Comment on How the Disaster of "Forever Chemicals" Was Kept Secret

And yet, here we are just pouring glyphosate on public lands by the tons…

Nothing changes even if we know about these chemicals

Glyphosate isn't a forever chemical, is it?

Its not specifically a PFA, but it s a cancer producing chemical which we still approve to spray on our land and foods.

Also, we are in the middle of insect biodiversity freefall. Summary: A global meta-analysis covering 166 surveys at 1,676 sites between 1925 and 2018 estimated terrestrial insect abundance fell about 0.9% per year on average—roughly 9% per decade, 24–25% over 30 years, or about 50% over 75 years https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aax9931

I’m dismissing this as “whataboutism”.
