Abstract
The death of Lake Michigan would be
an unimaginable disaster. No fishing, no
swimming, cottages closed all summer,
drinking water dosed with chlorine until
it smells in the glass. Beaches deep in
rotting algae, dead fish, fuel oil slime
and orange peels.
Instead of being the most valuable
asset of the surrounding states, it would
be a loathsome thing touching them all.
The time of Lake Michigannulls doom
has been fixed as early as 1990, not
much more than 20 years from now.
This horrible vision is hard to believe.
The people who hold it are experts,
but there are others just as expert who
are confident the lake will never be
much different than it is now.
