They’ll now call it “Great Lakes Water Level Change”.
Yes, but back then we were not shipping from docks that had been left high and dry by the lowering of the water level.
How about when the lakes are low we don't sell bottled water outside the state and when they are high we do?
Or is that too logical?
Lake Michigan is three miles up the street. The level changes regularly. As a child, I remember the same.
I read not too long ago that the lakes are rising due to gravity, not weather. With the weight of the glaciers removed from the land, it is gradually rising back up.
Guess I missed the water sloshing around the lyin’ king’s knees when he was out there destroying the Everglades yesterday. Of course due to climate discombobulation. And the UPOS keep buying it. Proof positive that there are a WHOLE lot of ignorant people out there. (Don’t worry about AF-1 and the fuel burned. I hear he got a discount from the chief goron and renowned climatologist to buy some carbon credit offsets)
THE reason that Lake Michigan is because the Chicago City Patriarchy, reversed the flow of the Chicago River to flow FROM Lake Michigan into a canal that links it with the Mississippi River. Without that manmade channel, the Chicago River would naturally flow into Lake Michigan, thus making it higher.
And yes, I know this has only a minor affect in reality. Figured some semi-sarcasm was appropriate.
There!
I’m peeing in the river more these days.
The great lakes water level has been changing ever since the MILE HIGH ice sheet melted away several thousand years ago.
They consist of Lake levels taken by Charles H. Strowger, a local land surveyor, at bench marks in the area of Nine Mile Point on Lake Ontario.
These are taken in the spring and related to his love of fishing.
His conclusion: The elevations "show an irregularity in the rising and falling of the waters at the points selected for observation."
Please remember that the Great Lake levels are manipulated by the government.
I lived in Western NY and experienced a few minor earthquakes during my 20 years there. I was told the same thing was responsible for the earthquakes as what you read about the water levels.
Just how much bottled water do you think Michigan exports?
Lake Superior is still below the last five year average temperature, which combined with the above average ice cover, restricts evaporation.
Last year on NPR they blamed the algae bloom near Toledo on global warming. Not mentioned - the Great Lakes were coolest they’ve been in forty years.
“Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm seized the issue and made it her own.”
She seized a bullshit non-issue and tried to make it everybody else’s problem.
Global Cooling
Global Warming
Climate Change
Whatever
Do we get to implement Socialism now?
Millions of gallons but that’s a still a drop in the bucket.
Yes, I know it was a "drop in the bucket" but when the lakes are as low as they were every drop does count.
