Beyond environmental damage, plastic is hypothesized to be one of the main drivers behind the drastically decreasing sperm counts in human males. I think we are only just uncovering the tip of the iceberg for the damage that plastic can do with respect to hormone disruption in the human body

- knodi123 4y agoyeah, okay, that's a fine example - so, plastic pollution is bad, because sperm counts. But... at the moment, fertility rates due to sperm count pose absolutely no threat to our species, nor do we foresee that changing. We should absolutely address this! But we don't need to "uncover" or "explore the tip of the iceberg" when it comes to the impacts of climate change - they're big and catastrophic. That's the difference between the two crises.
