During the early 2010s, alarmists pointed to a short-term decline in Great Lakes water levels, blamed global warming for the decline, claimed global warming would cause ongoing water declines, and claimed lower water levels were creating a crisis. In the late 2010s, however, Great Lakes water levels fully recovered and reached record highs. Alarmists now claim more water in the Great Lakes is bad and an alarming crisis. Assuming water levels continue their natural variability and reach average conditions again soon, alarmists will likely claim that the return to average water conditions is a crisis, too.
