I always like polemic articles that makes people start posting on it, it is a rare opportunity of deepen things.Originally Posted by zombie67
About the article, I see it as being very carefully once the pesticide companies are very important on the USA economics and very powerful to have as enemy.
I can understand the unusual care that this article has and that for itself is the best answer for our fears.
This is not the first article, on the scientific community about pesticides harming the environment as we had in bee/pesticide case. Scientific American is trying to avoid going to court and having an endless fighting with a giant that includes some pharmaceutical companies. That is how I see it.
The tones of pesticides that go to the rivers and from there to the ocean is absolutely alarming as the plastics that are visible and therefor subject to a better and more objective analysis, the pesticides are hidden on the body of every living things till is to late.
We are harming the environment so bad and on so many ways that now is difficult to say with accuracy what is doing what. Is in that fault that the lawyers and companies scientist come to confuse things a bit more speaking of cause and effect.
I am no scientist but I am very alert to the way our world is going ...
We need to start thinking if we need so many pesticides and so many plastic bags as many other things.
