Fritz Haber... For the Haber-Bosch process or chemical weapons?

During WW1 he killed millions by developing chlorine gas, among other poisoness gasses, but he saves billions by discovering how to synthesize fertilizer. Without that discovery, most of the world population would have died from starvation, if not all.

You can lean to scientists like Norman Borlaug who saved billions without becoming a merchant of death.

Yeah but where's the fun in that. Than Jesus died for nothing haha

Fossil fuel based fertilizer has also contributed to global inequality - synthetic fertilizer is 3-4 times cheaper in Europe than Africa.

And the cheapness of nitrogen fertilizer has led to massive problems with too much fertilizer ending up in the ocean, sparking algae blooms and subsequent oxygen starvation. Just look at the Baltic Sea.

atmospheric nitrogen is a fossil fuel
the fertiliser made itself more expensive in africa

run-off is a huge problem, though

Yeah but who cares about Africa and climate, rich white people have stocked up supermarkets with products from around the world. Like New Zealand wine next to Chile wine in stores in France. Like.... Ok... Australian mineral water in the Netherlands... With the highest quality tap water ever...
