open the vents and pollute willy nilly. They have lots of engineering controls and operate under a bunch of permits....as required by those regulators.

But they burned wood constantly in Brigham's day. Not sure I follow your logic.

HarlemCoug

It is a quality of the valley. NOT pollution to any

Snipe

are you suggesting that a similar inversion existed before Brigham got to the valley? I don't think you understand the

Are you suggesting inversion didn't exist before Brigham Young?

The inversions happened well before

Snipe

basically, yes. it's really no different than what happened with the advent

Supposedly the native americans referred to SL Valley as "Smoke Valley"

It's pollution dude, google inversion.

Cabadapeste

Then why inversions before pollution?

Lets take some unsourced statement from Brigham Young over an extensive amounts

Huh. Let's see you get a little scientific, then.

"smoke valley" - I fail to see why you think that means it wasn't pollution...

Inversions can happen very easily with this type of geography after a big snow

Get our act together? You think an inverted fog layer is something we can

are you suggesting that the inversion doesn't trap pollution and make the air dangerous to breathe?

HarlemCoug

2/12/16 10:06pm

The inversion happens no matter what.

I'm pretty sure I didn't suggest anything of the sort.
