Acid rain and global warming are inseparable since the later is a direct beneficiary of the former. Acid pollution has one surprising effect that may be beneficial. Sulfates in the upper atmosphere reflect some sunlight out into space, and thus tend to slow down global warming. Scientists believe that acid pollution may have delayed the onset of warming by several decades in the middle of the 20th century. Whatever the case, it has been scientifically proven that acid rain and global warming cannot be separated if we are to make any progress in minimizing the possible harmful effects created by global warming.
“…..it has been scientifically proven the acid rain and global warming…. ”
I am surprised!
Especially if you are promoting education and learning and surely if you wish readers to take you seriously, you would find some sort of scientific article or paper to back up that assertion.

A proof that Acid rain and global warming are inseperable is contained in a research by Dr Vincent Gauci in Scotland, from the Open University’s Department of Earth Sciences and showed that other bacteria which thrive on sulphur compete with the methane-makers. His works basically proofs the benefits of acid rain in a world world where global warming is a growing concern.
Dr Gauci findings are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the US. According to his work, Acid rain has such a big impact that it shuts down 30 to 40% of the methane in wetlands that are affected by this pollution,small amounts of pollution may also have a positive effect in suppressing this important greenhouse gas and they point to how complex the Earth system is. Their numbers are so boosted by acid rain that they can significantly reduce methane generation from wetlands.
You miss my point entirely.
Although stating that the source is a news story is better then nothing, newspapers are hardly purveyors or reliable interpreters of the truth.
In this case it would have been appropriate to quote Dr Gauci’s paper.

We completely agree with you. It’s true some newspapers are agents of propaganda sometimes to the government they represent but however our intention was to let you know that we do not just tell stories on some serious scientific issues like the one we just discussed and at least the message has been sent. We would appreciate more of your comments on our articles no matter how critical they may seem. Your feedback has really given us room to improve. Thanks once again. We appreciate your comments and suggestions.
Yours faithfully
