I wouldn’t be surprised if, at some point, the Utah GOP started denying that the inversion exists. After all, if climate change is a hoax, Renee Good rammed her car into the ICE officer, and vaccines cause autism, maybe we shouldn’t believe what our eyes and lungs tell us in Northern Utah

Currently in the salt lake valley. It’s been so bad in recent years that it’s hard to see past the first few rows of houses and the mountains are completely obscured. In years past it has parked in place for weeks at a time and even the sun is not able to penetrate.

Former northern Utah resident. The “inversion”… where an unnatural cloud of silvery white, opaque industrial particulates roll against the mountainside and blocks out the sky…was a constant source of depression and asthma for me. Utah was a bad place to live for lotsa reasons, but that was up there

When I lived in Salt Lake, I had a supervisor who could identify natives with one question. He'd gesture toward his third-floor window and ask them what they called the stuff in the sky. The natives always answered "fog." He'd then point out that fog isn't brown.

I was in rural Cache Valley for 13+ years and those inversions were brutal thanks to the silage-induced cow farts. No sun, vile smell, and the sinus infections they caused! But our elderly neighbors told us how much worse the inversions were when everyone burned coal for heat.

It's okay, in Southern Utah we are so excited to catch up that we want to sell the parks and develop in pristine desert. Who cares if a whole culture loves Ship Rock. Let's tear it all down and put in a water park. Water here is scarce unless you have money.

Or anywhere for that matter. Only reason MAGA'S deny climate change is that it is largely caused by industries that support their campaigns with millions, meaning they are paid to deny it. If you want change then you have to vote ALL REPUBLICANS OUT OF POWER this year, regardless of what you hear.
