As
we witness the ice of the Arctic melt away, a similar
crisis unfolds closer to home, threatening the
environmental balance and communities relying on North
America's Great Lakes. Recent data from the
Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory reveals a
stark reality: ice cover across these vital
freshwater sources has plummeted to its lowest level in
50 years. This decline is a clear signal of the
escalating climate crisis.
The
Great Lakes, holding nearly 20% of the Earth's unfrozen
fresh surface water, are experiencing record high
temperatures due to a combination of the El Niño effect
and climate change driven by fossil fuel combustion. The
implications are profound, from altering weather
patterns across the northeastern US and southern Canada
to shrinking snow seasons that communities and
ecosystems depend on. Sign this petition to
call for policies that safeguard our lakes, climate, and
communities.
