I never said Lake Michigan was going to continue rising. But we will see some effects of climate change, so we'd better start studying/modeling the local effects at our universities, and designing projects to prepare for those imapcts. Instead we are still spending billions on Deep Tunnel so some homeowners in the Bungalow Belt don't get flooded basements.
