Global warming is the way the Earth is getting warmer. The word 'global' means 'worldwide' and the warming is of the atmosphere, the oceans and the surface of the earth.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), temperatures, averaged over all land and ocean surfaces, have warmed roughly 1.33°F (0.74ºC) over the last century, (see page 2 of the IPCC's Climate Change 2007: Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers Link below.). More than half of this warming, about 0.72°F (0.4°C), has occurred since 1979.
