Personally, I don't know whether there is any significant long term warming occuring on the earth


Well, there is. It can be seen from the satellite data and weather station data as well as in melting glaciers. The meltdown will continue for a long time as it is also one of the delayed effects Mnementh mentioned. The huge East Antarctica is so large and isolated that it's gaining mass though because of increased precipitation.
