Man, that's gotta be hell on any wildlife left living in the areas in which it's used. (I mean, I get the necessity, but dang)

Tillers too when this war ends (with Russia's defeat) and it's time to plant crops.

the whole war is really bad for the environment. not just locally. tanks don't run on solar. burning fuel depots, etc..

we need to stop putin and his enablers.

There’s also a good chance a lot of these areas are smattered with land mines too.

Well I mean the psychopathic and narcissistic rich bastards in charge aren't gonna feel the effects so why should they care?

You are devastatingly correct on all points. We are AT BEST a few years from the cliff. If we do avoid the cliff, it will be so extremely painful for every single person on the planet that our societies will crumble. There will be a massive population crash as industrialized agriculture is made largely impossible. The chaos in this situation is impossible to overstate.

Mind you, if we don't avoid the cliff, we still go through that, but worse.

Then the crops grow, and they’re all full of microscopic glass fibre. Then the foodstuffs are shipped to the world. Then the foods are eaten and the GF joins the microplastics in our bloodstream.
