i have no doubt. i remember back some years ago when it dawned on me the danger of all those manure “lagoons” overflowing into waterways, drinking water sources, and the general community during extreme weather events. the long term and perennially expanding public health disaster of those is so fucking extreme, and i only seem to recall limited reporting on it from fringe/independent media. those things are timebombs under the best of circumstances… under extreme weather, it’s like napalm dropped on a gas station.
the sheer brilliance of spending millions to concentrate liquid shit in a pond to rot and fester as a public health nightmare, but also extract and burn planet killing fossil fuels to create expensive fertilizers.
industrial agriculture, as always, takes an elegant, efficient solution developed over millions of years and turns it into two highly toxic, existential nightmares.
Extra fun when hurricanes pass through!
