The main fundamental causes of global warming are two-fold:
The first one is our total dependence on the burning of fossil fuels to generate energy to power our industrialized lifestyles.
The second one is the way we use our land to produce food, timber products etc.
These economic activities are the major drivers of an increase of greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere.
See the Global Warming Causes article for more detail.
The effects of global warming are indeed numerous and far-reaching.
Among other things, they include: changed climate patterns and the rise global sea level, reduction in snow cover & glacier retreat, rise in extreme weather events such as floods & droughts, loss of plant & animal diversity, reduced water supplies and decrease in agricultural productivity.
