Some good news - Acidity levels in atmosphere is down

[packman]

Greenland ice sheet core samples reveal:

"...acid pollution in the atmosphere from industry has fallen dramatically since manmade acid pollution took off in the 1930s and peaked in the 1960s and 70s. In the 1970s, both Europe and the United States adopted the ‘The clean air act amendments’, which required filters in factories, thus reducing acid emissions and this is what we can now see the results of. The pollution of acid in the atmosphere is now almost down to the level it was before the pollution really took off in the 1930s"

1. I wrote a paper on this in college....

The atmosphere recovered even faster than predicted once we stopped pumping so much crap into it.

Unfortunately CO2 would take longer to reabsord.
