Here's a very interesting side point to large bodies of water drying up.
If the Stait of Gibralta were to be blocked the Mediterranean Sea would dry up!

Wouldn't that make them the "Not So Great Lakes?"
I wonder if they're already taking reservations for the "Edmund Fitzgerald Restaurant?"
So will lake effect snow now be called mud hole effect snow?

Global warming is junk science.

I heard that the Straits of Gibraltar are being ran off by the Gays of Gibraltar.

It snowed October 24 here in Central NH.
It snowed today. It was 14 degrees yesterday AM when I walked the dog.
Global warming can't get here soon enough.

Well, Chicago does need more real estate. Lots of prime land, millions to be made, when Lake Michigan goes dry. Property values on Lake Shore Dr. drop though.

Well, since they can predict what the weather will be like thirty years from now it should be easy to tell me what the weather will be like on April 17th in south-western Pennsylvania.
This story is male bovine excrement.

"The Great Lakes states will look more like parts of the South and Southwest by the end of the century as a result of global warming, a report released Tuesday concludes."I'm pissing myself laughing at this article! I live within 50 miles of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior. My primary area of interest is Superior, and I'm here to tel you that Superior's shoreline will NEVER resemble the south. It's a matter of volume, and the lower lakes also follow suit. This article is unmitigated bullshit....

Wuebbles said looking at core ice and soil samples going back 1,000 years, there's no question the climate globally is warmer now than in any previous era. "Wuebbles wobble, but they don't fall down." ... for those of you old enough to remember that commercial.
"Any previous era" applies to BEFORE 1000 years ago. In fact, according to my very outdated dictionary, an era is "a division of geological history of highest rank." The dictionary gives durations of eras as anywhere from 1 to 75 million years.
Small data samples over a short period of time corrupt the experiment.

They should complain to "Mother Nature". She is, after all, the sole arbitor of all things natural. We, as mere humans can act as a gnats flatulance in a hurricane w/ regard to things ecological.

Were the Great Lakes dry during the Medieval years?

Even if this garbage were so, it would only mean that more moisture would be evaproated from the oceans increasing the amount of rainfall. The temperate and tropical zones would shift farther from the equator. We could have palm trees in Montana and Siberia. It all balances out.

Probably higher levels than today. Study the massive Lake Agassiz (remenants of Lake Winnipeg and surrounding lakes, including Lake of the Woods in Minnesota), which was larger than any modern great lake today. It takes a long time for a large lake to 'dry up', let along 5 of them.

Here's a picture of the dried up lake.

Ooops, I can hear the demand for more federal funding because we're facing a disaster in the next 1,000 years. Maybe Hans Blix will listen to them. He seems to be out of a job right now and he is more concerned about global warming.

My Daddy predicted this 40 years ago. He told me the South would rise again.
