Red shows ice extent loss since August 7, green shows gain. High pressure has been creating winds which are compacting the ice in the Chukchi, East Siberian and Laptev Seas, and will continue to do so for at least a few more days.

Global Warming and the Great Lakes

Already, 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.

Lake Erie water levels, already below average, could drop 4-5 feet by the end of this century

Lake Superior obliterated all records for ice this year, and the water level in all of the Great Lakes is above normal.

‘Unprecedented’ Flooding Event in Detroit Fits Global Warming Pattern

Detroit received 4.57 inches of rain in just a few hours on Monday, breaking its record for that date and coming in second place for the all-time wettest calendar day, behind a 4.74 inch deluge in July of 1925. The heavy rain — which included more than an inch of rain falling in just 24 minutes — led to some of the most widespread flash flooding on record in the Motor City.

Minor street flooding from a rainfall event beaten during one of Hansen’s coldest years on record – proves global warming.

With 10,000 rain gauges and a 100 year record, you would expect to have 100 of them set their all-time record ever year.

Freedman appears to have completely lost it.

Wisconsin had their coldest January-July on record by a wide margin, but the fraudsters experts at NCDC pushed them to the #5 spot.

Note that NCDC ranked them at #5 for the period

NCDC accomplished this using a spectacular hockey stick of adjustments to cool the past.

The frequency of 90 degree days in Wisconsin has dropped by two-thirds over the past 120 years

Over the past two years there has been a large increase in 1.5+ meter thick ice in the Arctic, and the thick ice has shifted nearly 1,000 miles to the west – making it safe from winter winds pushing it out into the Atlantic. Both of these facts spell complete disaster for Arctic death spiral alarmists.

The US has been cooling for the past century. This doesn’t fit the global warming narrative, so NOAA is applying a spectacular hockey stick of adjustments to turn a cooling trend into a warming trend. Since 1997, they are trying to hide the decline in temperatures by adjusting measured temperatures upwards at a very impressive rate of 3.6 degrees per century.

Temperatures have been below normal in 75% the US since October 1, 2013, with the average departure being -1.29 degrees.

But it is worse than it seems. Most of the 25% percent above normal has been barely above normal, while the 75% below normal has been generally much below normal. The next graph shows percentage area weighted by the deviation.

It isn’t warming up, either. 75% of the US has also been below normal temperature this month.

Some years, 70% of North Carolina August temperatures are over 90 degrees. This year it is only 3%.
