> Same with plastics

Plastics are playing the long game. They have to turn into micro- and nanoplastics first and may then enact undesired, unforeseen biological functions, just like BPA [1].

Not even talking about weaponizing this stuff...

It seems implausible to me that plastics are going to kill all humanity. If the paper you linked makes that case, then I will read it, but I didn't get that from skimming the abstract.
