that's not how this works. that's not how any of this works.


the truth of the matter is that climatologists aren't quite sure what global warming means for the great lakes.

some models show more water, other models say the lakes might dry up due to greater evaporation.

it's a big question mark at the moment, but the water level of the great lakes is divorced from that of the global ocean, at least in a direct sense.

Lake Ontario is ~243ft so it might see some rise if the St. Lawrence were to become tidal further upstream.
