CADILLAC â How warm are the local lakes, and are they getting warmer as the global climate changes?
Until recently, you d have to look at symptoms of warming lakes to answer that question, rather than a thermometer, as there was no formal project to track Lake Cadillac s temperature.
But Lake Cadillac has one now; according to Scott Heintzelmanâwho sits on a climate change committee as part of his work as Michigan Department of Natural Resources s Central Lake Michigan Unit Manager in the Fisheries DivisionâLake Cadillac got a thermometer installed about four years ago; it s on private property to try to prevent damage or theft that might happen.
