Answer:
Short term effects of global warming are:
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)
Deaths of certain forms of life that are not as adaptable to such temperature changes
Increases in glacial and ice cap melting, producing increases in sea level
Deaths of certain forms of life due to high temperatures 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
Increases in the severity of certain storm patterns (such as tropical cyclones) and even local weather patterns
Increases in drought conditions in various areas
Explanation:
Also, forest fires.
