    Whatever is going to get me, it won't be CO2. What makes you think I am alive in the first place, I already died because of acid rain

    Yeah, or like how you died because of all the dangerous "rapefugees", lolol.

    Could it be that environmental regulations helped prevent further damage from acid rain? No, that couldn't be it. There's no way pumping industrial chemicals into the atmosphere could have acidified the rain. The environmentalists must have lied. That's the only logical explanation.

    Acidic rain is necessary to produce calcium-rich clay by erosion which runs into the ocean via rivers and makes e.g. the important building blocks for shell-fish, housing for snails and least but not last coral. The calcium depended creatures eventually die and make limestone which is in fact trapped CO2 in the ocean. The cliffs of Dover is a great example of this - once an ocean bed. Environmental regulation will never stop acidic rain, if it did - it would destroy important ecological circuits.

    Are you deliberately equivocating? Normal rain is lightly acidic at pH 5.5 or 6 (like milk or coffee) due to condensation around the cloud nucleus and reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide.

    More acidic rain than that will disrupt the cycle you mention and contribute to aquatic osteoporosis.

    Well done Erasmus. Just trying to bring the focus back on carbon emission and global warming.

    In 1965, coal was replaced by gas as the main fuel source and stricter standards for sulfur which caused significant improvements. There was a serious threat to your Hemony Carillon Bells as it was corroding the Bronze they were made out of, causing them to thin and change the pitch.

    Now don't be silly because we solved the issue of acid rain, you now think that it didn't exist as a serious threat.

    I didn't exist in 1965, of course there was horrible pollution since the dawn of the industrial revolution and it got better, the famous letter written with the letter written with the water of the Thames was a brilliant statement. Pollution really needs to be adressed, but that's pragmatism and shouldn't be religious activism/business model. $$$$
