"We will be in drought within the next five years." Probably next year. This was an El Nino year, which typically brings increased precipitation to the west.
Everyone who has commented so far clearly watched the piece and understood it. How is it that the hosts of the show didn't seem to get it? Jeff Glor even misquoted Bonnie Baxter saying that she said, according to his distortion, "I wrote the obituary for this lake. Now I'm saying it's back." She absolutely did NOT say that. The lake has recovered 5 feet of a needed 11 feet of depth, and the likelihood of that continuing in the next few years is extremely low. What ever happened to intellectual honesty in journalism? After a well done report, this host just blatantly tries to undermine the point being made. This is good news for the moment, but the overall situation remains grim. Shame on you CBS. You are a complete disappointment to honest journalism.
THAT'S RIGHT! GOD opened His Heavens by HIS merciful hand, because of His goodness, kindness, and faithfulness! So-called Mother Nature is just a fairytale. People who use that term simply don't want to give God any Glory, even when He is doing wonderful things for our benefit alone. Thank You, Heavenly Father!
Born and raised in SLC. This year bought us a couple years. That's it. We have had over 20 years of data showing this was happening but they did nothing. It's pathetic. We had a governor that told the citizens to "pray for rain" Instead of creating changes
I thought we were having catastrophic global warming? How does that jibe with record snowfall? This is another in the incredibly long line of natural occurrences that don't match what the "experts" all say is happening. I'm going to go with the fact that the earth's climate has always, and will always, change. Sometimes radically. We don't currently have the ability to accurately forecast local weather much less what is going to happen in years or decades.
@ Ferry, Your Faith has made thee Whole. Prayer is your Remedy! Keep the Faith n continue to remain steadfast n fasting n prayer unto our Lord for Rain for the land God gave yur family to steward over.🙏 😇
We live in a time of weather misinformation. Last week there were news reports that this was the hottest summer in 120,000 years and some said the hottest summer ever. All the weather websites list different forecasted highs and lows and precipitation and humidity. The weather maps on nightly news are more likely to show heat indexes than actual temperatures. If someone installs a temperature probe above an air conditioner or black asphalt parking lot, it will read higher in the summer. In a couple decades are we going to say, “the 2020’s was a hot decade,” or, “that was the beginning of the end?” I have a feeling that a mild several years is all that it will take and climate scientists will be patting themselves on the back for saving the Earth from assured destruction and mass extinction by ramming a green initiative down all our throats as China and India could care less about targets set by rich people about rich people problems.
@@jcldctt Excuse for what? I am talking about huge discrepancies in the reporting of something so basic as local air temperatures casting doubt on the accuracy of global climate models to predict events years into the future. What’s the point of having a perfect climate model, which there is none, if bad data is plugged in it. We care about the global climate because of local weather implications first and foremost. They are intertwined. By all means please enlighten me on the subject since you have declared me ignorant.
Yep. People can't or won't see the climate hoax. It's a golden goose for politicians and scientists. It gives people worth to be part of the alarmists. How can people with low self worth resist?
“Record snow pack brings great salt lake back from drought for now” would have been more accurate. Without changes to how water is used it will be back to where it just was in a few years. Can’t expect ma nature to bail us out every time.
Don't prophesy more drought, for goodness sakes! Don't you know words are powerful? The Bible says the power of life and is in the tongue! Why would you speak disaster over the area where you live?
i tend to think all this water came from that volcano off the coast of california that that wuz it for water to give az it put so much water ash in to the atmosphere
We had a good idea that the lake could be in trouble in the 1990's. Our republicant politicians refused to act until they found out that there would be toxic dust heading toward majority white communities. Keeping it 💯
Date 11-7-2023. Radio show NPR news 'here n now' they discuss the demise of the slow great salt lake. I dont have a link. Download podcast. How sooo much water needed to mine lithium, which salt water places possess it. This the cost for green energy ?!@
Appreciate this update and the scientists seizing the moments of study for future generations to care for the environment

All up to mother nature.
@@ohfknowned239 yeah but we screwing everything with climate change and misuse of water resources. The lake isn't simply dissapearing by nature.

Journalism as we know it has degraded.
It’s such trash I don’t know how they keep the lights on
UTAH journalism is going to have to work hellaHarder to keep up with personal cameras, live stream, web sleuths, & A.I

Beautiful Ive been to See this Area So Happy Its still thriving 🌾
I don't think it is thriving.
It's going to take ten more seasons like this one just to break even.
Born and raised in SLC. This year bought us a couple years. That's it. We have had over 20 years of data showing this was happening but they did nothing. It's pathetic. We had a governor that told the citizens to "pray for rain" Instead of creating changes
Wonderful news. But its gonna take way more than a historical amount of snow to solve the GSL. We need more than just one year of heavy snow.
How about stop developing and expanding 😂 Ever thought of more population = more resource consumption.
@@penitenttangent7346 exactly 💯! I'm all for that! I live in Salt Lake and we can't sustain all this growth!
@@roxiehawk1897 Importing 10 million people a year across a non-existent border will make this worse, but I bet you are voting in favor of it.
Hooray for Snow ❄️ ❄️ ❄️!!!!!!!!
I dont get why we have water for golf courses, but we are cutting water for farmers.
Looks like water's back on the menu, boys
Beautiful lake

those are excellent news, especially in such dark times. still work needs to be done
This is fantastic to see! Water in a salt lake...😊

Thank You, thank You, thank You Lord Jesus Christ. Please, please, please keep it coming for the next decade.
Thank You. Hallelujah.

That woman still hasn't learned.
"If WE can get water to this lake..."
Leave it alone and it will take care of itself.
Nothings going to change if nobody changes BAU. Temporary reprieve at best.
Good fior Salt Lake City great for the fauna and flora.
It’s only a matter of time before it’s gone
Just like Tulare and Owens lakes in California
Can’t wait for it to fall even lower next year! Permanent problems require permanent solutions…
Already fighting over water rights in Utah. I highly doubt anyone will build the infrastructure and fill the lake with water. Too much building
Jesus, the morning show commentators are clueless.
Will this last well see next winter
Watched a video where government was taking credit for an increase in Brine Shrimp this year because of a culvert install. It’s water!

Climate scientists are crying right now 😂
Don't prophesy more drought, for goodness sakes! Don't you know words are powerful? The Bible says the power of life and is in the tongue! Why would you speak disaster over the area where you live?
Wow, it's like we can't control the weather after all. Maybe one more tax will help the water level rise some more.
Snow is good!
yeah if that keeps happening because of climate instability they'll have more than a lake to deal with
Can I get help to make a video there?
That was great wien the thunder spoke up!😂
i tend to think all this water came from that volcano off the coast of california that that wuz it for water to give az it put so much water ash in to the atmosphere
Great update from the scientists who study this.
Obviously, im not very scientific, but can someone tell me, how does fresh water become a salt lake? Is it the minerals in the ground?
yes.
Never happy no matter what. That's the Left.
El Nino winter flood/snow incoming in 4 months.

People think they know the future weather😂😂 they don’t even know if they’re going to wake up from their next nap 😅 sheeeesh
now they can wash cars and water lawns until the next drought
🤣😂
So you're telling me mother nature found away 🤔 😆 🤣 😂 😹
