Answer:

In the minds of global warming alarmists.

Political ramifications

When I contribute to global warming, the effects are spread all over the world. So if I was the president of a small-to-medium country, I would have very little to gain by passing laws designed to prevent global warming - and a lot to lose, since my power stations and transport networks rely heavily on burning oil/coal/natural gas. This means the problem cannot be solved by unilateral action by one country. This is part of the reason why developed countries have relatively few laws against global warming, even though they have lots of laws against more localised forms of pollution such as pollution of rivers.

It's not as simple as that

There are many so-called "feedback loops" in global warming. One example is this: When the earth heats up, the polar ice caps melt. Then they become darker in colour, and absorb more sunlight, which makes them even warmer. So, although global warming happens everywhere, it happens more at the poles.

There are other complicated effects, because weather systems are complicated. For instance, many people believe that western Europe will actually get colder, because the Gulf Stream (a current in the north Atlantic Ocean), which carries warm water from the Caribbean Sea, will get weaker.

It's not just a rise in temperature, habitats are either being permanently altered for the worse or they're deteriorating completely.
