THE GREAT LAKES WATER LEVELS ARE RISING, AND DRASTICALLY
Great Lakes vs. climate change ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Go back a year and you can find a lot of us great lakes area FReepers predicting the lake levels would rise in the next year or so.
Way above average rainfall in the summer of 2013 followed by heavy ice cover that prevented evaporation over the winter followed but lots of rain this summer.
Lake Superior surface water about 5 degrees C below average...

There’s “experts” and there’s those who know what they’re doing. Trouble is, too many listen to the “experts” no matter how many times they’re wrong and despite how wrong they tend to be.
I live not to far from Lake Ontario and it seems the healthiest (in water lever and water quality) it has been in years.
1. Record winter snowfall. Detroit got the equivalent of 7 feet of snow in the winter of 2013-2014, the most since 1885.
2. Record cold. All the lakes except Ontario froze over this winter, with ice on Superior not completely disappearing until mid June. This reduced the amount of evaporation fom the lakes.
3. Cold, wet spring.
4. Col, wet summer.
Put all these together and you have the recipe for rising lake levels. Of course this doesn't fit in with the medias narrative of global warming so just ignore the above facts, shall we?

For the past 20 years the climate has defied the “Climate Experts.”
It must be frustrating to be an expert that is always wrong.
What they won’t tell you is that the land around and under the great lakes is still “rebounding” from the weight of the glacial ice sheet that covered the region during the last ice age, roughly 12,000 years ago. Those same glaciers carved out the current great lakes, and then filled them with water.
So, the water level will always change, due to something we call “the weather”, and hope that Canada doesn’t call up Michigan, and tell them that they want their chunk of Ontario back, because that would be a whole lot of gravel to move.
Nutty environmentalists are in luck - the MSM will 'miss' this story...

The climate experts keep proving they inexpert at understanding the totality of the dynamics, and the variables within the dynamics, of weather or climate.
climate “scientists” have managed to correctly estimate the magnitude of change but not the direction...
I thought Obama exempted the Great Lakes from Climate Change ?
Wow this global warming stuff can do anything...
I bet soon we will see stories of how flooding along the Great Lakes is due to Global Warming...
