A few thoughts on global warming and northern Wisconsin's drought.
Dylan's song seems totally appropriate. The hard rain in northern Wisconsin is no rain at all. Everyone laughs when they read a forecast that predicts "a chance" of rain.
Some are still talking about drought cycles, but more and more I suspect we are whistling past the graveyard. Scientists are using the words "historic" and "unprecedented".
I hope I am wrong, and I am of course no expert, but I think Northern Wisconsin is i the first stages of a calamity caused by a climate shift. Our lakes will never be the same. There is little that can be done. This calamity won't happen over centuries, but decades. We will watch it happen.
