Ahhhh:Already read it. I'll leave it at I work in the area of Key Message 5.
So a vested interest in water management. Makes sense.

No insult was attempted, if this is going sideways, I'll have the thread locked, I honestly thought you didn't see the legend.
Yes, and those yellow areas cover most of the lakes in question, while Superior, which doesn't have any plants on its northern border, is clearly experiencing the biggest changes and is upstream from all of these other lakes. Yes, the plants are in the yellow section, but, as I said, that's most of the lake(s). It would be difficult for them not to be.

Subsequently, not seeing the "gotcha" you seem to think this is?
Again, that's almost the entire lake with Huron and Ontario. Yet there are no thermal plants on the northern shore of Superior, and it's clearly the most affected.
Perhaps all of the above. Superior is by far the biggest lake, and the source of most of the water for all of the others, so if it is getting warmer, that's going to have a trickle-down effect.
BB, you are not one of those that actually believed there was an ice age and the climate changed, the Earth warmed and the ice melted are you !!!True ^^^^^^
Used to be a extremely thick and massive ice sheet across that entire region, the upper US Midwest and upper part of the northeast US.
Cold times aka much shorter growing seasons, loss of crops to cold, loss of domesticated animals to cold weather, loss of acreage to cold weather conditions led to far harder times for people vs it being warmer than average for a long period of time.
Funny.... Precipitation changes.... That hilarious.... Don't think Lewis and Clark discovered lots of natives with rain gauges back in that time.
Real.... Real accurate temperature observations, hurricane information and measurements and rain measurements are exceedingly and exceptionally short in terms of just how old this planet is. Like it's practically... Hardly nothing
While our brief time of direct measurements is short, with our large changes in land use, and pollution, over population, the industrial age is on the scale of a large meteor strike, taking only 100's of years instead of an instant... Both are a blink in geologic time, but for people 100's of years is both short and long.True ^^^^^^

Compounding the problem is that many areas of the earth are still "underway" in their industrial revolution. Third world economies struggling to join the first world and going the same route as we did using FF's. China and India, while both with very ambitious nuclear programs, are still building coal capacity to keep pace with demand increases due to their emerging economies.While our brief time of direct measurements is short, with our large changes in land use, and pollution, over population, the industrial age is on the scale of a large meteor strike, taking only 100's of years instead of an instant...

I think some day, the belief or hope that humans aren't effecting the climate or planet in a huge way will be seen like the catholic church denying that the planets circle the sun... The only problem is that the longer we wait, the worse the situation becomes.
