Increasing heat in air and oceans also means increasing wind speeds worldwide as well

 As it gets hotter the hot air rises faster. And since the oceans are like a heat storage battery storing solar heat more and more each day, as ice melts it becomes blue or green water which naturally absorbs more heat from the sun. Ice reflects heat but blue and green water absorbs much more heat from the sun. So, as the ice melts and more blue and green water appears it will heat up faster and faster until a tipping point is reached sort of like when the ice in a soft drink all melts and the drink soon is warm and no longer cold at all.

And as the hotter air rises faster this causes great winds to move to fill in the vaccuum of the much hotter rising air faster and faster worldwide.

This is why I foresee the worst problems mankind will have to deal with are regarding high winds in the future. 

The first problem is you cannot grow food on the surface of earth if your plants all blow away in the wind unless you go with some sort of greenhouse to protect plants from wind and weather.

That's just the first problem.

The next problem is you can't haul food and goods over land or sea if the winds are too high where even trains are going to blow down in the winds.

So, things like Musk's Boring Company might be useful to haul things using electrical power underground through tunnels (at least under the land) because this way the winds wouldn't affect these kinds of shipments in tunnels underground.
