The Lake Michigan and Huron water level IS CONTROLLED. Yes, by US Army Corp of Engineers in conjunction with Canadians at the Joint Commission. When economy is good, we lift the level for ore boats. When recession hits, we lower to gain tourists.
@@roarroar4316 rake the forest yep they control the water bc it goes back into the ocean but those cold alligator so lakes freeze over and all but the nose is covered but still alive
Humans can't control nature lol humans really think their gods lol. This we lose against nature consistently and continue to think we can control nature.
Um yes they can its called haarp d.e.w weather modification machines that along with engineering you can demolish countries weather warfare there using it now matter of fact Saudi Arabia recently came out and they claimed to use it but it ended up flooding so its no conspiracy what is sad people are dead asleep
1987 news headline “Chicago in danger of being flooded by Lake Michigan”. 1997 news headline “Lake Michigan at near record low level, will we run out of water?”. Throughout history Lake Michigan has fluctuated, with it being at the extremes every ten or fifteen years.
@@justdrive5327 California needs to build desalination plants,allowing them to drink from the Pacific Ocean, but politicians from both major parties and the media pretend that desalination plants don’t exist because they don’t want to spend the money to build them.
I will tell you this, in the past 4 decades Lake Michigan water levels dropped significantly and rebounded over time. Nobody is really talking about it. It's a non issue.
@@TikTokForest we lost our Lake Michigan Beach front home because of these record levels. We built way back in the 60s and since then rising has come and gone. However now its now completley taken the property. Levels are not the norms.
Hmm. It's almost as if they forgot that the flow of this lake into the other Great Lakes and then the ocean is controlled. They also neglected to mention how much the lake is rising. Inches, feet, yards? No? No measurement? Funny, that. No actual fact; just anecdotes.
LET THE WATER OUT OF LAKE MICHIGAN. This is a managed waterway. The only reason it is overflowing if because they cut off the water flowing out of the lake.
Planting ten thousand trees around Chicago won't do much to offset the massive carbon-belching coal-fired power plants being operated non-stop in China and India except for a mention on page six in the newspapers.
Exactly. The east will benefit financially from selling the free water, the country will benefit financially from better reliability and productivity, also the environment will benefit substantially. There is no disadvantage to a water pipeline. Just politics is holding things back, as always.
@Neon Tygers The west is largely arid and desert, tree planting is no good as trees will take decades and will likely die due to the dry conditions. Nobody is saying drain aquifers or pristine rivers. Only excess water would be piped to the west, overflow from the great lakes, storm runoff from the Mississippi extra rather than leaving it all run back into the sea. It would also help mitigate flooding issues in the east, especially the Mississippi. Yes, the west should be more water cautious and less wasteful but water pipelines from areas with excess water to areas that are dry is a no brainer.
The solution to your problem is large desalination plants,so that you can drink from the Pacific,but none of your politicians from either party nor the media will mention that. They pretend that desalination plants don’t exist.
@@boataxe4605 Desalination would be appropriate for California, but that doesn't solve water needs for southern Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. They could probably use some of the Midwestern water, but water is very heavy and expensive to pump over long distances, particularly if it's being pumped uphill.
Idiotic and late. Maybe they should add some data. The lake level is down 18” since last year and predicted to go lower. See Army Corp of Engineers data rather than alarmist news media. Levels go up and down regularly and are doing it again. In 2012 the lake was going to dry up due to climate change. A memory would help this story.
Hey I know, let's build mega cities right on the EDGE of the great lakes and oceans. LMAO. What could go wrong?? Just look at ancient history. There are statues underneath 30 ft of water.
The water level in a sense is not rising. The term used by geologists is 'snapback'. The Great Lakes were formed by a glacier. Partly the lakes were gouged and the weight of the glacier depressed the mantle of the Earth. If the waters were truly rising, then the depth of the lake would increase not decrease. The bottom of the lake is moving upwards causing the same volume of water to become higher. Is it a problem, YES. Is it caused by climate change or global warming, NO. Is it common to all the Great Lakes, YES.
Building water pipeline towards west Nevada, Utah etc and problem will be resolved, this investment is maybe huge but resolved problem for great lakes states and thirsty state on west.
Who should pay for those water pipelines? The people who need it or the people that don't. If the people who need the water don't want to pay for it then, it's not be much of an emergency.
