This will be the hardest one. Great lakes at record levels.

Yeah, but you forgot how cold it was on January 3rd.

Or how cold it got in Baker Lake on the 5th.

Well, it's a good thing the other pole is seeing record sea ice!

Did Cleveland set the lakes on fire again

[DrCaleb]

No, that was Exxon.

Yes, and a few years ago they were at 'record' lows. Low water levels and high water levels are, of course, PROOF!!!!! of global warming. As I've said before, it must be nice to have a belief system that is proven by all evidence and disproven by none.

So what exactly does that 'prove'? Especially considering that exact trend was in the image I quoted.

Absuluetly no correlation between the two but I find it interesting the Dust Bowl (1930) and of the lake levels. Not trying to say anything just I find it interesting the Lakes where "High" in 1930 while the Western US was dealing with the dust bowl.

How much of the western watershed drains into the great lakes?

Whereas, how much drains into the Colorado River?

Also, having the Great lakes at an all time high level, right before spring thaw, is the problem I was thinking about.

[BartSimpson]

The thing is that the cycle of rise and fall in the lakes is NORMAL.

According to whom?

[BartSimpson]

It's like the tide. Occasionally there's a very high tide. But all the same, tides are normal.

So, all these people who have been living there all this time, and *pow* suddenly the water is so much higher than anyone has ever seen it, for just no real good reason that anyone can find.

Ok, seems legit.
