While ice fishing is still going on in some parts of Minnesota, other parts are having what looks like glacier advance in the back yards that is damaging some homes.
As for climate change worries, you can always figure out ways to keep cool, but getting out of the way of an advancing glacier is no easy task as this video shows. Watch this video of what happens in an “ice out” from the nearby lake Mille Lacs, you can actually watch the ice advance. In a matter of minutes the wind pushes the ice about 15 feet from the shore to the doors and windows of lakeside homes.
While this isn’t the same mechanism as ice-age type glaciation, it is fascinating to watch.

I call this ice tectonics. Now imagine this in the Arctic. The past few years there have been enormous pile ups in the 20 – 50W longitudes of the Arctic shore. I wonder how many “average ice thickness” studies account for this?

Despite even more studies since 2002 from around the world, ie actual physical evidence, that the LIA was global, Mann still refuses to behave like a scientist.

Wow! Excellent description. Thank you.
Looks like things are a lot worse than this video would show: 12 houses destroyed by this so far
