Introduction

Michael Hobbs: acid rain was something that existed in the 70s and then it stopped existing because I certainly never heard about it when I was growing up. Sarah Marshall: One of the things that I did not know about acid rain until I started researching this episode is that acid rain plays a starring role in climate change denial. Michael Hobbs: The nice thing about acid rain is that everything that we've learned in the last couple episodes gets totally flipped on its head. So in this episode, Sarah, everyone listens to the nice man. No. George H. W. Bush is the good guy. And capitalism solves everything.
