What is the Canadian goverment doing to prevent acid rain?

Question

I know that acid rain is created by sulfur dioxyde and I think nitrogen oxide, and I'm pretty sure that the first comes from some warehouses and that the second, I think, comes from cars. So what is the goverment doing to stop the acid rain? Or are they doing nothing?

Answer 1

They're not doing anything to prevent acid rain because you can't prevent acid rain, because there would still be acid rain that comes from other places like the US, Mexico and other parts of the world.

The state of California (they're always doing "green" earth friendly stuff), spent a few million on a program to reduce acid rain, and it didn't help reduce it ... but it did p**s of tax payers.

Answer 2

Wrong!! The both cases from cars. The SO2 is the burning gasoline that came from oil that had sulfur in it.

The NO2 also comes from cars ,but the environmentalist retarded our spark to reduce the cylinder temp which also reduces the NO2. There is another producer of NO2 and that is lightning . Each strike can make 500 lb. of NO2. Then it rains and removes most of it. It is a plant fertilizer.

Answer 3

The Canadian Government is reacting to symptoms and trying to develop policy without the science being completed.

Solar radiation and the same UV that burn our skin is causing buildings to generate extreme heat the building isn't designed or insulated for. We are reacting to the heat symptoms with air conditioning. Air conditioning is in fact refrigeration associated with depletion of the ozone and that allows more UV which generates more heat, etc.

Air conditioning is a big electrical load and requires more electrical generations as a result. More demand means more emissions and more acid rain as a result. This is a reality and the link below the document sent to Western US Governors as well as Western Premiers.

Here is the press release sent to the UN Meeting in Bali http://www.thermoguy.com/pdfs/Press_Rele...

Canadian Government is not preventing acid rain but they are reporting the symptoms of the mercury emissions associated with coal generated electrical. Follow the links from the documents above and see what you can do to lessen global warming

Answer 4

IDK i think that they are doing nothing

Answer 5

Sulfur dioxide comes from burning coal or bunker oil in ships or power plants. It also comes from diesel engines and cars as well as home heating systems that use fuel oil. Nitrogen oxide like Co2 is fertilizer for plants and the only environmental effect either of them have is to make plants grow better. Sulfur dioxide on the other hand kills green growing things.
