What happened to “acid rain”
20 years ago that was all we heard from the MSM here in the midwest and east.
The forests were defoliating at a prodigious rate!
Acid rain, the result of coal sulphur going up into the atmosphere, was real. (Scrubbers took care of that) And what goes up, must come down. The thing was, that all those sulphur crystals in the atmosphere actually reflected sunlight/heat.
Cooler planet, but acid rain in certain places based upon prevailing winds and moisture.
An unintended consequence of cleaning up the air, things got a little warmer. So Mother Earth did what Mother Earth had always done, and adjusted, and it got warmer until mother earth did her thing and adjusted again.
Sulphur in the atmosphere is bad, CO2 is not. It may be toxic to mammals and most breathing things, but for plants it’s O2.
Not everything we do on this earth is benign. Blasting off megaton nukes in open air is a really bad idea, for example.
Just sayin
