all of us ! In my lifetime, I have seen the temperature changes. This time of year in Texas,30 years ago, we'd be wearing jackets, and bundled up in blankets for the football games. But now, people are wearing shorts ! We are all on this one planet. The wars, bombs, pollution, chemicals, etc,.... that we humans have produced, are not natural. Earth will become a cancerous tumor of sorts if we all don't "heal" it.

All countries are affected by global warming. I seriously am not being a smart-alec when I say this, but it is Global warming. The median temp has increased world wide 3 degrees in the passed 25 years and there has been documented glacial shifting in both poles. Incresases in tropical storms are well documented and are attributed to global warming, and even the more bitter winters that are experienced are evidence of global warming as an ecological response to counteract the raise in temperature. Thus why global warming will eventually leadto another iceage.

The UK had flooding this year which was worsened due to Global warming.
The devastating floods across West and East Africa. Iv'e not heard scientific confirmation that it was GW, but my money is on it.
Darfur; The conflict is down to a drought, which is probably down to global warming.
Bangledesh; Severe flodding this year Regulatity and amount of flooding has increased in recent years. GW methinks. Bangladesh being very low lying is going to get hit hard by rising sea levels
US: Katrina.

All of them to some degree, since Antarctica is not a country.
The most impressive (in a bad way) effect has been the shrinkage of the Arctic ice:

The most overlooked may be the damage to the Vermont maple syrup industry:

But the effects are everywhere.

Most countries within the arctic circle. Seasonal plants are blooming sooner than ever recorded, animal populations are losing feeding grounds that are being replaced by water, and hurricanes have been occurring in record numbers.

Greenland will lose some or all of its ice sheets if the planet keeps warming up
