First of all, that article is alarmist crap that is based entirely on unfair comparisons. He's comparing a one year average with a one-hundred year average. Ridiculous. In addition, he's admitting that El Nino is really the cause, but just has to throw in "global warming" as a contributor.
So, speaking of anecdotal evidence... About 10 years ago my family vacationed on the North Shore, near Grand Marais, MN. It was August and had been an unusually hot summer. The water of Lake Superior was so warm we could swim comfortably in it. 5 years later, my sons & I took a quick trip through Canada and came back down the North Shore Drive. We stopped at the same place, camped there, and intended to swim. Unfortunately it had been a cool summer, and the waters of Lake Superior were so cold that we pretty much froze our balls off, and hypothermia started to set in after about 15 minutes.
We can thus conclude that the average temperature of Lake Superior dropped markedly in 5 years, right? And would that not be proof-positive of Global COOLING?

I think there was only one day this summer where the temperature was 100 in NC.
Never even reached it at all in Charlotte I believe. Its been an unusually mild summer.
