Utah is sacrificing part of the Great Salt Lake to buy the other part time

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox issued an executive order Friday that will once again raise the causeway bisecting the Great Salt Lake in an effort to slow its ecological collapse.

The move essentially creates two lakes, one dead and one on life support. The Great Salt Lake bottomed out at a record-low elevation of 4,188.5 feet on Nov. 3. Unprecedented low water levels have concentrated the lake’s salts, nearly wiping out its brine flies and threatening the health of brine shrimp, while also putting at risk the millions of migrating birds that depend on those two food sources.

I thought the Soviets were idiots to kill the Aral Sea, and it would serve as an example to other nations.

1. The dust coming off is full of heavy metals. And a lot of people live in its proximity...

How foolish we are to ignore such devastating problems until it is too late.
