Tldr: instead of disposing of toxic industrial waste products, Dow Chemical thought “our toxic waste kills plants, if we convince farmers and suburbanites they need to kill plants, they’ll dump our toxic waste on their land and pay us for it!” The rest is the history of ecocide.

    I haven’t said that I’ll decide which humans but I reckon if we could squash ourselves back into our original range in Northern Africa, that’d be great for the rest of the planets ecosystems.

    Might have to lose a few to fit.

      Sounds too much like ‘the war on weeds’ only for humans. Still no thanks. We can grow smaller but lets take it easy. Also if we squash ourselves back who is gonna fight the invasives (/s because I don’t think the term even makes sense)
