They talk about millions of people on the move, all over the world. That is what is happening now. One more year of drought and the Midwest will see dust bowl conditions again. The Northeast? Should we allow them to rebuild anything? farmers are now fishermen in Bangledesh.

6. 2 Great Lakes at lowest levels ever...

Water levels in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are the lowest they've ever been since records keeping began in 1918, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.

"We're in an extreme situation," Keith Kompoltowicz, watershed hydrology chief for the Corps' Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Office in Detroit, told the Associated Press Tuesday.
