I'm not quite sure what to think about this one quite yet. But the story has been circulating, and several people have pointed it out to me - so I'd like to at least share it with the readership.
Recently, someone noticed that the collaborative NOAA/Michigan-State Great Lakes "Coastal Watch" environmental program had produced some interesting maps of water temperature data for Lake Michigan. This was pointed out to John O'Sullivan, the very able British-American journalist who set up the "Climate Change Fraud" web site in the wake of the Climategate scandal.
Interestingly, as soon as John wrote about this topic, the map disappeared off the Michigan State web site that had been hosting it.
But fortunately, someone had the presence of mind to save a copy of the file - and you can find it here.
If you open that map and zoom in, you'll immediately be struck by the very bizarre water temperatures reported therein.
More below the fold.

Shows just how bright the self-proclaimed 'intellectuals' really are. Ike lived a life of serious accomplishment yet always remained a humble man who did not in the least care what his detractors said or thought about him. He always preferred to let them underestimate him while he focused entirely on achieving his objective.
So, obviously, Lake Michigan is invisible.
Quite.
In case you didn’t catch it, I was just being sarcastic with that “boiling water on the stove” analogy :D
Below the chart is a notation that each contour line represents a 1 degree F change in temperature.
My theory is that the contour lines completely obscure the map, so it's impossible to tell whether the area is cloudy or intensely contoured.
At least 600 contour lines in a fairly restricted map area would blunk some of the detail. / (some sarcasm involved)
