Acid rain damage in South Dakota cited as climate warning
Original: RE: https:// kolektiva.social/@emsenn/11573 2729999058690 World-class phrasing by @ emsenn : When I lived in South Dakot
A comment describing limestone crumbling from acid rain in South Dakota has struck a chord with climate-focused readers. The writer, who once lived in the state, argues that chemical dissolution of rock is not a normal hardship, a bad cycle, or a familiar stressor, but a physical sign of environmental damage. Others are praising the phrasing and sharing it as a stark way to communicate climate change.
Why now: The vivid first-hand description of acid rain damage offers people a concrete, memorable way to talk about climate change.
