MARQUETTE, Mich. (July 29) - As the research boat bobs up and down on
gray, choppy Lake Superior, Michigan Tech University chemist Noel
Urban and two students drop a metal cylinder over the side to retrieve
a water sample from the bottom.
They are measuring carbon dioxide content -- an unspectacular
statistic by itself, yet an important piece of a highly complex
puzzle.
"It helps us develop a model that can say what's going to happen as
the lake warms up," Urban says.
Plenty of people are wondering the same thing.
Something seems amiss with mighty Superior, the deepest and coldest of
the Great Lakes, which together hold nearly 20 percent of the world's
fresh surface water.
It's the Chinese. Wal-Mart and Halliburton teamed up to ship another
U.S. asset to the PRC, this time via a through-the-earth pipeline. The
deal was brokered by Dicque Cheney. China will run the water through its
non-existent sewage treatment plants, bottle it, and ship it back to us
for drinking.
