Seems there is acid rain denial among some folks who don't live in the areas where forests were decimated by acid rain. I didn't know acid rain denial was such a big thing!


Environmental regulations reduced SO2 which reduced sulfuric acid in rain. What a difference 30 years made!

Note that rising pH means falling acidity. Every increase of 1 in pH equates to a reduction by a factor of 10 in acid concentration. pH of 7 is neutral.

@ElwoodBlues in Pennsylvania in the seventies there were some really bare years in the woods, then death everywhere, tent caterpillars taking over, more bare years.... But people would never propose "solutions" to something like that! Industry was God to them but the forest wasn't squat to them. And libs were already so, so much fun to torture!
