The first recorded acid rain events date back to the 17th century, but it wasn’t until the early 1970s that it became a huge problem. Today, while the global community seems focused on dealing with climate change, what’s important about the story of acid rain is not only can it teach us how we can tackle global climate issues but also why we’re so bad at doing it. Speakers: Derek Eamus – Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney. Charles Driscoll – Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Syracuse University, New York.
