Hey Doc, I wonder what ever happened to the
ACID RAIN.
CO2 + Rain water => Carbolic acid. It was supposed to kill the fresh sprigs off the tips of the evergreens in the Colorado Rockies and dissolve the freizes on the Parthenon.
I guess the federal funding must'a ran out.....

Acid rain ...
At the power plant where my dad worked, over the years they made changes to address this. Changed the kind of coal burned and used technology to scrub the emissions as best they could.
So, I guess we don’t hear as much about it because we worked on the problem ...?
At that time we were also supposedly heading into another ice age.

Check your chemistry lesson.....carbolic acid is phenol. Carbonic acid is a different critter.

Do you mean SO2 and rainwater? Sulfuric Dioxide+rainwater=sulfuric acid.
