Nautonnier: Of course warmer temps are good for human kind. That is one of the reasons that AGW pushers are afraid.

Doug, I've just posted on the Business Spectator:

good chart interesting that the last few years have had cool summer temps. is this an artifact of low sea ice is the question, just as the higher temps in the Arctic winter are largely a distortion from open unfrozen ocean as against very frigid ice temps in the dark nights of the winter. its my belief that this is a large part of the reported arctic regions warming as ice levels recede. the final question that worries me is the ice extent that's caused by persistent weather patterns as against cooling or warming in a macro sense. a lot of this will be answered by the cyclical return of ice extent in the next years. (if it happens and many have promised)

Well,Arctic ice is growing rapidly, exp. in Barents sea, where it is way ahead of normal. I noticed that for many years the Barents had very little ice cover and was slow to develop. I put this down to the years of warming (1980-2000) causing the North Atlantic current (continuation of the Gulf stream) to slow ice development in this area. So, if that current is now cooler, ice growth this year will be higher than for many years.
Also, from regular checks of WUWT's excellent ice page, I've noticed that ice drift down the Fram strait appears to have been much reduced.
So: Combine (1) More multi-year ice at the start of the season (2) less ice loss down the Fram strait. (3) Colder? North Atlantic current
and the ice growth should be worth watching!
And on a personal note: My wife's MS is relatively stable. My cooking has improved, and with greater efficiency at meal prep, I am starting to have more free time.
Regards to all the "old regulars"

Kiwi: Good to see you back. I hired a fellow to drive truck this fall. His Bro-in-law has MS. He was wheel chair bound. He started a diet developed by an MD who has MS. He is now using parallel bars and almost walking. Have you investigated this diet at all?

He is now using parallel bars and almost walking. Have you investigated this diet at all? Been following a very strict diet, and so far, the MS is stable, and my wife isn't in a wheelchair yet. MS research is difficult, due to the slow development and long term decline. Hopefully there will be solutions in the future.

Another welcome back from moi KSW. I have a friend who developed MS fairly early in life and is now well into her seventies and coping OK (with restrictions).

He is now using parallel bars and almost walking. Have you investigated this diet at all? Thanks so much Sigurdur. I did some research, and changed to this diet - it is actually a form of the Atkins/Paleo/Keto diet. Low carb, high fat. (we were on an older MS diet, quite different! exact opposite actually!!) I'm using a spreadsheet to design the meals, and we have been strictly following this diet for 4 days, tho have been on restricted carbs for two weeks. I have lost 3 kilograms since we started, even tho I am not following the diet strictly. Some notes: I will be using mainly omega 3 rich fish, Nuts, Avocado & lots of green leafy vege. Not going down the "Paleo" track of thick fatty steaks!! lol. Last night my wife had a BP reading of 185/120. She also has high BP, and this is her first normal reading I have seen. My BP machine has a 90x reading diary, so I can show progress to our MD when we next see her. I'll report on what happens over time. Many many thanks.
