If rainwater is no longer safe to drink, what about plants and animals that consume it? - Are we just perpetually fucked?

I'm going off stuff I read in The Skeptical Environmentalist, but it was a long time ago and it's definitely not my area of expertise.

Edit: And the zone was over the Antarctic or some shit like that, basically it would have had to have gotten much, much larger to have actually effected anything.


By the way, since we're talking about oil and plastic, it really is amazing stuff. Firstly, any libtard tells you you should hate fossil fuels because smoke bad, point out to them that this is literally 100% organic energy, you're burning biomass that's been banked up in the ground. I like to call oil "dinosaur stew."

Secondly, it frees up massive amounts of acreage for other things (like wild habitat) since we:
1) Aren't growing fodder for livestock
2) Aren't growing corn for ethanol
3) Aren't using land for the shit that PLASTIC REPLACES

Leather, cotton, wood, even to an extent metals that would require mining. Plastic lets us just suck it out of the ground and make everything. How incredible!

And the kicker is that all this trash turns out to have things that eat it. The Chernobyl radiation has gone down way faster than expected due to fungi that literally eat the radiation. The big oil rig disaster in the Gulf went away faster than expected because plankton and stuff was munching on the oil. And they've even found moths that eat plastic.

Why? Because oil is just beef stew, plastic is just cheese. It's fossil fuel, ie fossil, ie organic, ie of course something would want to eat it.

Incredible.

I think people expect long life free of illness to be the norm these days?

Great I guess, but I've got bad news for you.

Wasn't it in the 20th Century heart disease/cardiovascular issues the main cause of death? With the development/widespread availability of blood pressure medications and statins, you can have unhealthy people (like CWC) not die from cardiovascular issues as often. If anything, various cancer rates increasing only makes sense as that's a disease we don't really have a cure for (and more people will die from those instead).

Animals haven't. The issue is that most of the animals that actively drink rainwater

The rainwater has a forever chemical in it; and the animals that drink it, also have that chemical in them now. It increases the risk of cancers, and is not good for you overall, but most animals die fairly young - compared to us - anyway and so it doesn't really impact them all that much.
The EDC-2 paper gave a fantastic breakdown of all the shit that's been put out in the last 10 years.
We're being actively poisoned by large industrial and chemical conglomerates; and they greenwash the fuck out of it by lobbying for 'carbon emissions' and other completely worthless metrics, rather than addressing the fact that they actively ship out an industrial byproduct that causes cancer and ask you cook with it goy.

Thanks for the link, I read some and book marked it for future reading.

In the conclusion of that publication (from 2015) it states this:
  • Future research needs to focus on sex differences in endocrine disruption of the brain and to consider both age of exposure and age at assessment in interpreting results.
The tinfoil in me says that maybe things are real real bad now and the post 2015 push for gender spectrumism and getting rid of male/female definitions even in some medical settings is a really weird way to hide this type of data, but who knows. We are so fucked.
