re: #683 ausador

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!

I didn’t think KSK wrote that acid rain was not a problem at all. The point is that it turned out not to be the apocalyptic problem that we were then served. IIRC there are plenty of place in the world where acid rains are still a serious problem. Just not events of human extinction.

There’s also the problem that previous apocalyptic predictions about AGW have also not materialized. While I am not saying it means there’s no AGW, it does sort of take the sting out of the trust the scientific consensus argument. I thought I already did that.