@@cincin0722 Why should I pay when I don't need the water? If those who need the water don't want to pay for it then move out from where you are living. Me paying for idiots to live in a desert is unreasonable.
@@ajkendro3413 who said that they didn't want to pay for it I just made this s*** up you act like it's something real I'm not going to sit here and argue with a selfish person anyway

All temperatures in Fahrenheit. August 6th 1922. According to the United States weather bureau at Fort Yukon, north of the Arctic Circle. The high temperature that day reached 100°. Chicago’s Temperature Records 100 degrees or greater recorded in Chicago-from 1887 to 1934. Date Temperature July 16, 1887 100° Atmospheric CO2 ice core 291ppm. July 17, 1887 100° July 10, 1901 102° July 21, 1901 103° July 3, 1911 100° July 4, 1911 102° July 5, 1911 102° July 27, 1916 100° July 30, 1916 102° August 5, 1918 102° August 6, 1918 101° August 12, 1918 101° July 19, 1930 101° June 7, 1933 100° June 27, 1933 100° June 1, 1934 102° July 22, 1934 101° July 24, 1934 105° Atmospheric CO2 ice core 310 ppm. The hottest day I could find in 2021 for Chicago was in August where it was 90, they don't make it easy.
Interesting watching a story about alarming rising water levels on a lake or a river in Michigan right after watching the opposite scenario unfold in Arizona on the Colorado river.
Chicago was built on wetlands, marshes and landfill. Yet another reason as to why wetlands should never be used for development. But hey, people still build near volcano's and coastal areas.
I don't get it.. we can create oil pipelines across states and counties but not water pipelines to Arizona, Utah, southern California, parts of Texas and anywhere else
The best mitigation is creating wetlands(as in swamps) along the lake front. If we recreate these wetlands by artificial floating islands we would be able to keep the lake and the river clean to insure our survival. These wetlands would help us keep our fish stock, prevent soil erosion, remove pollutants and insure that our region has freshwater for the next generation. We desperately need to slow down how much waste water gets dumped into that lake or else we’ll end up with toxic algae blooms-it’s not only the coasts that will be affected by climate change. The city needs to be a pioneer in the Americas by making sure that future developments have sustainability in mind.
No……….whoever built too close is in danger………….they have ceo making hundreds of thousands a year……………..and then………..they have to turn around and ask the Corp of engineers who exist with our tax dollars to create a GREENER plan to this problem…………greener………..really……….it’s just more corporate friendly what you are looking for………..
I dont understand why are Governments doesn't think out of the box to save lives. If lake Mead is going dry and this 1 is about to spill over ,why not do a above removable water pipe line and pump water in to lake Mead or using pump trucks solving 2 problems. Sure some say the cost ,but I'm sure the cost of transferring water is going to be way cheaper then the disaster is going to cause if they dont think fast.
Yep. Great minds like yours and mine think alike. I just suggested the exact same thing. In times of rising very high Lake Michigan water levels, let's ship our fresh water to draught stricken areas in the USA South West. Help fire plagued areas of California. Why not?
Wow we need a big ass boat or sell some water to Texas it's 8 bucks a bottle imagine all the people that could be warm fed and have affordable housing prices.. What a potential blessing and we could live our neighbors who share the pond.. Bam problems solved..
If we're so technological why couldn't we just build water tunnels with filtration system and gas station sized containers underground to be reroutable across the United States with main shut off valves from each direction it leads to. This should effectively fix our water issues and allow new cities to be born and implement water conservation technology to help us have the best quality with minimal water usage across all appliances such as showers, washers, sinks, pools, etc.
Because we spend money on overly expensive defense projects and heavily corrupted social programs. We don’t have innovative thought in our development and infrastructure design in our country because we don’t have money in it.
We need ideas and innovative people like you to fix this. Unfortunately, the government is using this crisis to enrich the wealthy and corporate America. The money isn’t going to people who can solve this problem. The government thinks by throwing money at the problem it will just go away. We need to come up with plans, study the problem. There isn’t enough talk about how to fix it, just printing more money out of thin air and hope the problem goes away and get rich along the way. When financial media reports global warming, there is a hidden agenda.

Homicide rates include everything both justified and unjustified, self defense and unintentional killings that don't result in a murder change. The murder rate for each group is actually much lower.
