Let's have a thread to take a look at the latest fantastic claims...
To start off...
As planet warms, the world’s lakes are heating up even faster

"The study is based on decades of measurements from 235 lakes that contain more than half the world’s fresh water supply. On average, temperatures are rising by about six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit per decade, a rapid increase by geological standards."
Did the authors of the study magically select 235 lakes where the temperature rose and ignored the rest. How did they not select the Great Lakes to be included in their study.
Here is the raw NOAA data from the Great Lakes. Slice, dice, graph it any way you want over any recent decade time period. The temperatures are not rising six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit per decade -- they have been very static for decades.
Similarly the temperature of the lakes in my home state of North Carolina have not increased over the past 50 years according to data from the state DENR.
Welcome to the 2016, where the absurd, unsupported climate change claims will continue.
