  • It's perilous and foolhardy for the average citizen to remain ignorant about global warming, say, or ozone depletion, air pollution, toxic and radioactive wastes, acid rain, topsoil erosion, tropical deforestation, exponential population growth. Jobs and wages depend on science and technology. -- Carl Sagan
  • Saying sulfates do not cause acid rain is the same as saying that smoking does not cause lung cancer. -- Andrew L. Lewis, Jr.
  • Canada is a country whose main exports are hockey players and cold fronts. Our main imports are baseball players and acid rain. -- Pierre Trudeau
  • Imagine if Congress always put the interests of polluters ahead of the health of our families. Our rivers and lakes would be choked with sewage. Acid rain would pour down from smog-filled skies. Hundreds of thousands more of our neighbors, friends, and loved ones would be victims of cancer, heart disease, and asthma. -- Jeff Merkley
  • Bring down Mike Mann and we can bring down the IPCC, they reckoned. It is a classic technique for the deniers movement, I have discovered, and I don't mean only those who reject the idea of global warming but those who insist that smoking doesn't cause cancer or that industrial pollution isn't linked to acid rain. -- Michael E. Mann
  • When it comes to acid rain or oil spills or depleted fisheries or tainted groundwater or fluorocarbon propellants or radiation leaks or sexually transmitted diseases, national frontiers are simple irrelevant.

  • From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us. -- Harry Browne
  • First deal with your own tears; tomorrow do something about acid rain. -- Betty Jane Wylie
  • When I was a kid, we never heard of smog, ozone depletion, acid rain, green house gasses. -- Dennis Weaver
  • Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed. -- Tom Petty
  • We know that acid rain has had no significant environmental effect on trees or forests in the United States... It is based on popular myths and half-baked theories. -- Haley Barbour
