Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that burning coal causes acid rain by releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that acid rain is caused when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, largely released by burning fossil fuels such as coal, are emitted into the atmosphere and react with water to form sulfuric and nitric acids.
