Jimbo Limbo · Top Commenter · The University of Texas at AustinShhhh! It's "climate change" now, so it covers both ways. There's no way to prove a negative, so we can call everyone who denies that man controls the weather a "denier," and the government grants will keep rolling in- hot or cold! If they ever catch on, we'll travel from city to city, offering to repair roofs. Start the repairs, cash the check, vroom. We can even give people fake lotto tickets to cash, in return for checks... there's a million ways to con the public, if they ever catch on to this one. [This speech is a parody of a proposal to con the public, as AGW is a parody of science]
Peter Kuck · Top Commenter
Richard Spooner · Top CommenterAs far as I can tell, the narrative is as follows. First we had global warming predictions that did not come true, despite pervasive fraud in the data published by the zealots. So they changed the name to the ridiculous "climate change", fo which they should have been laughed off the stage of public discourse. Then when we hav one of the coldest winters on record, they blame it on the earlier miniscule, if any, global warming (even though they had abandoned that term). And now they are predicting a cooler spring than normal because of the severe cold that was caused by global warming. Meanwhile, the sun is in a cycle of low activity, a fact that the global warming cult seem to ignore or heavily discount. But we doubters of man made global warming are the idiot deniers? Right.

Jim Temple · Top CommenterAh, but one of the variables is the path of the jet stream and how it drags airflow across the country. If it's more North and South, it could keep things cooler, because of the lakes. If it's more west to east, it may bypass the lakes for a lot of the country and make it a little warmer. It will be interesting to see what happens.
There's more to climate than a cold lake and a heck of a lot more than CO2 emissions.

This is part of the miracle that is water and the turning of large bodies of water. Could we end up with a great lake with a screwed up thermocline, perhaps. But by then the Sun will be in full gear again kicking out solar flares.
I accepted no government grants to provide you this true information on how cycles work. 
Michael Tims · Top Commenter · Works at Happily RetiredThe frozen Great Lakes are causing a political crisis in Canada. Heretofore untold numbers of inhabitants of "Canada's basement" are brazenly crossing into the Dominion. NDP party apparatchiks have been spotted meeting the invaders with snowmobiles bearing Hudson's Bay blankets, hot beaver tails and poutine. Conservative party observers denounce this as an effort to swell the ranks of "undocumented New Democrats" and vow to use secret Canadian technology to restore the lakes to a liquid state. NDP officials deny any part in the affair, but a reporter for the Toronto Star claimed that an NDP office had ordered a mass printing of "The Newcomers Guide to Hockey". Further reports as events unfold.
Giovanni CrescenziWell they had a fifty fifty chance of being correct about global warming, maybe they will have better luck predicting the next crisis.
Dan McJuryHere in Buffalo, at the mouth of the Niagara River, the NY State Power Authority installs the "ice boom" every year to control the movement of ice from Lake Erie into the Niagara River and downstream towards the power plants on both the US and Canadian sides. The purpose is to prevent damage to the hydroelectric facilities of both countries. For years the local populace has blamed this retention of lake ice in the eastern Lake Erie basin as the cause of cool springs and the delayed arrival of summer only to be assured by both the Power Authority and the National Weather Service that "It's all in our heads". The retention of ice behind the ice boom has no effect on the local climate in western NY, so it's interesting to see you postulate that the extensive ice cover on Superior will result in a cooler summer. Seems like you believe that ice cover will effect the local climate.
Bill Ross · Top Commenter · Thermal hydraulics specialist at CANDU Energythe ice boom in Buffalo only creates a small region of ice with area less than 5% of the ice coverage of a completely frozen lake superior. and lake erie warms up much faster once the ice is gone compared to superior. therefore, there is no valid comparison between the two regions.
Michael Lesich · Follow · Top CommenterOn a story about Lake Superior you posted a picture of the St. Clair River, which is 500 miles away. Might as well have posted a picture of the Hudson River.
Charles Wren · Top Commenter · Works at Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass CommunicationDue to Global Warming Doublespeak there will be Record Ice on Lake Superior, and Summer will be cooler.
