Will Climate Change Drain Lake Michigan?

Scientists predict bad things for Lake Michigan if temperatures in Chicago and Northwest Indiana continue to rise.

A report predicts in 2050 that rising temperatures could cause Lake Michigan’s water levels to plummet because of evaporation and diversion.

That concerns scientists behind a new report: “Climate Change and Great Lakes Water Resources.” The report predicts lake levels may drop by as much as 4.5 feet by 2050 as a result of less precipitation and more evaporation.
