Rising waters threaten Great Lakes communities

by Alex Brown
 

Along a shoreline that stretches farther than the combined length of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, waters driven by climate change have risen as much as 6 feet in less than a decade, washing away houses, destroying roads and threatening critical infrastructure such as water treatment plants in towns large and small.

The ongoing disaster striking the coastal communities of the Great Lakes hasn't captured national attention like hurricanes and wildfires in other parts of the country. But from Duluth to Chicago to Cleveland to Buffalo, leaders are reeling from untold billions in damage - and the prospect that climate change will make things worse in the years to come.

The same thing happened about 30 years ago when high Great Lakes levels were damaging property along the lakes.  About 5-10 years ago the Great Lakes, according to "scientists" were drying up due to "climate change."  Now here they are again, damaging homes and property because the water is so high due to "climate change." :shrug:
