Rainwater is not actually getting less acidic. it is actually getting more acidic! the more greenhouse gases we use (e.g: carbon dioxide) the more acidic our rain gets! This occurs because the more fossil fuels and greenhouse gases get thrown carelessly into the oceans, lakes and rivers; the more acidic they get. This means that when the water evaporates into the air, it is more acidic then it's usual neutral (7 on the pH scale). This is also affecting global warming and killing the sea animals by taking all the oxygen from the water and replacing it with harmful substances.
