Well, Chicago does need more real estate.

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.

Too bad this guy isn't taking bets.

I guess global warming is the reason we had a record snowfall in Southwest Missouri this year and the reason that I had snow flurries here again today, April 8.

Actually this should all balance out -- remember the oceans are supposed to rise from the melting ice caps, so all that water can flow back in to the Great Lakes.

I guess if I were a pot smoker, I would be deeply saddened by this.

"We are conducting the largest experiment in human history ... (by) increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide and other (greenhouse) gases," Wuebbles said

...as the propellor on top of his beanie slowly spun in the hot gases emanating from his mouth.

The two-year study, "Confronting Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region: Impacts on our Communities and Ecosystems," was conducted by 13 scientists from universities in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Toronto, using advanced models of the Earth's climate system

What a friggin load of crap. Any scientist worth his salt knows these models are phoney propaganda machines.

I wonder if I can pre-buy land underneath the water???

my dad is shoveling two feet of their "global warming" off his drive way as we speak,
give it a rest.
Those countries that refuse to give their citizens the freedom to achieve, want to pull Americans down to their levels.

Keep in mind that just 15 years ago the libs were saying that global warming would flood the Great Lakes. My family has a cottage on Lake Michigan and it was almost swept into the lake at that time. But luckily the water receeded and is now much lower. But give it another 15 years and the water will be high again. Things kind of go in cycles.

I'm waiting to see what the Union of Unconcerned Scientists has to say before I make up my mind.

It has been in the 30's the last two days here in Virginia...global warming will have to wait!

[Havoc]

Sorry, but all this global warming bs is nothing more IMO than an excuse for democrats to give government handouts to irrelivant liberal whacked out nutjob friends of theirs. Defund the nutjobs and make them get a real job. Friggin wingnuts

The changes will lead to hot, dry summers and severe flooding in the winter and spring, the report, by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Ecological Society of America, predicts.

Well, considering the source is a full-blown leftist/socialist organization, I think I'll wait for a second opinion. The Union of Concerned Scientists has more sociologists and psychologists than it does people that have studied the physical sciences. Their goals aren't based on physics.

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!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

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?

[Jim Noble]

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.

[metalurgist]

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.

Needs to step out side in New York.

"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....
