Comments about ‘Nature Conservancy representative says there's no agreement about health of Great Salt Lake’

The discussion is flawed. The only water entering the GSL is "waste" water, while the evaporation process of nature is going strong. The lake is drying up.

In a few decades, we'll have the greatest racetrack and atv area in the West. Good bye GSL.

Sounds like they are looking for a simple means of describing the lake's health as is done with local air pollution - green, yellow, red, etc.

Something as dynamic and complex as the great Salt Lake could not be described in such simple terms - that is even if we understood it. We don't.

Probably the biggest factor that affects the lake is precipitation - a natural phenomenon. That could mean that a lake could be judged "unhealthy" due to mother nature's actions. That would be hard for the "I hate human beings" school of environmentalism to swallow.
