    They’ve been telling us that for years but only now are we really paying attention, now that’s it’s really too late to really save a large part of earth’s ecosystem. Here in Utah, the Great Salt Lake is drying up and blowing arsenic-laden dust into the air, yet our esteemed senators still insist that climate change is not real, that liberals made it up to get money for evil causes. We have consistently tested at “unhealthy to caustic” levels of air pollution due to inversions that trap bad air in our valley, yet the legislators have voted to turn Salt Lake into an industrial port for trucking and diesel vehicles. In another five years, this state may be uninhabitable as a result.
