That reminds me.
Whatever happened to “acid rain”? Remember how it was going to be the end of the world as we knew it?
It just sorta faded away. Kinda like the “Ozone Hole” that was also going to kill us all.
Respectfully, acid rain was indeed a real issue. It was very plausibly traceable to the burning of coal in power plants and the burning of minerals in smelting operations. Those industries dumped tremendous amounts of sulfur dioxide into the air and it was easy to see how that would turn into sulfuric or sulfurous acid by having rain run through either of those compounds. In the interim, fairly stringent regulations have been imposed that forced the scrubbing of sulfur compounds from smokestack emissions. And the recovered sulfur or sulfur dioxide has commercial value. So the situation has more or less gone away.
Certainly, the parallels between the anti sulfur movement and the anti-carbon dioxide movement are pretty obvious.
they rabbit holed both of those along with the coming iceage decades ago.
decade after decade they lie and get away with it in order to push their green agenda.
Acid rain went away because they closed those steel mills and other coal burning facilities throughout the rust belt. Acid rain is caused by burning low grade coal.
