Since the answer was deleted, I'll provide it again. The temperature at one place on one day does not - that's not - serve as in indicator of the global long-term running average. If it did, we'd stick a thermometer in Houston and call it a day.

So when we have a cold winds creating a frigid year in North America, that's just weather, but when warm air currents and ocean currents create a warm year in the Arctic, that's proof of catastrophic man-made global warming.

Lake Michigan 90 Percent Covered In Ice, Equals Highest Level Ever « CBS Chicago

(CBS) — After having a meltdown early last week, Lake Michigan is now just over 90 percent covered in ice, which equals the highest levels ever recorded.

The lake was also just over 90 percent frozen in 1976, 1979 and 1994, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

Who knows what this summer will be like, will we have an El Nino or La Nina? That's important, because a warm El Nino is proof of man-made global warming, while a cooler La Nina is just weather.

Already been stated many times, this is called weather in a geographic region not a trend.
The Coast Guard was questioning if they should mothball some of their icebreakers the last 2 decades because of the warming trend.

Let me see 20 years of warming in the GL vs 1 extremely cold winter and you come to the conclusion that the world isn't warming.

The last time the ice cover was even close to this level was in 1996, when it
was approximately 82%.

Additionally, this is the first time since 1994 that four of the Great Lakes
(Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie) are 90% or more ice covered, according to
George Leshkevich, another scientist at the lab.

It was warmer in the past, therefore no global warming? How is that logical?

Don't expect an answer.

Globe had fourth warmest January on record

I always love it when they take about warmest or coldest on record. Then they talk about how the top 5 or top ten occurred in the last 10 years, etc.

Problem with this is that back when we first started taking data it was in limited areas and measurements were few and far between. Today ever single elementary school has the ability to give a temperature measurement.

So warmest day on record really doesn't tell us anything other than what the average was this year.

Yep..............that is what it is all about.........the useful ones just go along with it all.....they are useful.

If global warming is actually occurring, the Great Lakes region should be warm.

Of course the warming cult will claim those cooler temps are the hottest ever.

As the cooling cult will claim the tiny area of the Great Lakes represents the entire globe

Weather is cyclical. Period. That's just how it works and any climatologist worth his salt will tell you that.

It's just unfortunate that the extremists make the most noise and rile everyone else up.

Keep calm people.
