# Sulfuric Acid on The No Agenda Show Sulfuric Acid comes up in 5 chapters across 5 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from August 2010 to July 2017. - **Chapters:** 5 - **Episodes:** 5 - **Discussed:** August 2010 – July 2017 - **Related topics:** [Acid Rain](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/acid-rain.md), [Stephen Hawking](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/stephen-hawking.md), [Sulfur Dioxide](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sulfur-dioxide.md), [Venus](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/venus.md), [Bbc](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bbc.md), [Cap And Trade](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cap-and-trade.md), [Carbon Tax](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/carbon-tax.md), [Climate Change](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/climate-change.md), [Environment](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/environment.md), [Geoengineering](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/geoengineering.md) ## Chapters 1–5 of 5 ### Stephen Hawking's Climate Change Warnings - **Episode:** [946: High Falutin](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/946-high-falutin.md) - **Published:** 2017-07-13 - **Time:** 2:21:34–2:25:58 - **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/946-high-falutin/chapter/stephen-hawking-s-climate-change-warnings.md In a BBC interview, Stephen Hawking warns that President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement could push Earth toward a tipping point, eventually making it like Venus with 250-degree temperatures and sulfuric acid rain. The scientific validity of these specific claims is questioned, with suggestions that Hawking's public statements may be influenced or scripted by others due to his advanced ALS.

The hosts question the alarmism of the statement and discuss the specific synthesized voice software Hawking uses.

Keith admitted that current sulfuric acid pollution already kills a million people annually but argued that adding a "tiny fraction" more for geoengineering would be a useful "ugly tech fix." The hosts mock the scientist for failing to see the irony in his proposal.

Bush to combat acid rain, is analyzed as a precursor to modern carbon markets. While the program was considered successful, the hosts argue that current climate initiatives are insincere versions of pollution control designed to move money around. They further claim the world is entering a period of global cooling or a "mini ice age."

They reference an article from "Green Left" claiming the SO2 scheme was a failure that did little to address acid rain or ocean acidification, suggesting the current climate policy is based on a flawed precedent.
