- So, you believe that forests are dying fromm acid rain? Golly, that's
- going to surprise a lot of scientists. Pray tell, upon WHAT scientific
- evidence do you base this on? We are breathless ...
-
- In the meantime, to further this interesting debunking, I've ordered
- through the library a political analysis -
-
- "Reports on the failure of Congress and the Bush administration
- to study the National Acid Precipitation Assesment Project
- (NAPAP) report before voting on the Clean Air act. A $500 million,
- ten year study initiated by Congress which concluded that the
- President's crash program to cut sulfur dioxide emissions has no
- ecological, health, or economic justification. By W.T. Brookes.
-
- and a scientific one on acid rain on lakes and such -
-
- [Analysis] based the Environmental Protection Agency's National
- Surface Water Survey (NSWS) to indetidy the role of acidic
- deposition relative to other factors in causing acidic conditions
- in an estimated 1180 lakes and 4570 streams in the United States.
- Science, 5/24/91.
-
- W.T. Brooks quotes from the Science article in making his point.
-
- Y'all go ahead and get your copies too. I know that it is such a drag for
- all you PC(tm) types to have to deal with facts, but hey, life's tough.
-
-
-
- BTW - for other literature-ignorami, "Oh sink me" is the line the Scarlet
- Pimpernel used when told a lie of such vast proportions that his only
- socially correct response (when he was playing the fop) was to feign
- great amusement.

- These opinions are MINE, and you can't have 'em! (But I'll rent 'em cheap ...)
