Research out of Ontario’s York University suggests more and more lakes are not freezing over during the winter months, which can harm the local ecosystem and make it hard for people to enjoy two winter pastimes: ice fishing and skating.

, looked at 80 years worth of historical data among 122 lakes across the Northern Hemisphere and found they are becoming increasingly less likely to freeze over during the winter.

For example, the researchers estimate that Bayfield Bay in Lake Superior could have 42 ice-free years between now and 2100 after having just four since 1939.All of this is bad news for people who enjoy winter activities on the ice, Filazzola added.

Oh no. Not skating and ice fishing. We better ruin our economy again to stop this. That seems to be the goal of government anyway.

Does anyone remember when train tracks were laid down across the st Lawrence in the winter. No chance it happening today.

When we are going to start talking about pollution in those lakes caused by multinationals that no one can restrain? We want to fix something - let's start right there!

So stuff that humans like

lolololol

yeah and this is because you fucks need cameras and others want shit so the smokestacks keep burning for that and everything else. society is going to kill itself. my kids will not have any white christmases because of the idiotic hypocrites in the world. i love the winter 😭

So let me get this straight CTV, you're saying if the lakes fail to freeze over that's going to negatively impact ice fishing and ice skating? Wow, you journalists really know how to put all those scientific phenomenon into laymen terms.

Doesn’t matter. Ford will cancel both activities anyways.

Duh. With no ice there is no ice fishing or ice skating

Then go boat fishing

I thought paying carbon tax would have fixed this problem by now. I personally know my tax dollars are lowering green house gas...a politition told me so. This is article must be fake news.

Solid reporting here!

So the study suggests that if lakes don’t freeze you can ice fish or skate, but it hasn’t yet confirmed if it’s true?

Yes ice fishing and skating are the clearly the top priority

Lack of ice means fewer humans in their environment. Sounds like a win to me. The leftist mantra is human presence is detrimental no matter how small.

😂 well yes I suppose if the lakes don’t freeze, it could limit skating and ice fishing. Thanks for the Earth shattering report.

Wait! You’re telling me that someone needed to do a “study” to tell me that if the lakes don’t freeze then I can’t go ice fishing? And if the lakes don’t freeze we will just call it......fishing? Good job on this EXCELLENT reporting 🤦‍♂️

Heading should be global warming means lakes won’t freeze over and you can’t have fun on them anymore

Wow what a headline. Lakes fail to freeze you can’t skate on them. Thanks CaptainObvious

A study to tell us that? Holy shit, Liberal Progressives are idiots.

'Suggests' ?

are Idiots! At least try to look intelligent. Are you sure it’s not Harper’s fault? CPC_HQ

Losing human convenience is not climate change.

But one benefit will be the selection acceleration of Darwin's theory.

LOL!

Pretty sure that's not a priority at the moment. Everyone is in a bad way at the moment. Stop the FKN parties and we can go on with life FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. PS. And the covid laden flight's to Canada.

Hahahaha 🤣🤣. We got a winner. The stupid is really strong with this one. 😉😂😂😂

DUHHHH!!!!!!

Breaking News: Fishermen change tactics and start using boats to fish in the winter.

Wait a minute!… You geniuses just figured out that if lakes don’t freeze you can’t ice fish! 🤣. We are doomed to drown is a sea of lukewarm CTV stupidity.

*BREAKING* Drinking less water could make you 'thirsty' study shows. See we can make up stupid headlines too.

Non freezing lakes bad for skating and ice fishing. This and other groundbreaking stories in the latest edition of “Duh” magazine.

Was this study conducted in July, maybe try January next time!

You mean you can’t skate on water? Shit.

Harm skating on a lake? How catastrophic lol?

They needed a study to determine that if a lake doesn't freeze over it would be hard to ice fish or go skating on said lake

Well wait until winter before going on it

There’s boats you know

Oh no! Not the skating! Really?

BREAKING: Better for the fish population the 'no need to be expert' says.🤔

Lol

Who skates on a lake anyway? Fish by boat.

It's October

Great study! Someone was paid for this? It's a big country, put a little more effort in and maybe you'll get the scoop you've always wanted.

These are the same liberals.

Dumb story, even by your low standards..

Bullshit lies.

Wait... hold the phone. So I can’t go on water that isn’t frozen? What about putting my tongue on metal at or below zero?

And kill Santa!!

Its already harmed the skating.

Alberta last year was coldest ever and it lasted well into April before Ice came off the lakes The BS stories get more rediculas

Check your data. There is no global warming. The climatehoax is dead. One hoax at a time please.

So wouldn't they just take a boat out there instead?

Just wait until forest fire season begins to extend into winter. Lack of ice fishing will be the least of our worries....

ERMERGERD! And, some other stuff happening today...(ref: Biden scandal)

It’s snowing...in mid-October. Enough...

'SKATING'...no one cares COMMUNIST CTV

Watch they will find a way to blame it on Covid.

This is only a problem for Jiffy ice auger.

In related news, drinking alcohol impairs judgement: Thanks, tips...

But fishing open water is extended FFS.

More swimming though!🏊‍♂️

Hard to ice fish and skate without ice. This is a study?

Lakes that don’t freeze definitely slow down ice fishing. Of course in the last 20 years the Great Lakes have seen more ice than in the previous hundred

Omg. Give it up.
