re: #672 KSK

I still remember Germany in the early 1980s where an incredible hysteria raged on about dying forests. Acid rain was causing the “Waldsterben” and most (German) scientists agreed that there wouldn’t be many trees left by the turn of the century.

It didn’t happen. The forests are still there. And many of those scientists do not want to be reminded of their alarmist models.

Wow, what a load of misdirection that paragraph is, so acid rain just stopped all on it’s own? No steps were taken to reduce acid and sulpher emissions? No, of course not, the scientists were just wrong about the whole thing!

Try telling the whole story, the same thing was happening here and led to the “Clean Air Act” which pretty much stopped it cold.
