Nothing like anecdotal 'evidence'.
Anecdotal Evidence
Great Lakes ice cover 13 percent higher than last year
Another benefit of climate change and increased CO2 – trees continue to grow at a faster rate
if you recall, last winter’s ice cover on the Great Lakes climbed to the second highest on record at 92.2 percent on March 6, 2014. That was due to the below-average temperatures that persisted from mid-January onward in the winter of 2014. ”

Where's Al Gore, I want my money back.
Seriously where is he?!
Earth is stable, sun is stable, nature is stable, the universe will always be like clockwork, undisturbed.
Humanity however, very unstable.

Is there any neutral source to confirm the statements of the article?

The billions of tax dollars that were dumped into the "green" companies was wasted as all have either went bankrupt or are very close. Thanks Obama.
So you are telling us that you were being sarcastic with that post?
I am confused by your postings.

Oh look an article quoting writer from Forbes - a notoriously anti-climate change even happening source. Good job.
The Earth has warmed modestly since the Little Ice Age ended a little over 100 years ago, and the Earth will likely continue to warm modestly as a result of natural and human factors. As a result, at some point in time, NASA satellite instruments should begin to report a modest retreat of polar ice caps. The modest retreat – like that which happened briefly from 2005 through 2012 – would not be proof or evidence of a global warming crisis. Such a retreat would merely illustrate that global temperatures are continuing their gradual recovery from the Little Ice Age. Such a recovery – despite alarmist claims to the contrary – would not be uniformly or even on balance detrimental to human health and welfare. Instead, an avalanche of scientific evidence indicates recently warming temperatures have significantly improved human health and welfare, just as warming temperatures have always done.

From the "Forbes" article:

Did you even read the entire article? Any of it?
Ignorance passed off as an intelligent comment on the "Forbes" story - pathetic.
What I find amusing is that you are trying to disprove a story reporting on bad data about polar ice caps by posting graphs that most likely derived its information from the aforementioned bad data. Which logical fallacy to I choose, here?
Of course, that's assuming this story is correct. I'm not prepared to make that assumption, but I'm also not prepared to ideologically discard it, either.

I participate in the ice patrols monitoring ice flow off Canada every year, went to Greenland last year too. There has been very little ice loss.
Arctic sea ice extent for April 2015 averaged 14.0 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), the second lowest April ice extent in the satellite record.

Some people get so caught up in proclaiming humans as evil and destroying Mother Earth Gaia they do not look at al the facts.

Please explain why Florida is getting ready to spend untold millions of dollars to reinforce its coastline to protect cities from rising sea level, and how this situation is the number one concern for the people and local governments?

Well this in itself is a fact. Humans are as a whole evil, we elect or allow evil to rule over us and we destroy nature in every possible way anyone who does not know this by now is dead or so stupid they can't understand anything!
