Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals

Within only a couple of generations, and largely unnoticed, this startling episode is unique to our generation. Far and away, it exceeds global warming emissions.

climate change, as accelerated by fossil fuel overuse, is very real, and way bad.

but i've long held that it is not humanity's most pressing issue. 

two issues are more important, imho;

governance.

deep long-term poisoning of the biosphere (including nukes).

without a handle on our self-governance, we can't do anything else right, and will end up with, well, what we got - elites, poverty, bloated kyoto-exempt military death sectors, etc.  i mean, why is space tourism even allowed?  and let me guess, aerospace is probably also not part of kyoto and it's ilk.

the life force can adapt in it's environment better, in some ways, to changes that have been happening since forever, involving heat/cold, light, need to move, etc, than it can to all the poisoning and genetic manipulation-for-profit. 

the ice retreats, and the land is good to go.  first in, little plants and little spiders.  but poison gets circulated around and mixed in and there it is in everything, for a couple hun'red tousand years.

it's very handy to have folks focused on the the third most important thing, climate change, in a way that isn't going to change anything, including climate change, but make everything worse.  electric cars!  everyone working from home!  we're gunna hafta dig up a lot more poisons to do that.
