Largest glaciers in Iceland growing for first time in decades

Very much doubt if WaPo, NYT, Guardian or BBC will report this remarkable event.

First year in a century that Icelandic glaciers did not lose ice.

In past years, Vatnajökhul and Langjoökull glaciers have lost about 1.5 meters of ice each year, measured autumn to autumn. This year, they did not deteriorate.

Hofsjōkull has grown slightly, while Mýrdalsjōkull “has a really significant addition.”

These are the largest glaciers in Iceland. Hofsjökull is the third largest glacier in Iceland after Vatnajökull and Langjökull, while Mýrdalsjōkull is the country’s fourth largest ice cap.

Iceland’s glaciers are growing because we are headed into a Grand Solar Minimum, says Christian of Ice Age Farmer. “Record colds, record snows, record crop failures, and increasing glaciation: all portend the end not just of the Global Warming hoax, but potentially of our way of life. Prepare now.”

“Modern agriculture is not and cannot tolerate these changes,” says Christian. (I agree.)

However, glacier expert Finnur insists that even though “it has been rather colder the past few years,” there is no reason to doubt global warming. (I love that: No reason to doubt global warming even though it has been colder.)

"Felix is not affiliated with any university, scientific establishment, or corporation, and therein lies his strength. Untainted by institutional bias or conventional wisdom this architect turned author brings fresh insight to the study of the ice ages."


I love how this article has two proponents of whatever BS they are peddling and only use first names. Here's why? ^^^^

The ice age is coming! The ice age is coming! Just ignore all the science, scientists and the 150 year rise in average global temps!

What will happen during a new Maunder Minimum?

According to the latest IPCC report, AR5, the influence of the sun on our climate since pre-industrial times, in terms of radiative forcing, is very small compared to the effect of greenhouse gases.

According to some more skeptical scientists such a small solar influence is counterintuitive. The Little Ice Age, the period roughly from 1350 to 1850, in which winters on the Northern Hemisphere could be severe and glaciers advanced, coincided with the so-called Maunder Minimum, a period of supposedly low solar activity. In their eyes, the sun therefore still is a serious candidate to also explain a substantial part of the warming since pre-industrial times.

Sunspot records since 1600 suggest there has been a considerable increase in solar activity in the 20th century leading to a Grand Solar Maximum or Modern Maximum. However recently these sunspot records have come under increasing scrutiny and newer reconstructions show a much ‘flatter’ sunspot history. This challenges the idea of a Modern Maximum.

The current solar cycle 24 is the lowest sunspot cycle in 100 years and the third in a trend of diminishing sunspot cycles. Solar physicists expect cycle 25 to be even smaller than Cycle 24 and expect the sun to move into a new minimum, comparable with the Dalton or even the Maunder Minimum. Studying such a minimum with modern instruments could potentially answer a lot of the questions surrounding the influence of the sun on our climate.

We are very pleased that no fewer than five (solar) scientists have agreed to participate in this exciting new Climate Dialogue: Mike Lockwood (UK), Nicola Scafetta (US), Jan-Erik Solheim (NO), José Vaquero (ES) and Ilya Usoskin (FI).

The introduction and guest posts can be read online below. For convenience we also provide pdf’s:

Haw, haw..........haw.
 
You should have seen the piles of Snow on the sides of my driveway just one week ago ...

Yesterday I was raking leaves ...

Illinois weather ... if you don't like it, wait a day.

Re: the source of your OP:

IceAgeNow

Background

IceAgeNow is a website originally located at iceagenow.com and now iceagenow.info. It describes itself as “a Web site dedicated to showing that our climate is driven by natural cycles, not by humans” that fears that “one of those cycles – the Milankovitch Cycle – is leading us into the next ice age right now” and that “this nonsense about 'global warming' will leave us blindsided and unprepared. [1]

IceAgeNow regularly publishes articles skeptical of climate change by its author, and sole employee, Robert Felix — a former architect. George Monbiot at The Guardian describes IceAgeNow as primarily serving to promote Felix's book about the “coming ice age.” Monbiot says that Felix selectively picks evidence in his attempt to disprove man-made global warming. [18], [2]

“Is Felix a climatologist, a volcanologist or an oceanographer?” Monbiot asks. “Er, none of the above. His biography describes him as a 'former architect'. His website is so bonkers that I thought at first it was a spoof. Sadly, he appears to believe what he says.”

As the title of the website suggests, IceAgeNow regularly posts articles suggesting the possibility of global cooling. It often posts articles on localized weather events like low temperatures and snowfalls, implying that these are signs of global cooling. Skeptical Science has a comprehensive article on global cooling here.

Not by Fire but by Ice

Robert Felix uses his website to promote his books Not by Fire but by Ice (Sugarhouse Publishing, 2000) and Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps. His general theory is that the reversal of the poles will lead to environmental changes and a coming ice age. [6], [7]

IceAgeNow publishes “news” related to climate change skepticism and documenting heavy snowfalls and instances of cool temperatures as evidence for our descent into another ice age. In 2015, it also began promoting presidential candidate Donald Trump's positions on climate change and the EPA, as well as those of other conservative politicians such as Ted Cruz who has described climate change as a “religion.” For example: [5]

October 30, 2015: Trump vows to cut funding for EPA
October 29, 2016: “This is why the American people don’t trust the media” – Thank you Ted Cruz!
October 28, 2015: Trump – ‘We could use a big fat dose of global warming’
October 27, 2015: Trump on climate change – Video
October 26, 2015: Where do candidates stand on global warming?
Stance on Climate Change
March 2009

IceAgeNow described itself in a pamphlet for the Heartland Institute's Second International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC2):

“[O]ur climate is driven by natural cycles, not by humans. We fear that one of those cycles – the Milankovitch Cycle – is leading us into the next ice age right now. We also fear that this nonsense about 'global warming' will leave us blindsided and unprepared.” [1]

Funding

Funding details are not available for IceAgeNow, however appears the website's primary purpose is to sell Robert Felix's book and DVD, Not by Fire but by Ice.

Key People

Robert Felix appears to be the only employee of IceAgeNow.

According to WHOIS records, he registered the domain iceagenow.info on July 24, 2011. The previous website, IceAgeNow.com, was originally created on April 29, 2002. [3], [4]
