I drove up into north-central Lower Michigan to steal one last, late-March day of ice fishing from the waning season, one of the most disappointing in my memory.

Recently the government’s top climate specialist, compared the dozens of whales washing ashore along the New Jersey and New York coasts in recent months to road killed raccoons and possums along America’s highways.
