This thread discusses the Content article: Why does Utah Valley tolerate mucky air?

The air is much, much better than what it was in the 1980's and we didn't all collapse and die back then. It is funny how people act like the air is a disaster waiting to happen like a school collapsing in an earthquake. I'm all for clean air, but the alarmist, sky is falling mentality is a typical tactic of the environmental movement. Every time the government tightens pollution standards which has the effect of causing the Wasatch Front to be out of compliance, the environmental lobby makes it sound like we are going to die right now if we don't do something about it. Again, I'm all for clean air, but I prefer people with level heads to lead the way.

I agree, but they really need to do something about those "chemtrails" in the air over Utah!
