It is barren desert for miles around anyway.. I don't think you meant that the sulfuric acid caused the desertification. It didn't. I would be prohibitive to waste acid. I am not sure that report is correct. Sulfuric acid is 75 dollars a ton. Whatever they have they would regenerate as much as possible. Now if your saying they are discharging low PH water, perhaps. But water is a scarce as hen's teeth in Chile, so that does not make sense either. And it would be child's play to bubble it thru limestone and neutralize it and precipitate the metals in the process, so it does not sound right again.

The real question is, does it cause global warming? Will it cause another ice age? Where will the Penguins play? Whose on first?
