Another from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:

Fifty years ago, global cooling was causing collapse of the Gulf Stream. Now. global warming is causing collapse of the Gulf Stream.

"Pack ice around Iceland is becoming a serious navigation hindrance to an extent unmatched since a "little ice age” in the 17th and 18th centuries.

England’s growing season has shortened a week to two weeks since 1950 and the Arctic ice and snow cap has expanded 12 per cent since 1964.

North Atlantic surface waters have been cooling for the last 30 years. The tepid Gulf Stream, a major warming influence on Western European weather, has retreated south about a sixth as far as it did at the height of the last full-fledged ice age, 20,000 years ago, according to ocean bed fossil records.”
