    Atrazine. The first most common remains glyphosate (Roundup).

      It’s ok. We’ve genetically modified our crops to resist glyphosate. They probably just weren’t eating enough corn. /s

    Banned in the EU since 20 years, in Germany more than 30 years. Strange that this is so different in the US

    We are kind of fucked. Global warming will cause what is known as global greening, where plants thrive due to more CO2 in the atmosphere. Good for crops, also good for weeds, which is why strong herbicides are already in use.

      Is the greening effect predicted to offset some of the additional CO2 in the atmosphere?

      I assume yes, but not in any appreciable amount?

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
