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
