It seems to take about 50 years of headlines (2 generations) for environmental concerns to get through to the public enough to make an impact. This is actually a really underappreciated thing. What's the next environmental catastrophe in 50 years? (optimistically assuming we somehow start acting on and survive the current global warming disaster that was discovered in 70sa/80s)

Wait till you read about carbon dioxide!

>Not sure the DDT ranks that high of concern.

The studies linking aquatic harm are actually better than the studies linking terrestrial or avian harm. As it's poorly soluble in water it just sorta hangs around and kills fish. This was known all the way back in the 1940's https://spo.nmfs.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/legacy-pdfs/CI...

DDT has a long persistence in the environment, longer than mustard.
