The GSL is a terminal lake, but no one's talking about the water usage of the Wasatch Front population and the reduction over time in the amount of water entering the lake from the rivers. Over the past 30 years, the SL valley has completely been filled out from the east bench to the west side. And there is nothing bu houses from Ogden to SLC. All with unlimited water usage. Economists can tell you that this is a pricing problem.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. …

The only way they can save that lake is to redirect the Snake River in Idaho and channel it into the Great Salt Lake
Elohim warned us but we heeded not. Greed is the ruin of all!
Will republicans finally acknowledge climate change? Probably not…
Those democrats need to get thirsty.
People will not win over nature. With finite resources, its only a matter of time population growth will be curbed. The planet will not be destroyed even after 100,000 years of abuse from humanity. It can just wait a few billion years to grow back after humankind goes extinct.
We have everything we need to make the world better. Why do we make it worse instead?
Utah and Southern Nevada are in dire trouble
Only God can protect us (those who will have Him too) from these days/the tumultuous days ahead.. We haven’t seen anything yet… Jesus Christ is closer than ever before! The signs of His coming are increasing every single year. “I the Lord will hasten My work in its time”. We are witnessing prophecy being fulfilled right before our very eyes! But only those who are aware will actually see/be prepared.
Let's make sure the Republican Fascists fall harder and harder for their End Times nonsense and keep the wealthy 1% sucking our blood bone dry while they continue to pass legislation that speeds up Global Warming so our kids and grandkids can live in some hellish Blade Runner Hellscape before the planet becomes nonviable for human life by Not Voting and being weak democrat liberals! Sounds Fun! 😥🤢🤮
The great salt lake has been drying up for 35 years.
How far is Salt Lake from the ocean?
It's going to become another Salton Sea, where only tilapia can survive
When are gonna finally start killing politicians and torturing governing big wigs
Wasn’t there a report around 2 years ago. About Saudi Arabia using weather modification to make it rain because of the severe heat they endure.
Is the U.S. that far behind when it come to this technology???
I don’t think so…
Hmmm, maybe take action against climate change. Joe Manchin just shot down the newest efforts. We’re absolutely doomed because old rich white people don’t HAVE to do anything. As long as they have money they can do whatever they want.
No one cares about the birds or animals. Lets start caring Americans what about them? Each American should be treated like the great Salt Lake.
Mormons vote Republican, Republicans are the ones that have been perpetuating the myth that global warming is a hoax. I'm glad they are getting what they deserve but the conservative boomers will be dying out. It's other people that will have to live with this hell.
Good. And for all of you that love this sick world so much that you want it to continue………..you deserve what hell is coming.
Bury it in garbage, it can be the great landfill
The idea of piping water from the ocean is absolute craziness and the type of thinking that got us into this mess. How about we start by actually addressing climate change? Remember there is a 3-40 year lag in the CC effects..we haven't even seen yet what we've already sown. Mitigation strategies w/o greatly reducing or ending emissions can't solve the issue. We'll always be behind. And Utah has historically been horrible with water management. One of the driest states and the second highest water use per capita…lawns everywhere in he middle of the desert. Remove them around the Mormon church buildings alone and it would conserve millions of gallons.
If Jor-El was alive today. He'd have PTSD from this. Politicians once again not believing in the science.
🙏🙏🙏
I feel like Krypton where politicians don't believe the sun going to explode. In our case, it's climate change.
Good luck America 😂
We put on inflation to the birds
Bringing in ocean water will be very difficult because they’ll have to get other states on board..
