It certainly is not global as far as your location is concerned.

Nope it's not global warming. Below is a link taking you to a NASA chart showing the temperature change from 1880 to 2005. Since 1880 the earth's temperature has risen less than 7/10 of 1 degree C. See for yourself here: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif
There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. The fact that people choose to ignore the facts of these charts shows that they have an agenda to convince the masses of something that really is not happening.
In fact here's a link to a secular scientific article that shows the earth was actually warmer in the past than it is today.

And here's an article from a Harvard University study that says: "Such claims have now been sharply contradicted by the most comprehensive study yet of global temperature over the past 1,000 years. A review of more than 240 scientific studies has shown that today's temperatures are neither the warmest over the past millennium, nor are they producing the most extreme weather - in stark contrast to the claims of the environmentalists.
The review, carried out by a team from Harvard University, examined the findings of studies of so-called "temperature proxies" such as tree rings, ice cores and historical accounts which allow scientists to estimate temperatures prevailing at sites around the world.
The findings prove that the world experienced a Medieval Warm Period between the ninth and 14th centuries with global temperatures significantly higher even than today."

I hope that helps...

Actually it is Global Warming. Global warming is also causing major droughts, loss of land to sea level rise, more fierce storms, more rain and snow fall (due to more evaporation of water), stronger and more frequent hurricanes and tornados, and all kinds of other trouble. The World Meteorological Organization is predicting 2007 will be the hottest year on record. Of the hottest years on record, 10 were during the last 15 years. If you don't think it's real, in today's news - "The researchers found that from 1998 to 2005 ExxonMobil gave $16 million to a group of 43 advocacy organizations that were trying to confuse the public on global warming science." Why would they do that?
