Acid Rain Farce

Re: "Acid Rain: Where's the Science?"--by Terence Corcoran--Oct/18/97--The
Globe and Mail
Dear Editor,
Once again, Terence Corcoran admirably did what most journalists shamefully neglect
to do--unmask the dishonest and destructive nature of the environmental movement.
Instead of environmentalists admitting that the evidence overwhelmingly shows that
their theory on acid rain is wrong, they stick to their dogma at ever greater expense
to taxpayers.
It is an outrage that the government-backed Acidifying Emissions Task Group would
conduct a study on Acid Rain, and make recommendations that would cost billions of
dollars, yet ignore the most comprehensive study on Acid Rain ever conducted (the
U.S. National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program or NAPAP)--a $540-million, 10-year
government study that demonstrates that the Acid Rain theory is false. The fact that
a member of the Task Group claims to have never heard of the NAPAP study truly boggles
the mind.
When are people going to realize that the environmental movement is engaged in a
dishonest and destructive campaign to seize political power? Have people become so
gullible and selfless that they passively sit back and let environmentalists manipulate,
loot and enslave them? One would at least expect the noisy social activists currently
blasting governments for cutbacks on social programs to be up in arms about this
wastage of billions of dollars on one of many environmental doomsday myths.
Best premises,
Glenn Woiceshyn
