Experts say that Great Lakes ice is a thing of the past
Lake Superior has increased water temperatures and an earlier onset of summer stratification by about two weeks in just the past 30 years. Within another 30 years Lake Superior may be mostly ice-free in a typical winter.
Global Warming and the Great Lakes – National Wildlife Federation
Reality has a different opinion, with Great Lakes ice obliterating records two years in a row, and eight foot thick ice blocking shipping.

U.S. Coast Guard Working to Clear Path Through Ice – Northern Michigan’s News Leader
Meanwhile, Mark Serreze focuses on writing Arctic propaganda of no scientific value.
Did Sex-poodle Gore quietly relocate to the shores of Lake Michigan in the last two years?

8 feet thick ice.
Hell, I’m at the entrance of the Welland Canal and there’s still two feet of ice on the east end of Lake Erie.
Well, Mark Serreze did predict an ice free Great Lakes by 2020. Or something…

If only we had acted sooner.
It’s too late. Even if we stop making CO2 completely, the Great Lakes will continue to make more ice until the Wisconsin polar bear population reaches unprecedented catastrophic levels.
That prediction made my day! I’m still chuckling.
That article claimed that winter temperatures in NW Minnesota had increased 12 degrees during the last 40 years. That is an obviously crock. What are they doing, taking temperatures from the record cold years of the 1970’s that averaged 12 degrees below normal?
yup
That is nothing. Temps at my place have increased over 60 degrees in last 3 months and still climbing, starting to get worried.
Ya know the government and the universities can pump out all of the propoganda they want to try and sway public opinion. But when spring comes later and winters are more severe they just will not win the argument. Thus we see this: https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/89-of-americans-dont-trust-obama-on-climate/
It’s snowing in western New Hampshire as I write this…April 8…
It’s probably just the Revenge of the Winter Of Death or something. Glad I bought beer.
The amount of ice increased today from 37% to 39% for the great lakes
Our high today was 34ºF.
This is absurd for April. We still have snow on the ground that has been here since early February.
Yabbut absurd record cold temps don’t count. It was in the ’80s in some parts of the midwest today. That counts (as proof of man-made global warming). /sarc
Where are you talking about?
Berlin, New York which is on the border of Massachusetts.
No attention at all is paid to the extraordinarily warm weather on the West Coast this winter, since it doesn’t fit into the deniers arsenal of obfuscation. Anyone on these pages who knew anything about jet stream oscillations and their stability modes would recognize that a very warm West Coast would beget a very cold somewhere else, with somewhere else depending on the oscillation wavelength, which, this winter was about 2500 miles – the distance to the East Coast. Not rocket science, but science of any sort seems to be very far from the minds of most of the visitors to this site.
You obviously have no idea what is discussed here.The wild jet stream is discussed here every day. Blaming the jet stream on harmless carbon dioxide is the epitome of science denial.
The warm winter on the west coast and up into BC and Alaska has been a topic here several times over the last winter.
The bottom line is that warmer than normal weather in western N. America this winter or not, what has been predicted by the alarmist has not happened and is not happening. Every day at this forum Tony points out several instances that make that clear comparing what was predicted with what has actually occurred. When your ready to challenge any of those assertions please feel free to pop back up out of your hole and have at it.
Meanwhile, world temperatures continue to stand still in the only reliable data we have available. ie the satellite data.
The “pause/hiatus/NON-WARMING” continues apace.
Where is all this warming that was meant to happen according to the agenda driven models????????? .. nada, nothing…. zippo !!!
You really don’t have anything to offer, do you, little child !
Oh ye of little knowledge! Whose SUV’s that kept the West Coast ice free, wile Wisconsin was buried in glaciers? Climate was not invented in 1979.
