The perceived harmful nature of acid rain and production mechanism for high lake and river acidity are criticised in context of proposed low US acid rain control federal expenditure. Views are based on a November, 1983 Hudson Institute study - A Perspective on Current Acid Rain Issues. High lake and river acidity is viewed as: often natural; generally due to local deficiencies in natural filtering and neutralizing media; not due to the minor acidity contributor - industrial pollution; and possibly partly due to successful, recent historical US and worldwide forest fire prevention. Acid rain forest damage is seen as a scientifically unsubstantiated and probably illusory threat.
