Lake Erie's Algae Woes Began Building A Decade Ago

11. We've had a mild summer

70's/50's, highly unusual. Very few storms to churn up the lake, no wind. A perfect storm, as they say.

As I mentioned above, my dad grew up on Lake Erie just north of Toledo, I remember him talking about algae on the lake in the '50's when he was a teenager. He would preach about not going in the water when there was algae.

Things have gotten worse from the mega farms. Our sewage goes into the lake too, although treated. No matter how they try, blaming it solely on climate change is just plain wrong.
