In Britain most people feel that the effects of global warming can be felt here already, with weather records being broken at an alarming rate. Do people in USA feel the same in America. i.e. IS IT NOTICABLE IN USA NOW?

I'd say Yes, we've noticed it here in the USA, as well. The seasons are all messed up. Here it is, mid January and we're just now getting our first snow here in South Central Iowa. More severe weather during the summer months than I ever remember, too.

The global warming scientists are looking at decades long trends. The anomalies of a single weather season do not provide adequate scientific data for any useful assumptions in either country.

There is a noticeably warmer temperature trend in the mid-section of the USA this winter. Also, a prolonged drought pattern that might be attributable to global warming...this is a controversial viewpoint. Plant life and wild animals are apparently experiencing altered life cycle patterns as well. Many of these could be caused by the current el Nino activity in the Southern Pacific. But, yes, IMHO there are several indicators of global warming.

Definitely. Especially where I live. About weeks ago, it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature dropped majorly overnight (literally). Now, it's below freezing, and the whole place is absolutely COVERED in ice. We were also recently esperiencing a severe drought. I think it was an all time record.

It is very noticeable in Australia too ! Don't forget us Aussies. Here month after month have been record higher than average temperatures and lowest rainfalls on record. In NSW and Victoria over 90% of the states are in drought and we are on harsh water restictions for watering lawns, cars etc.
