It's a loaded term really.
Global warming is umbrella term for 'Extreme Weather Conditions'.
You get mega droughts followed by mega flooding (depending on region).
Those are tied to global increase in mean temperature.

Yes and no. It explicitly means that the average temperature, globally, is increasing. Drastically so.
Extreme weathers is just one of the side effects. Others include: ecological collapse, insane scale population migration, catastrophic sea level rise, etc, etc.
Shifts in rain patterns due to these oscillations have always occurred, what does this mean?

That means climate change is a natural function going back billions of years. See:

Here's hurricane data in US going back to 1800s: https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/All_U.S._Hurricanes.htm...
(Note, we didn't have instrumentation for measuring exact strength of hurricanes prior to satellite era in the 1970s)
So I am sorry chrisco, but I am not sure what you are alluding to?
It's not the absolute we have to watch out for. It's the rate of change!
