Back in the 60s and 70s and 80s there was a big push to reduce atmospheric pollution by those same chemicals because they caused acid rain! It was a very real thing that killed aquatic life in freshwater lakes, weakened and killed trees and damaged buildings. The pollution that caused acid rain has been dramatically reduced in the US, Canada and Europe, but is increasing in other areas. Some institutions still cover their statues and outdoor artwork to protect them from damage caused by acid rain! How can this spraying of chemicals in the atmosphere be a good thing? They must not be aware of the history or don't care.

Some scientists are even saying this is a dumb idea because it will cause acid rain.
