Anyone find an actual link to the gd map?
Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
Historic Graph of water levels in the Great Lakes. https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/
If you look at the historic levels its just random noise. No upward or downward trend. As usual Climate Change bunk.
America is turning into an old 50s science fiction “B” movie. Too much recreational drug use goin’ on out there.
What’s AOC going to say in 6.77 years when the world hasn’t ended like she has predicted?
They always give a date that's so far into the future, that by the time it actually gets to 2050, people will have forgotten about the prediction.
And they will then do it again, picking a date 25 years into the future.
Thought half the US was to be under water back in 2012. During Trump, demwits were salivating Mar-a-Lago would be under water at any moment.
I live in Indiana. I am hoping Lake Michigan tilts back west due to a heavier population so it doesn’t flood Indiana.
/sarc LOL
All that water will cause it to tip over and then what?!?
Lake Michigan is thousand of feet above sea level. The article is ridiculous.
There will soon be calls from lefties for more taxes, more regulations, more crack-downs on everyday activities to fight "climate change" - but that's the entire point, right?
Well here is the actual map:

Friggin morons at Newsweak can’t even include a damn link.
Scientists have created an interactive map.
Again hype and control button pushed again.
“Scientists” continue to make up “research” to “prove” what their paymasters want the outcome to be.
It is all about Marxism and control.
The whole area was once at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and the city of Blue Island is on a glacial moraine that was once an island in the lake. Sometimes Nature giveth, and sometimes Nature taketh away.
This is literally demented on so many levels. The lake levels vary up to a couple feet anyway, quite independent of any long term trends. And the notion that lake levels will just keep rising and rising is absurd because the lakes have an outlet - have these clowns never heard of Niagara falls?
Even if there was sustained heavier rain and snowfall in the water shed, who cares? It would be absolutely trivial to drain off some towards the Mississippi river (the watershed of which literally reaches Chicago city limits). Or the western states that are always clamoring for water to be sent their way from the Great Lakes could pay for just such a project.
File this under opportunities, not alarmism. Sheesh.
In a landlocked lake, excess water goes downstream one way or another. What dam is closing the Niagara river?
If such an increase in water happens, then the Niagara Falls gets more water, more erosion, and, for a while, more spectacular.
Then all the water goes to the sea.
If we don’t act now it will be too late again.
Just guessing, probably not near enough of Chicago would be (if this fantasy were somehow to come true) underwater.
Can we later arrest for fraud the “scientists” that make such wild predicitions, when the predictions fail to come true??? We ought to be able to.
