Acid Rain Comic

I thought that this comic by T. McCracken was pretty humorous because the woman in it has no idea how acid rain works. While in theory it would make sense to counteract acid rain with alkaline rain (in other words, basic rain), it doesn't work like that. We should definitely worry about acid rain because not only does it poison our drinking water, but it also deteriorates statues and buildings. Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions in the atmosphere.
