From what I have seen, summers where I live havent been that warm at all lately.
No. No proof. 97% of scientists agree that there is no proof for Global Warming.
In Science, we do not speak of PROOF, but of evidence (data) which supports or does not support a given hypothesis or theory. In the case of AGW, the evidence simply does not exist..and we have gradually come to see that this campaign is much more a political matter than one of scientific pursuit.
There are over a dozen reasons why the AGW hypothesis is flawed. As just a start:
Carbon dioxide is not a toxic, troublesome substance...and is not the primary "greenhouse gas." Water vapor and clouds represent the main one.
Temperature changes tend to PRECEDE CO2 elevation, not the reverse.
Nearly all of the Antarctic continent now features a much thicker ice--pack, compared to twenty years ago, so the fear-mongering about glacier melting is inappropriate and downright silly.
Much of the data provided to supply the AGW position has been shown to be fatally flawed..whether by accident or intention. Very serious problems here.
There is NO scientific consensus on the issue, no matter how much the "alarmists" may scream and rant. Honest.
There is some evidence of slight warming. 0.8 degrees over the past 100 years and the seas are rising at 3 mm/ year instead of the 1-2 since the little Ice Age.
EVERYTHING else the warmers show is nothing but BS garbage. They talk about droughts floods, etc, but have no statistical analysis showing a link. They just HOPE that by showing extreme weather on the news more often, that people wil forget that the Earth has always had tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, floods, etc.
They are preying on the ignorance and short memory of the general population. Unfortunately, there are enough suckers that will willingly lap up what they spew.
No, at this time there is evidence that the warming is not associated with CO2. Which would indicate that the warming observed during the 80's and 90's was mostly natural and the predictions about a significanly cooling climate should be taken seriously.
Of course global warming is happening. Climate Realist gave you a lot of good sources as proof. So here is the thing. I understand where your question is coming from. This year, everyone where I live kept saying that if global warming was real why do we have so much snow. It is totally contradictory. But just because of that you can't say global warming is fake. Global climate patterns are going crazy. Even though the phenomenon has the word "warming" in it, does not mean that the world has to be warming everywhere. The planet is warming up eventually. And it is because of global warming that the weather has been all over the place. As more carbon dioxide is released up to the atmosphere, the weather will continue to get warmer. Desserts will increase. The glaciers will melt. In fact, they are melting. The migration patterns of animals that migrate due to food source and are, thus, dependent on temperature, are changing. A couple of days ago I saw a bird species that was never spotted in the area before.
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. Long term climate change and plant.
Global warming/climate change is a reality 2000-2010 was the warmest decade in 134 years, yet we still have deniers thinking there has been no warming 2013 was tied for the fourth warmest year in 134 years. Only an ignorant fool would think there has been no warming. Regardless of your summers, GW is a global phenomenon and the global temp continues to rise in the face of denial
Given you don't mention where you live (a common feature of questions like this) it's hard to say
Although given what the world looked like at the end of the last Northern Summer, perhaps you are on a different planet.

If you are talking about the just gone Southern Summer it was very warm Australia continually broke temperature records as we have the last several years, that has continued into Autumn, with places like Sydney having very unseasonal temps into the low to mid 20's (c) right into late May.
(that's if you want to make this about local weather as deniers often seem to want to)
As the above NOAA info shows, globally the period Jun-Aug was quite warm, this period ranked as (Land & Ocean) the 5th warmest Jun-Aug period in the modern record.

Yes! It is almost Summer! So the north part of the globe where majority of human kind live is warming up! =D
Not really, CO2 does cause some warming, a doubling of CO2 will cause 3.7watts per sq meter warming which is equal to one degree C and that wont happen until about the year 2050.
The other so called positive feedbacks are just nonsense, okay some glaciers are melting and have been for hundreds of years, long before CO2 was rising, but global sea ice extent is above average, so decreased albedo is incorrect in fact with Antarctic ice at record levels, albedo is increasing.
The other feedback water vapor although it is a strong greenhouse gas, also has negative feedbacks, by evaporation condensation and cloud formation it actually acts as a regulator a sort of thermostat preventing our climate getting too hot.
yes. The globe started warming after the little ice age ended in the mid 19th century.
And even though some AGW cultists still spew crap about the 10 warmest years on a heavily manipulated and weighted instrumental record ( http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/09/26/na... * http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html... * http://nasawatch.com/archives/2010/01/ch... ) nobody is still able to farm grains and corn on Greenland the way the vikings used to do over 1000 years ago. What's up with that? It must have been much warmer 1000 years ago so what relevance is this 10 warm years crap compared to the written records of 1000+ years ago? LOL
Please explain if there is.
From what I have seen, summers where I live havent been that warm at all lately.
No proof at all. All The "Global Warming" and "Climate Change" falls well within the natural variability. To proclaim a theory and claim 90-95% certainty in this circumstance is just silly. What the ippc does, is the exact opposite of science. This is well known and proveable, but unless you have a basic understanding of the scientific method and know very well how the ippc operates it may seem believable because of the tecqniques such as cherry picking, manipulating data, controlling science journals and massive netwoking used, and authority and expertise they proclaim.
Yes
and where i live it is quite common for weather reporters to report record high temps.
they almost seem to like reporting that.

temperature of earth has been increased.
level of sea has been increased due to melting of ice
most of places are converting to desertification
the amount of fresh water are decreasing
Lot's. Global warming is happening
http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2010...
And we are causing it
http://c1planetsavecom.wpengine.netdna-c...
The ten warmest years in the instrumental record are 2010, 2005, 2009, 2007, 2002, 1998, 2006, 2003, 2011 and 2012.

"summers where I live" is no indication of long term climate over the entire planet.
that's why thousands of scientists measure ocean temperatures, have satellite data and a lot of education.
for the layman, maybe you should ask why glaciers and arctic sea ice are melting.
Scientists can't agree if it is warming or cooling, if it is cyclical or linear, if it is correcting to the norm or exceeding the norm or much of anything else. They agree on virtually nothing other than we have to pay them for their opinion of what cow farts (largest producer of methane gas in the world) will do to the world of year 2750.
It is exactly this lack of continuity that makes the issue lack credibility.
That doesn't mean we trash the planet, (we are still to act responsibly) but for politicians to use theory as a weapon to threaten and coerce citizens is absolutely unacceptable.
It is directly measured. This is the database from the satellite measurements. The trend in this record (from 1978) is +0.14 degrees per decade globally. There have also been studies that documented specifically that less long-wave radiation is escaping to space and more is reflected back to the surface.
http://www.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/u...
There is also sea level rise, which is also measured by satellite.
http://sealevel.colorado.edu/
Sea level is rising due to a combination of thermal expansion (the oceans are getting warmer) and melting land ice, both of which are caused by global warming.
There are thousands of studies. There is great evidence that the environment is warming, that the warming is primarily due to enhancement to the greenhouse effect, and that the enhancement is due to human activities. For a good summary and maybe to answer more of your questions, go the America's National Academy of Sciences. That is what the NAS exists for.

your are confusing weather with climate .
There is
The atmosphere is thicker
Tree rings, ice core samples illustrate global warming is taking place.
The unstable current weather is a foretaste of things to come. Droughts, flooding etc.
