The climate of the Earth is constantly changing, going from glacier-covered ice ages to warm periods called "interglacials". 1000 years ago, the glacier-covered island of Greenland used to be the home of Viking dairy farmers; it was a lot warmer then. Then the weather got a lot colder, and the ice covered the island.
For the last 150 years, it's been getting warmer again, and it is now nearly as warm as in Viking times. But we really don't know WHY things change as they do, and we cannot be sure when the cycle will reverse itself and start getting colder.

How do large bodies of water affect the climate of coastal areas?
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it creates warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected.
Is the Earth REALLY getting hotter?
Yes. There is no doubt at all. The earth, the atmosphere and the oceans are getting warmer and warmer.
Why is the climate near the the equator usally warmer?
As you move away from the tropics, the angle of the sun increases and less of the energy of the sun reaches the surface to warm things up. Near the equator, the sun is most nearly directly overhead most of the time and the tropics (near the equator) get the most energy from the sun, thus keeping things warmer.
Is there evidence that the moon is getting warmer?
No
