I don’t remember any of the specifics anymore but it boils down to: Trees and plants died in masses, scientists and the general population got together and we changed what caused it.
I work for a company that, among other things, helps monitor NOx and SOx emissions at power plants and other polluting facilities. Trust me, this is still something we’re still very worried about and barely keeping a handle on
Really? I thought it was mostly solved by regulations that require filters at the industrial sites (and aren’t those used in Diesel cars, too?).
Actually, what happens with the gunked-up filter material? Can the captured sulfur and nitrogen be used? I think you can use nitrogen as a fertilizer?
We may have to go back to having it for a while though to put a break on climate change. For all the bad that acid rain caused, at least it cooled the world
Acidic rain.

Good one. Although was more before the millenium afaik
True, i looked up a bit more information on it and apparently it was at its height around the 80s, so I may have misremembered time a little bit.
