People searching for additional Federal grant money....
...NOAA scientist Craig Stow explains how [Lake Michigan's] seasons have moved.
"What we used to see down at 110 meters used to occur in say November. It's now occurring in January. That season has been pushed back several weeks," Stow said.
The warming isn't likely something you'd feel by sticking your hand in the water, but NOAA says it is significant.
The lake's depths have warmed .11 degrees Fahrenheit per decade for the last 30 years.
In total, a third of a degree....
So in about another 2-3 thousand years, the fish will be pre-boiled!
Or as many non-grant dependent scientists theorize, the next Maunder Minimum is here and that water will be a lot colder in 50-100 years.
Then the fish will be pre-frozen!
