Yes. We're losing all the ice on Greenland in the summer months. The Arctic and Antarctic are also losing ice mass. The Amazon rain forest is being cut down by the Brazilians. The ocean temperatures are rising and our coral reefs are dying off. Weather patterns are changing because off of too many human beings on this planet and all the garbage and emissions we produce.
The Paris Climate Accord focused on carbon emissions, not on limiting human population. IMO the global problem is really needing to greatly cut back on the number of babies produced each year in developing countries... and developed countries need to stop being afraid of shrinking human populations in their own countries (we can't count on increasing numbers to pay for senior retirement and care).
Less people, less garbage produced, less disposable diapers thrown away, less pressure on how to feed billions more people, less pressure on our wildlife... etc, etc...
But yes, in the big picture, our planet is getting hotter on its surface.
What’s warming is the oceans. And ocean temps are the ultimate drivers of both climate and weather, and always have been. It isn’t rocket science to understand that adding massive amounts of energy to a global system will cause global changes in how that system operates.
you might want to stop these posts. They just show your complete lack of ignorance about climate change, global warming and the difference between weather and climate.

Earth’s globally averaged temperature for 2017 made it the third warmest year in NOAA’s 138-year climate record, behind 2016 (warmest) and 2015 (second warmest).
In my neck of the woods -- three records broken in three consecutive days -- warmest days ever in the history of recording temps for this area, at this time of year.
Especially when extra CO2 is pumped into the atmosphere.

ERth hasn’t warmed appreciably in quite some time.
