Also the Great Salt Lake in Utah has drastically declining lake levels, exposing toxic arsenic and other minerals that has dormant under the salt water all this time. Once the lake bed dries, poisonous dust particles will fill the air and quite literally poison the valley, since air can’t easily escape due to the mountains creating a bowl effect trapping the poisonous air (like the notoriously bad inversions they have). People will either die, have to move, or live life with a gas mask on whenever we go outside.
