That's scary stuff. Especially because there's basically no going back.
I remember seeing a documentary about orcas, which are basically being poisoned and starved to death by us in certain locations. It was a Jean-Michel Cousteau documentary, and although I can't find the video I remember, he had his children tested for poisons. If I recall correctly, his son actually tested a bit high for mercury, and Jean-Michel Cousteau was emotionally shell-shocked because he is one who perfectly understands the dangers.

It is absolutely shocking how we have just completely destroyed the environment and the ocean over the past two centuries. Whales off the cost of Thailand have had to adopt new feeding techniques because the water is so polluted and hypoxic, fish stay very close to the surface to get more oxygen.

It isn't hyperbole just how moronic humans are with our technology. For every problem we "solve", we create hoards of new problems with often devastating effects.
