My friend Chuck Gazlay has a paradise in his front
yard. Look at these multiple waterfalls . This has
been a cold winter so they have frozen. But not for
long. It has already been in the mid 50's for a week.

Iceberg in Lake Michigan













Icebergs in Lake Michigan sometimes have stripes, formed by
layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet
fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the lake.

Are you starting to get the idea that maybe global
warming is not happening?














This is one of the coldest winters in Lake Michigan
history. The waves freezes as soon as they hit the
air. If you still believe in global warming you
need to do some research.
