Lake Superior is famous for the ferocity of its winter winds and storms, and a new study suggests that, if anything, there are bigger storms to come.

As the world’s largest lake warms, it is kicking up stronger winds. The extra-blustery weather on Lake Superior is causing faster currents, and possibly changing the ecology of the lake and the distribution of local air pollution.

So says a new study of Lake Superior — the world’s largest lake by surface area, containing 10 percent of the unfrozen freshwater on the planet — published this week in Nature Geoscience.

Faster currents, stronger winds, one of the world’s more treacherous bodies of water could be even more so in days to come. Be prepared for even worse consequences, something on the order of a revival of “The Wreck of the Edmund Firtzgerald“.
