This cartoon is about an effect of global warming that never occurred to me, the record low levels of water in Lakes Huron and Michigan. The other Great Lakes and the Mississippi River are also suffering from extremely low levels of water. It's already started to curtail barge traffic on the Mississippi and shipping on the Great Lakes.
Prepare yourselves, I think we will see many things, in the coming years because of climate change, that we would never have expected in our life times. Global Climate Change isn't just an inconvenient theory, it's here, now and we will suffer the consequences. The only question that remains is "Will we learn from the experience and change our behavior, our economy and our relationship with nature?" On that question the jury is still out.
Take a look at this post on CNN about the Great Lakes and the Mississippi, it's an eye opener.
So what do you think? Will we learn and if so what and when?
