Given the track record of other things we introduced to the environment in mass quantities only to realize later were horrifyingly detrimental (CFCs and tetraethyl lead, etc) -- i think people are right that we should not take such a thing lightly

Not that it really matters, climate driven ecological collapse will probably make it irrelevant by the time it would matter
