Melting Polar ice...
An increase in hurricanes....
Wild weather patterns....
Wildlife changing patterns of migration...
Plant life "moving" to different hardiness zones...
Warmer oceans...
Loss of tundra...
Reduced snowfall leading to more bare ground...
Warming surface temps...
Warming atmosphere...
Shifting species domains...
etc., etc., etc....
These are long-term changes. There have been droughts and floods throughout Earth's history which do not positively indicate climate change. But when you have, for example, butterflies that have had the same migration pattern for thousands of years, and they all of a sudden change their route, something has gone terribly wrong.

Some of the most immediate effects of recent climate change are becoming apparent through impacts on biodiversity. The life cycles of many wild plants and animals are closely linked to the passing of the seasons; climatic changes can lead to interdependent pairs of species (e.g. a wild flower and its pollinating insect) losing synchronization, if, for example, one has a cycle dependent on day length and the other on temperature or precipitation. In principle, at least, this could lead to extinctions or changes in the distribution and abundance of species. One phenomenon is the movement of species northwards in Europe. time to time earth's climate changes... though now we are currently experiencing global warming. The unconventional weather proves it. hope my answer somehow help you!

The climate is always changing. There is no such thing as a static climate. If the Earth isn't cooling, it's warming.

That you can´t ask such a question without specifying the timescale and the temperature change you are talking about.
My wall is moving (on which scale ?)
I am dying (at which rate?)
My food is poisened (on which concentration ?)
I breathe fresh air (which temperature ? concentration of pollutants?)

History. No biggie though, happens every couple million years. No way to fix it.
