No More Fishing?

UPI files this report of the effect of global warming on the Great Lakes area. Apparently, the lakes are scheduled to dry up.

Now, I am no scientist, so forgive me if I get confused. Other studies on global warming scare us into believing that we'll all be flooded because of melted polar ice caps. How is global warming going to overflow the oceans with all that extra water but at the same time keep any of it from going into the Great Lakes?

What is only inferred in the article is that the study was based upon the assumption that global warming is a far-gone conclusion.

Not wanting to have all his research deemed worthless, Donald Wuebbles merely tosses aside this Harvard University study that refutes his assumption:

Donald Wuebbles...discounted a recent Smithsonian Institution study that found temperatures were warmer during the Middle Ages in Europe than they are now, saying the scientists involved had not fully analyzed the data.

My question is, has Dr. Wuebbles fully analyzed the data? I do not see how he possibly could have if those who actually did the study have not. And if he has not, how can he summarily dismiss the study out-of-hand?
