“Air quality is bipartisan,” Lin said. “We all want clean air and to do something about it.”
IF WE ALL WANT CLEAN AIR THEN WHY THE FUCK IS PROFIT MORE IMPORTANT? THE PLANET IS DYING AROUND YOU AND YOU STILL THINK THE PARTIES REPRESENT US? YOUR LIBERAL BULLSHIT IS A BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM.
They're not totally wrong, it is bipartisan
As in, neither party is gonna do anything meaningful about it until too late because the profit motive doesn't care
Something something in Bad Country™ agriculture mismanagement caused the aral sea to disappear, good thing that would never happen (multiple times) in Good Country™
In a sane world those farmers would have their water rights severely restricted without them being asked
Those farmers run the state so there’s no way they’re gonna shut off their own taps
The lake will more than likely not exist by the time the 2034 Winter Olympics are supposed to take place in Salt Lake City. It will become Utah’s Aral Sea.
More water is diverted out of the lake for farming and mining every year, and the current governor of Utah is part of a farming family that grows alfalfa in the desert, so it’s unlikely that any law that would negatively impact his family’s business will be passed.
I wonder if Utah’s new NHL will relocate when they realize that it will become toxic to live in the Salt Lake valley in a few years. And there’s talk of an MLB team moving here, but how could they seriously make plans to put a new stadium in a dust bowl? I expect they may end up relocating the 2034 Olympics because the lake provides a significant boost to snowfall in the mountains, although I guess they could use snow makers in February to make things happen. Utahns in general are ignoring the issue, few people here take the warnings seriously. It’s fucking bleak
build the new MLB statium on top of the dried lakebed, that plus the parking lot should trap all the dust underneath. all the workers will get some brutal newly described form of silicosis, the stadium will sag & collapse, starting to release the dust in under 2 decades
Do y'all want the White Legs?
Because this is how you get the White Legs!
I care! I love the idea of the Mormon ideal of Eden being destroyed by their own hubris.
Honestly Utah getting wiped out by Americans deciding they’d rather die than get serious about ecological issues is still Utah getting wiped out.
Silver linings I guess
"Salting the earth" but it's the entire earth because Brigham Young was too tired to go over the Sierra Nevadas
