Abstract: The author believed that the current global warming is likely to be climate change on a centurial scale, including therein several annualdecadal scales as secondary warm and cold waves. The severe cold winter in 2009/2010 may be a variation at an annual scale and hence unable to modify the global warming trend on a centurial basis. In recent years, China has witnessed rare heat waves, regional severe droughts and storm rainfall, with their strengths higher than the previous events. But it is unlikely to attribute each to global warming. Concurrent with the quick warming worldwide in the past 60 years the trends of temperature in China are similar to those in other parts of the world but the regional differences in precipitation and drought are pronounced in the country. Also, the number of landing typhoons and the frequency of intense sandstorms are on the decrease, whose observations do not indicate the increasing trends both in number and intensity in association with global warming. The author maintains that the increase in climate sensitivity of economic growth is the principal cause of increased climate disasters and loss. Thus, both seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages should be taken into consideration in face of climate change.
