Is global warming evaporating the Great Salt Lake?
We report. You decide.




The image above is from a recent New York Times report, parroted today by the Times’ imbecile economist Paul Krugman.

So is global warming evaporating the lake?

If you go to the NASA Earth Observatory web page, you are presented with this graph of the elevation of the Great Salt Lake.

Note the NASA graph pretends history began in Jan. 2019, even though the text mentions a previous 1963 low — when atmospheric CO2 was at a mere 319 (or 100 ppm CO2 ago, about 71% of the CO2 added since the Industrial Age).

Here’s is the fuller representation of the Great Salt Lake’s elevation. 1963 was indeed the previous low.
