The Great Salt Lake is drying up

When Brigham Young came out of the mountains and saw the Great Salt Lake, he said, “This is the place.”  Salt Lake City sits at the eastern edge of the lake, fed by the rivers flowing from the mountains.

Now the lake is disappearing.  It has already retreated from its shoreline, and the dust from the dry lake bottom is creating problems.  I am always amazed at people who deny global warming.  It is in front of us every day.  A disappearing lake is not “fake news” or some kind of conspiracy theory.  Drive I-80 across Utah and open your eyes.
