Short term effects of global warming are:

1) Abnormally warm temperatures in the Winter and Summer months in various areas of the planet (actually throughout the year, but most easily contrastable in those seasons)

2) Deaths of certain forms of life that are not as adaptable to such temperature changes

3) Increases in glacial and ice cap melting, producing increases in sea level

4) Deaths of certain forms of life due to (3)...such as coral, which can only survive in certain pH levels, which changes in the sea as more fresh water is introduced into the oceans due to Arctic/Antarctic ice melting

5) Increases in the severity of certain storm patterns (such as tropical cyclones) and even local weather patterns

6) Increases in drought conditions in various areas

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist.

What are some topics you could choose to write about for global warming?

History of climate change throughout the years, factors causing global warming such as methane gas and water vapor, the effects of CO2 on temperature is probably over-done, but something comparing the amounts of say, CO2 and water vapor in the atmosphere and their relative effects on insulating the atmosphere and the ensuing global warming would be more original.
