“Great Lakes ice is now running ahead of last year and ice will increase with more brutal cold coming,” says meteorologist Joe d’Aleo. “We are likely to have the most ice since records began.” http://iceagenow.info/2015/02/great-lak ... orologist/

when originally posted ice cover was pushing around 80 %-- spring is coming yay!

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/24/busin ... .html?_r=0

In 2014, ice cover peaked at 92.5 percent, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Mich. Ice persisted in some places until June. This year, ice cover was 89.1 percent.

“Two especially severe winters back to back — we haven’t seen that in a long time,” said George A. Leshkevich, who tracks the ice for the research laboratory. “All the lakes seem pretty brutal.”

Gregg Ward, the co-owner of the ferry, said, “Our expenses continue, so it’s a tragedy for us. By the time this is over, we’ve lost 20 percent of the year.”

As the thaw gets underway, the shipping situation can actually worsen if wind causes ice to pile up in stacks. “I’ve been on a 235-foot Coast Guard ship going full speed ahead, and when it hit one of those, the ship shuddered to a stop,” said Lt. Davey Connor of the Coast Guard district in Cleveland, which is responsible for the Great Lakes.

Many companies are now playing the waiting game.

A United States Coast Guard icebreaker made initial attempts at breaking up ice last week in the port here. Eight imposing grain elevators, which collectively have the largest storage capacity in North America, make the Thunder Bay port an important hub for Canadian exports heading to the Atlantic Ocean.

hmmm --I guess in a a few years someone will be able to make violins like Stradivarius

Some scientists hypothesize that the dense wood used in Stradivarius instruments was caused by slow tree growth during the cooler period.
Instrument maker Antonio Stradivari was born a year before the start of the Maunder Minimum.

No, a new solar Superminimum (proposed name: Eddy Minimum) will not delay global warming by more than a few years:

That link does not even understand the theory, let alone refute it.

The theory is that the magnetic fields in the solar wind modulate the cosmic rays from deep space, which changes cloud formation.

He is just looking at the total energy from the sun. Complete miss.

Look, I could by into Global Warming except that UN, EU, Obama et al are 100 percent behind it and they castrate anyone going off the mem. Plus those pesky Temp data fudges they get caught pulling off once in a while (NASA hello are you there?). So I bees a skeptik since in the 70's as they told me an Ice Age is coming (and scared the !@#$ outta me tiny fragile mind) so I was indoctrinated with that. Hey, look Bear Grylls is on - cool! Okay check you dudes later cause I love Bear Grylls and look...is that Mt McKinley in the background? Hope he brings SarahP (cause she is soooo good looking)!

Jagdish Shukla’s #RICO20 blunder may have opened the ‘largest science scandal in US history’

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/10/02/j ... s-history/

At issue is at least 63.5 million dollars from the National Science Foundation, and where it went, whether it was used for the purpose intended, and who benefited from that money. The problem at hand seems to be that there may have been more than a little “double dipping” going on with that grant money as Steve McIntyre pointed out in Shukla’s Gold:

Andrew Dessler, who, like most climate academics, has consistently denied that research funding has any impact on alarmism,

From your Dr. Sircus link:
Doctor of Oriental and Pastoral Medicine

What does he know about astrophysics or climatology?

And the article cites the "17 year pause" meme which is already being refuted (first two-thirds of this year well above previous record).

Another Inconvenient Truth? New NASA Study Finds Antarctica Is Gaining Ice

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-0 ... aining-ice
---------------------------------------------------
and for your amusement a comment from the above

ZerOhead

And if it's not bad (good?) enough news that ANTARCTICA is gaining 100 cubic kilometers of ice each year... and that Antarctic sea ice is so thick and expansive that they may be forced to relocate their iced-in research stations...

http://news.discovery.com/adventure/ant ... e-research...



The Danish Meterological Institute (remember Greenland is governed by Denmark for the bankers) now says that GREENLAND just gained 200 billion metric tonnes (200 cubic kilometers) of ice in the last 12 months alone...

https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/201 ... ng-away-al...



So... ice gains in the Arctic... ice gains in the Antarctic... frost in Belgium, Germany in JULY... record cold temperatures and snowfall in Australia... record Great lakes Ice Coverage in the last two consecutive years...

And yet somehow the BEST GLOBAL WARMING SCIENTISTS MONEY CAN BUY refuse to celebrate the fact that their much feared (or hoped for?) thermageddon has been cancelled... and even go on to the COP21 Klimate Konference in Paris to insist that the planet has never been *WARMER.

*After the necessary temperature adjustments of course.
