Duluth Makes National News!

Last night Duluth made the NBC evening news. There was a report about Lake Superior, the “Greatest of the Great Lakes”, being affected because of our climate change. The report said that the water is 5 degrees warmer than it used to be, and the warmer water is not good for the lake. Also, Lake Superior, due to the last few years drought, is 2 feet below normal, and that this is causing problems for ships. The ships have to carry less because the water level is not up to what it should be, so this affects the shipping industry that we have here. The report showed photos of our waterfront and the lake and the city. Quite interesting, this climate change is affecting many things and many places.

Have you heard about the new documentary "The 11th Hour"? It is a Leonardo DiCaprio's film, about the impacts of global warming, icluding droughts, hurricanes and flooding of coastal areas. I haven't seen it, think it just came out.
