SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. (AP) - Crews are working to clear a path through ice on eastern Lake Superior that's left freighters unable to move, including one that had a hole punched in its hull.......The cargo shipping season started last month on the upper Great Lakes.

"The cargo shipping season started last month on the upper Great Lakes." Uh, apparently not.

That's 2 years in a row with a late start on great lakes shipping.

The man-caused global warming was so thick you could cut it with a chain saw.

The real question is where do they stand on gay marriage.

I got into an argument with some Leftist idiot on Facebook about global warming last night. I asked him what the Earth’s ideal temperature was. He wouldn’t answer the question and still insisted that global warming was real. I shot back by asking him global warming compared to what global temperature standard. Never heard a peep out of him after that.

There is still ice there in mid April...because the Earth is on fire.

I’ve only seen less than a handful of ships passing along the Lakeshore of Lake Huron in the past month. Anyone that is interested in knowing which ships are traveling can go here: http://www.boatnerd.com/ Under the vessel passage link on the left bar you can see a map that auto updates with the names of various ships sailing the Great Lakes.

Hey Jack. Toss this at them:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

That should cause cranial overload/overpressure.
