Questions about Global Warming

GTT: Has the earth, in fact, warmed dramatically over the past 40 years? Has it warmed at all? By how much? If it has warmed, did most of that warming take place in a single year or did it increase gradually over time?

Also, if there is a temperature increase, are the temperatures being measured on the ground or somewhere up in the atmoshpere? How reliable are temperature readings in other parts of the world?

(I notice that when I turn on a desk light by a thermometer in my son's room, the temperature increases by a degree or so. Might something like that happening with the measure of ground temperatures?)

Also, if temperatures decrease this year and in the next few years, would that invalidate the global warming hypothesis? (By the way, why have some people stopped talking about global warming and started talking about "climate change"?)
