The rate of shrinkage is accelerating. A hotter world means a massive transfer of trillions of gallons of water into the atmosphere. Then it gets complicated.

More rain in the watershed supplying the lakes could make them grow. However, all the models indicate that the "rain belt" feeding the lakes will shift to the north.

The models, and current measurements, indicate the lakes are going to dramatically shrink over the next century.

That's a long enough timescale to make being there right now reasonable. In a 100 years you will be dead and it won't be your problem.
