Acid Rain occurs when pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide from power plant emissions, metal smelting, motor vehicles and industry, combine with water in the atmosphere to form droplets of very weak acid.
Atmospheric drops combine with a range of chemical pollutants such as carbon and sulphur dioxide to form rain, mist or snow that is more acid than normal. It can cause damage to plants many thousands of kilometres away from where it formed.
Proposals include mirrors in space to reflect sunlight and stop it entering the atmosphere, dumping sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, putting iron in the oceans to stimulate the growth of phytoplankton, ...
