The Great Lakes are feeling the heat from climate change.

As the world's largest freshwater system warms, it is poised to
systematically alter life for local wildlife and the tribes that depend
on it, according to regional experts. And the warming could also provide
a glimpse of what is happening on a more global level, they say.

"The Great Lakes in a lot of ways have always been a canary in the coal
mine," Cameron Davis, the senior adviser to the U.S. EPA on the Great
Lakes, said last week. "Not just for the region or this country, but for
the rest of the world."
