    146 Fisherman were rescued after a giant chunk of ice snapped off on Lake Erie and started drifting off into the lake.

    Global warming, caused by climate change, obviously melted the ice.

    I gather the weight of the 146 people on the ice was not considered to be a factor?

    Well it's not like Lake Erie has a permanent ice cap, and why is the ice that thick anyway with global warming?
     
    InTooDeep Thanks this.

    Happens almost every year up here. DNR says "get your shanty off by date x", a week later guys are trying to get one last weekend in, the ice shelf breaks free and we have to rescue the idiots. Usually a couple of pick up trucks, a dozen snow machines and two dozen shanties get left to sink into Green Bay or Lake Michigan.

    It's a lot more about ice drinking in a small wooden shack than fishing.

    They’re not forecasting any rain all week, maybe it’ll hit @x1Heavy instead.
    I saw my first snake today, ick!!!
    And they’re suppose to put my roof on early this week. It was too cold for them last week :(
