Paid climate fraudster Jim Kitchell thinks that you're stupid

Global warming a factor in Lake Superior sea lamprey problem | Superior Telegram | Superior, Wisconsin
A UW-Madison researcher says global warming is factoring into Lake Superior’s growing problem with invasive, blood-sucking parasites that attack fish.

Zoologist Jim Kitchell has $200,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Sea Grant program to look at climate change’s effects on sea lampreys. He says climate change has reduced ice cover on Lake Superior, meaning less radiation from the sun is reflected off its surface.

As sea lamprey exterminated the Lake Michigan lake trout during the late 1940s, another invading fish, the alewife, gained a foothold and eventually became dominant.

Ten years after wiping out the lake trout in Lake Michigan, sea lamprey repeated the performance on Lake Superior.
