An undated but clearly recent page at the National Wildlife Federation breathlessly warns readers, in a section entitled "Threats from Global Warming," that "Lake Erie water levels, already below average, could drop 4-5 feet by the end of this century, significantly altering shoreline habitat." A Thursday Huffington Post Canada Business entry observed that "the (Great Lakes) basin has experienced the longest extended period of lower water levels since the U.S. and Canada began tracking levels in 1918." Of course, it's because of "climate change."
Friday, Julie Bosman at the New York Times reported (HT Powerline) that "The International Joint Commission, a group with members from the United States and Canada that advises on water resources, completed a five-year study in April 2013 concluding that water levels in the lakes were likely to drop even farther, in part because of the lack of precipitation in recent years brought on by climate change." But the reason Bosman was on the story is because — fortunately for area residents, but unfortunately for "startled" global warming adherents claiming to be "scientists" — Great Lakes sea levels are rising again (bolds are mine throughout this post):

Canada Ping!
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm beginning think the Big Guy upstairs is toying around with these "enlightened" con men. Almost everything is breaking against them.
Vulgar Latin? Oh dear ....
The water rising is causing the lakes to lower because there’s more water going over Niagara Falls.
I’m guessing that they figure global warming (”heat”) somehow is related to droughts. Of course when a bunch of water is locked up in miles-thick sheets of ice - that is when you have a world wide lack of rain. Not just weather-related droughts.
“Niagara Falls!?”
Btw - lots of flooding in the Minneapolis area and elsewhere this year. Hitting the planting season hard too.

As a child we would float Minnehaha Creek on innertubes in the summer. Some spots would be even too low for an innertube and we would walk!
oh- you are soooooo wrong!
It is now called Climate Disruption
Get with the program!
LOL
Ya blink and the terminology changes. Such is the world of Climate Discombobulation Studies.
Obviously, global warming causes the water in the great lakes to flow downstream into the ocean. Only on odd years though.

But it’s summer! Bizarre scenes as ICEBERGS are spotted still floating in Lake Superior in the middle of June
Climate-Lock!!
Climate-Vacay
Climate-Funemployment...
never mind
Did you see that Flash? I made a funny!
So the oceans were supposed to rise but the lakes were supposed to drain???
