But luckily we won't be dealing with that.

Although its effects won't work like carborane,

the end result of acid rain will be much,

Unlike normal rain, that is slightly acidic,

acid rain contains high levels of nitric and sulfuric acids.

This makes its acidity level a pH of around four,

Chemicals and pollutants that are caused from

buring fossil fuels enter our atmosphere.

Luckily, a little bit of acid rain doesn't cause much damage.

We've already had instances like this before.

But what would happen if rain was always too acidic?

you can at least be happy with the fact that

Meaning, if acid rain touches your skin, it won't burn you.

The main thing that will suffer is the environment.

Acid rain can severely weaken and eventually kill trees.

It penetrates the ground, draining valuable nutrients from the soil.

Some trees will have the waxy coating on their leaves stripped away,

leaving the tree unable to create energy through photosynthesis.

What else will be hurt besides the environment?

other materials will slowly degrade due to the rain.

With acid rain, these things will erode much faster than they do now.

Entire cities will crumble over time due to the acid rain.

it will eventually end up in our lakes, rivers, and oceans.

All this acidity in the water will gravely harm the fish that live in it.

Some fish will be able to survive better than others,

And if any fish are born when the water is too acidic,

they'll have a good chance of being born with deformities.

due to that fish missing from the food chain.

due to their environment completely changing.

They won't be able to adapt quickly enough.

this will seriously affect our food supply.

Fish are a major part of over one billion people's diets.

you were going to get out of a WHAT IF scenario

All the increased sulfur dioxide that will be in the air

will cause you some severe lung problems,

and huge parts of our food supply disappearing,

One way we could stop this would be to geo-engineer the weather

That's how we got into this situation in the first place.

Maybe, we could charge companies to pollute.

But we'll leave that story, for another WHAT IF.
