What are the effects of global warming?

Nowadays it seems as if global warming is blamed for everything. Unusually hot weather, unusually cold weather, floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, disease epidemics - even silent cuckoos have been linked to the gradual rise in the Earth's temperature. Also, The greenhouse effect is a natural process by which gasses in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat in the lower atmosphere that is generated by the sun, thus maintaining temperature on Earth that sustains life.
