<p>Global Warming and the Great Lakes</p>
<p>Already, Lake Superior has increased water temperatures and an earlier onset of summer stratification by about two weeks in just the past 30 years. Within another 30 years <strong>Lake Superior may be mostly ice-free in a typical winter</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Lake Erie</strong> water levels, already below average, <strong>could drop 4-5 feet</strong> by the end of this century</p>

<p>Lake Superior obliterated all records for ice this year, and the water level in all of the Great Lakes is above normal.</p>
