I’m not following how subsidizing farms is a solution to over use… Aren’t they like the first people to yell socialist? Seems to me the problem is solvable without giving a large group of hypocrites an ironic favor…a capitalist would say, sell your farm.
Water in a desert – cities in a desert – farms in a desert – water drying up.
Might want to consider a different place for at least one big user of a scarce resource like Water ? This was always a Gamble for Americans. Feel free to move about the country.
meh, republicans are always like that, chanting the gospel mindlessly but when they are in need… suddenly socialism makes a lot of sense and is no problem at all, i know people exactly like that and if you watch jordan keppler and you will see there a lot of maga idiot s in rally’s who just happen to live on social security.
@#YOUdon’thavetoreadthispost. love the very intelligent idea that one guy moving in another state will fix the problem, how about instead you use the last brain cell you have to really understand whats going on einstein.
This is another example of how our world is changing. We either adapt or die. I really hope the people of Utah come together and solve this crisis and retain this beautiful lake.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
@James Ryan I dont claim to know better but rather know observations from which conclusions are made; not “conclusions” from computer models when talking about climate. Maybe that is better knowing.
I am a believer of the scientific method. That can not be used to predict future environmental events..
My credentials are in the field of biology and environmental studies, beyond graduate level BUT thats not important here if you or any other can answer …What caused climate to cool during the last ice age onset and more important what caused the warming of earth as I said 15,000 years ago to present during this glacial melt . This glacial melt that has caused the oceans to rise and cover continent producing continental shelves. Because this was unknown … yes .. colonists settled cities on coasts and now lament. No one knows but can only provide hypotheses.
Those government funded institutions give hypotheses that are biased . Independent research is what is most valued.
You may BELIEVE what you’d like regardless earth’s past history.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a text on Historical Geology.
@Cyberdemon531 Its called posts… but thank you , professor … I understand when professors spell check .. they have less or nothing to say about the content. I always call that a win on the topic.
@Secondchanceministries Oh shadduuup.
Climate change deniers have been telling us we’ll adapt. Well, better get to adapting.
How is your rant going to feed my black children? I have 14 and all 14 baby daddies missing dead or in jail!! These are issues that every black woman faces. Be more kind. We’re not all little miss prive. Be Mores like me.
@Latoya Hawkins lame
Not deny anything. Earths climate has changed since it began. It’s you clowns that make money selling something that can’t be changed.
@Dragony true. But we are accelerating climate change well beyond our adaptive capabilities.
That’s not a lake. It’s a nasty bug infested puddle.
In other words they squeezed the lake like a lemon.
And surprised at the results
Do they believe it’ll be sufficient just to limit water use from the Great Salt Lake, or do they believe they’ll have to find new sources of water to feed the Great Salt Lake? If they need new sources to feed the Great Salt Lake, what might those new sources be?
They need to undo climate change, and that ain’t happening
If only Bill gates would invest in this… cough cough. He bought 70% of the farmland. We need to make him make some lakes lol he surely can afford it after covid
How about a Canal running from idaho to Utah? Makes total sense if you pay attention to the Rest of the Story.
just get the republicans around the lake and make them lose another presidential election, beware it could easily overflow.
@Crazy KKKaren 🤣
Testament not only to the lack of quality of the elected leaders in Utah, but mostly, the voters who gave them the power to put them in this awful position. Way to go Utahns!
This happens during periods of drought. CNN and the Democrat Party want the people to live in fear. It’s how they keep control. Marxist tactics.
they’re finally getting water meters? could they not have thought of that before the situation was so drastic? iirc just during this drought, you could plot the water level going down year by year, wouldn’t take a genius to prepare for the worst case scenario preemptively in case it sticks to the trend, which it has.
All they need to do is pour more water in then throw sum table salt in the water. Lmao
Lets Be Honest We All Remember This Record:-

They are Republicans. They see this as more places to drive a truck.
I predict the water meters will be tampered with to show low water usage.
Isn’t this the same thing that happened at the Salton Sea in CA?
No, not really. The Salton Sea is manmade. Before around 1900, it was a dry lake bed. It formed after the Colorado River was diverted and water temporarily and unintentionally flowed into the lake bed. After they corrected the diversion, it was runoff from farms that kept it full. However, as the amount of manufactured chemicals used on farms increased, the runoff made the lake more and more toxic to where it eventually started killing off all life. Now that California is in a drought, there isn’t the runoff from farms anymore. So the lake is returning to what it was 120+ years ago; only full of toxic elements that are now becoming airborne.
@CEB B You are a genius, i was thinking was the hell happened to the lake, your explanation has given me the answers.
Similar thing is happening to the Salton Sea in southeast California.
Auto makers are going after the lithium salt there.
@CRATER RAIDERS check out my ex-wife she has so much salt in her sea you could feed Salt Lake 2000 yrs.
They’re diverting the water from going in the Great salt lake
Greed kills us all
We have had decades to figure this out. People just get stupider and more overpopulated.
They only had a hundred years advance notice about this eventuality. Yet the people of Utah consistently elected people who denied such claims and ignored sensible solutions. There’s still time for them to leave the state and find better pastures elsewhere. Enough subsidizing irresponsible life styles.
Yeah, because they try to bend the *desert* to their will. To make it bloom. It’s not designed to bloom. Not like that, anyway. People are idiots. Especially here. Claiming that sky daddy will fix everything! I should fucking well think not after so many melinia!
What are your thoughts on California and the record rainfall they got and let go to waste?
@Jon Dough Nothing goes to waste in nature.
@Jon Dough Was that you who took a selfie looking up into the rain with your mouth open?
Detroit one of the most abandoned cities over the past 50 years is also one of the most sustainable places to live, but no one wants to redevelop it
Thoughts and prayers ain’t gonna fix this one.
💯
Same thing with Lake mead… Irresponsible use of the water in a desert! Yeah, let’s do a whole bunch of farming, growing real grass in the desert! BRILLIANT! Oh, and in Las Vegas, let’s run those pretty fountains. Those are totally important! It’ll only be a matter of time before they’re piping water from the Mississippi! Hmph!
desalination of the ocean
@shay stern Yah, we’ve ruined everything else – now let’s work on the ocean!
It’s extreme overcrowding. To them the land is empty till it’s built up like a city with people stacked one hundred stories up. They expect the people to live like gerbils in a cage with a little running wheel and food dishes.
Man, how am I supposed to believe anything Lemon says. Is it true or not.
I have a perspective here… There’s a bunch of farmland. Maybe more acres than the great salt lake… This could be a case of unsustainable water usage, or just dumb luck aha? The weather is hurting people if not by the people hurting the systems that convolute it. Wherever the water is; it will find itself again. When it comes to keeping the pollutants contained; perhaps it be incentivized… or not. In the way an incentive is presented upon the production of farm product, maybe the flowers of a complete agricultural system could grow. Creativity is of interest in this type of “issue”, a great entrepreneurial opportunity or a disaster for the disinterested.
The lakes in Southern California disappeared that’s recent proof and health problems people are having now
