wasn’t the acid rain scare just another environmental hoax? After 5 decades of enviro-scare tactics, I’m having trouble keeping track
I can tell you have never been to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It is a lot better there and the srounding lakes than it was but it will take many years of work to clean it all up.
It’s real, but like most environmental issues overblown. In some areas industrial pollution devastated some lakes with acid rain. Young people are taught that pollution is worse than ever, when in fact it’s mostly been cleaned up in America. I’m wondering what lakes? How many and where exactly?
I remember the crystal clarity of the lakes in the Adirondacks and their lack of any fish life back in the mid-eighties, supposedly caused by the acid levels being too high. So, in my opinion and subject to correction, the reports of sulfuric acid rain derived from the burning of high sulfur coal in the power plants and steel mills to the west may have been legitimate. Having grown up in NE Ohio I can also recall the day glow chemical spew which went by the name of the Cuyahoga River as it winded through the industrial Flats of Cleveland. At one time the EPA had real work to do and was not the out of control agency it is now.
