Acid rain had a devastating impactAcid rain is still a major concernAcid rain had less of an impact as suspectedAcid rain damages were underestimated
Was acid rain a legitimate concern ?
And in the 80s the acid rain scare ( all the trees on the planet would be dead in 10 years and everyone exposed to the rain would would contract skin cancer or worse ) . Thank god we had Reagan who refused to invest billions of dollars until a group of studies were completed although the media tried to crucify him as an anti - environmental monster for waiting for an answer from real science rather than blindly accept politically motivated junk science . We all know what happened to the new ice age , temperatures returned to normal and we also know that all the trees are still here none the worse for wear .
