Record High Great Lakes Water Level Expected to Climb Higher in 2020

I'm no denier. I accept the science.

What I do wonder, however, is why we've defaulted to blaming just about everything on "climate change" in the last year or so. Even if there isn't a clear link.

I can only imagine the headlines if an event like the Great Lakes Storm of 1913 occurred today. I can just about guarantee every story would make reference to, if not solely blame it, on climate change.

I'd say its because the mega-storms or similar events are no longer outliers. They are occurring all together too frequently. You can't have a "100 year storm" every few years and continue to call it a 100 year storm. Increasingly, what we considered to be the norm simply no longer is.

As bad as the Lake Mead water level is, at least its up a bit from the past several years at this time.
