Global warming has been proven in a way evolution and gravity have.
More than 98% of serious scientist agree. The 2% that don't usually have a hidden agenda. Most of those people are sponsored by big oil or coal.
Basically, this.
The thing is too, many people who deny global warming also do not fully understand what it actually is. They see a colder winter or two in their area, and they think "global warming aint real". But global warming is simply a rise in the average temperature around most of the world. I live in Boise, ID and we have had an extremely and unusally cold and snowy winter this year, but that of course was largely due to the La Nina' that has come through this year. I still know that global warming is very real. The problem with denying climate change based on what you see in your particular area is that it is similar to the logic "I just ate lunch, therefore world hunger is solved". It might not be warmer in your particular area at a given time, but that doesn't mean the average temperature around the world isn't rising, because it absolutely is.
Boise has more seasons (you get all 4 here) here than in Los Angeles (its basically summer most of the year, with a very very short fall/spring and a mild, dry winter), where I lived the first 34 years of my life. After living there for so many summers, I can say they seem to get hotter almost every year, with 2006 being record breaking as I recall. Winters had gotten slightly cooler or stayed around the same. I guess Los Angeles is having torrential rains right now, but again, this has to due largely with La Nina. Of course, this stuff isn't all that (if at all) important when it comes to scientific fact regarding climate change, but since we were talking about our own anecdotes I thought I would throw in what I've seen personally.
This, however, IS significant:

scroll down just a little, and check the graphs off to the right. Says it all.
