The Disappearance of Utah’s Great Salt Lake From The 1,200-Year Drought

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, sheds light on the alarming decline of Utah’s Great Salt Lake, which has lost 80% of its water. This largest saltwater lake in the Northern Hemisphere faces near extinction due to the 1,200-year drought exacerbated by climate change. Unlike Lake Mead, which occasionally replenishes, the Great Salt Lake has no such recovery in sight and is projected to vanish entirely by the decade’s end.
