount of warming that we have experienced so far is not enough to prevent cold climates from experiencing cold weather. Cold weather does not happen because of global warming not happening or because of "global climate disruption." Due to a combination of natural and man made factors, the Earth has warmed by about 1 C over the last century, so a place which might have been able to expect -40 C could now expect -39 C.

Both Global warming and cooling cannot go together. However, unusual weather conditions like-typhoons, cyclones, Snowstorms, Cloud bursts etc. can affect normal temperature but that cannot result in Warming one place and cooling another place simultaneously.
Earthquakes and Tsunamis cannot be predicted well in advance and cannot be co-related with global warming.

It's not clear whether the number of hurricanes, particularly in the Atlantic Basin, will increase due to global warming. Simplistically one would expect there to be more and stronger hurricanes due to global warming, since hurricanes are heat engines that run off water vapor over warm oceans, but there are factors such as wind shear that may limit the number. Hurricane forecasting is getting better in the numerical models, but it is far from perfect, so nobody really knows.
Downscaling to global climate models to regional models is still in its infancy, so forecasting how the frequency of weather events will change is difficult and untrustworthy.
However, I think it is a pretty safe bet that extreme cold events will decrease with global warming. Note that does not mean that winter storms will decrease, since they are not typically extreme cold events--they are just strong storms with temperatures that may be only slightly below freezing.

According to the AGW crowd, anything that is climate related points to AGW. Areas set record lows and it's AGW, we get snow in December, it's AGW. We get hurricanes in Sept and it's AGW. We get tornado's in Oklahoma and it's AGW. Finally, they admit that the last record year was also an El Nino year that was extremely strong, but it was man's CO2 that tipped the temperature scale instead of the extremely El Nino that added around a full degree Celsius to the average. I mean, it is getting very funny to listen to these people.

Global warming alarmists predict everything but nice warm weather. If it were cooling, we would also get the prediction of extreme weather but the argument would change slightly. Instead of energy into the system, they would likely discuss temperature gradients and snow storms or some other such nonsense. When you throw billions of dollars into providing explanations for this and that, it can buy a lot of arguments but they aren't necessarily correct arguments.

We will find out about Cooling effects soon enough! The Earth has been headed that way for the past decade.

Didn't you get the memo? It's not Global Warming anymore.
Alarmists are now supposed to call it "Global Climate Disruption".
