Toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie, 2011.
The aquapocalypse in Toledo, Ohio is now entering its third day after citizens in the greater Toledo area woke up to a stark reality on Saturday morning when city officials had issued an unprecedented, region wide water advisory warning people not to drink or boil local tap water due to toxic contamination. It is further recommended that young children and the elderly not bathe in the water. Samples at the Collins Park treatment plant, that services nearly 500,000 residents in NW Ohio and SE Michigan, have tested above safe drinking standards for microcystin and test results continue to show dangerous levels. A state of emergency has been declared by the state of Ohio.
A giant Toxic Algae bloom, of the type that has been plaguing Lake Erie for a decade, has for the first time overwhelmed the local water treatment plant at Collins Park and forced city officials to take this step to protect the health and safety of citizens. Years of hand wringing, millions of dollars in research grants, and lip service by the inept political caste on the causes and intensification of the blooms has done nothing to improve the situation.
The massive and recurring Toxic Algae Blooms on Lake Erie are a man made disaster. A combination of factory/industrial farming, sewage, storm water runoff and industrial pollution are to blame. The massive coal burners, nuke plants and tar sands refineries along the lake use millions of gallons of lake water and create large heat zones from thermal pollution where water temperatures are much warmer. The heat zone created by the thermal pollution along the lake, which includes the Monroe Power plant, the second largest coal burner in North America, was pinpointed in satellite imagery taken in 2011 as the spawning zone of that years algae bloom.
Comment: An element which both Environmentalists at large and Environmental Services don't take into account, is the radical electric component in climate change. How our Sun's reduced activity probably has a profound effect on Earth's surface-core E-field, 'loosening' the core's usual adherence to the surface, causing Earth to open up. Explaining for example the last decades rise in seismic activity, like with; quakes, volcanoes, sinkholes and
Subterranean out-gassing events, likely to also be connected here.
Of course it seems industrial pollution plays a key role in this story, yet current
earth changes indicates something much larger than any anthropocentric environmental effort can fix. For clues, read:

Comment: A very astute observation!
