But still a lot of things do, pesticides following the rain cycles is a good example. We're killing the biodiversity and ourselves with it. We already almost entirely rely on synthetically amending fields with petrol byproducts to feed ourselves, tomorrow we might have to manually pollinate crops when insects won't be enough to do the job.

PFAS are a problem, co2 is a problem, but we have dozens of other very big problems that are partially, if not entirely, obscured

I assume that means we have to use fertilizer to ensure we can produce enough food crop.
