Remember Acid Rain?

Another environmental scare debunked:

Acid rain killing all forests was the main environmental scare in the 1980s.

A new half-century study shows acid rain doesn’t kill trees— actually, trees grow more with acid rain!

Envirowhackos are 0-168 now. But don’t worry. The mythical manmade hole in the ozone has us all dead by now.

if acid rain was the one and only factor in the growth of trees this moron might have a point...but alas

I believe forests it the higher elevations down wind from the (now) rustbelt did suffer from it.

Of course the crooks in DC took care of that problem with NAFTA.

That said it just killed off the weak trees allowing for new growth and that combined with the demise of heavy industry up wind solved the problem.

Acid rain isn't debunked. That's just another lie by denialists.

Nobody said it didn’t exist, liar.

Remember Acid Rain?​

Not particularly. Is that anything like purple rain? But I do remember blotter acid, microdot, window-pane, and orange sunshine!

In the final analysis, acid rain really only amounts to a slightly lower pH.

WOW, that's a really vintage scare like I had actually forgot all about that acid rain scare!
