A scraped rock (roche moutonee)--- there are hundreds of them in Central Park. These are all scraped, gouged, abraded in the same direction, the direction of a massively heavy ice flow.

You say that like it is a bad thing.
TRUMP controls the sun!
Nadler blocks the sun causing this....
Canada is toast.
To quote Tim Russert: “Florida Florida Florida”
The cooling is based on data not stupid computer models.
A leading Russian climatologist has stated that we are entering a Maunder Minimum which could last 300 years. Russia has much ag production to lose if that is the case.
Good thing our SUVs have caused global warming which should offset the cooling. Problem solved.
Ping.
No, I'm afraid this report isn't 'crying wolf'. The data has been confirmed by real climatologists and even astrophysicists going back a quarter century.
The impending cold era is what's called a grand solar minimum. These periods of intense cold occur about every 400 years and can last from thirty to seventy years.
The coming solar minimum even has an official name. It's called the Eddy Minimum, in honor of the climatologist who first predicted it.

Interesting that the author suggests that the “mini-Ice Age” will last only 30 years. The Little Ice Age (Maunder Minimum) lasted for about 300 years. Although I fully anticipate that there will be differing opinions, I understand that we are about 11,000 years into the latest inter-glacial period (read: warming period). Typically, glacial periods last about 100,000 years. Warming periods last between 10,000 and 15,000 years. This has been true for a very long time. So, we are on the downward slope toward a very cold period at any time.
There is good news. Man is adaptable. He can exist inside the Arctic Circle or in equatorial Africa. Just think of dressing in more layers. Also good news, I think I will hold on to my house in Palm Beach. As a previous FReeper wrote, I am looking forward to polar bear season in the Keys.
I’d just like to have winter in Houston. A real one. Not the fake one we laugh about like the Blizzard of 2017 followed by the great blizzard of 2018 (two days of freezing temps that cause the local media to go insane).
Yep. That was genuine global cooling. Then came global warming and the ice melted. That's how the Great Lakes were formed.
And it was all before coal fired plants and automobiles, too.
It's called "weather" and there's not a thing man can do about it.
Princeton Physicist explains why more carbon doesn't lead to very much more warming and why were actually in a carbon drought.
Move the decimal two places to the right—100,000.

International Falls is almost always the coldest spot in the USA, except when some other place has a record-breaking low temp.
FWIW, we are nearly 2 states further south and it was 54 last night. Nice, temperate summer day today, still with high humidity. I’m pretty sure (IIRC) this has been the summer pattern for a few years now.
2 weeks ago we were sweltering in 90s with high humidity and no wind.
Plus ça change.
I found that to be rather interesting.
