The World Solved Acid Rain. We Can Also Solve Climate Change

Lessons from how we tackled acid rain can be applied to our world today

acid rain is still really bad in my hometown of hsinchu, taiwan. wondering what the cause of that is when it’s not a problem elsewhere….

Not everywhere, we didn’t. Woodside Energy’s gas facilities at Murujuga, Western Australia, threaten local rock engravings through acid rain, and the world’s climate through CO2 emissions But we can fix both! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/09/...

Race and power collide in a fight over sacred rock art in remote Australia

Near a dry, red rock peninsula on Australia's far western coast, a dusty highway separates two communities with contrasting fortunes tied to an ancient land.

Acid rain and the ozone layer depletion were the two big environmental issues when I was in high school. Both fixed. Maybe we need to bring back Jimmy Carter?

IMO, let’s start with the enormous and near impossible task of trying to keep to 1.5C before we talk about fixing it. Can’t possibly bring carbon levels down until we get to zero first.

That’s amazing… it’s almost rare nowadays to see an actually uplifting news statement. I remember how depressing it was to see the Adirondack streams without any fish in them because of acid rain.

thinkin about this here. its one thing to mandate an expense on an companies to solve an environmental problem their process is creating. Its a much taller order to basically get rid of those companies, because its product is itself the problem

But will we

There's money to be made in being optimistic about climate change.

wait so does this mean i can go feel the rain on my face again... dont lie to me

We don't promote this enough! There was a problem and we were actually able to do something about it- we can do it again.
