Hottest on record? Didnt the lakes have a record ice cover? I’m trying to reconcile those two items, if in fact the former is true.
“Though the past winter was the hottest on record,...”
That preface has nothing to do with the point of the article. It’s like when the Muzzies have to say “pboh” every time they bring up something citing their prophet authority. The Greenie editors of this magazine probably require it in every article in order to get published.

Keep in mind too that “scientists” who work for the US government are now Political Scientists, that is scientists who’s politics impact their science.
It is a ghost ship on The Gitche Gumee.
Well, the cleaning up of Lake Erie was one of the few positive effects of the environmental movement.........No one can argue that Lake Erie wasn't indeed a cesspool back then.........
I broke in half and sank in lake Superior.
It was an iron ore carrier. Some think that the hatch covers came loose from the pounding of the wind driven waves. That allowed water to enter the ore holds and cause the ship to ride lower in the water. It is thought that the ship bottomed out on a shallow reef damaging the keel. It continued toward deeper water where swells lifted the bow and stern, exposing the damaged keel which snapped in two. The ship sank so fast they couldn't even get off a distress call to a nearby ship. The second ship reported that they had the Edmond Fitz on radar and the next sweep it was gone. There were no survivors.
Divers have visited the deep water grave to retrieve the ship's bell for a memorial service. They left a copy on the wreck. I'm not sure but I believe that to be the only visit by divers.
Lake Superior is very deep and very cold. I know because I used to vacation in the UP. I have swam in Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Michigan all in the same day. It's really fun to swim in 42 degree water when the air is around 90 degrees.

I hope Lakeshark is on your MI Ping List.
But if you’re a Climate Scientologist, you just make stuff up.
Thanks cripplecreek.
The clear water isn’t good but doesn’t have anything to do with global warming.
Zebra mussels are eating the plankton that forms the bottom of the food chain.
It was pretty damn cold this winter here. BS if it was hottest on record.
Whoops, that was the wrong topic. Thanks fieldmarshaldj!
in 2012 we practically didn’t have winter.
“The typical modern scientist is now a pathological liar.”
Now, I grant you, the study of climatology is unfortunately overrun with ideologically-driven scientist who put political groupthought above scientific principals, but to paint all ‘typical modern scientists’ with the broad ‘pathological liar’ brush is a little extreme...I’m a polymer chemist that works in a lab populated by like-minded, conservative scientist, and we don’t make money (or have careers) if we were lie to our customers...
That depends on where you were.
It wasn't around Lake Michigan.
Rib Lake is my dads home town.Great place..have
a Wal-Mart now...getting big.
Gonna send that photo to family there.
Sure they will laugh seeing it.
Hottest winter on record...With back to back ice cover exceeding 80% on the Great Lakes for the 1st time since the 70’s...
And the water where the wreck is located is still 38 degrees F.
I use to bath in Lake Michigan it doesn’t appear to have hurt it.
At the bottom of Lake Superior
Maybe the author was here in SoCal and never turned on a radio, tv or read a newspaper and assumed the rest of the country was the same, Lord now that the statement he made is asinine, yet so PC for the globull warmers.
