Climate Change, Chinese Hoax or Impending Apocolypse?

the thing that concerns me most is not that it is going to kill us all. i am not sure how far we are from that point, but i am not afraid of death. pain is reserved for the living.
i am concerned about the rampant diseases that are nearly impossible to get away from in today's reality. i am constantly wondering what it would be like to be able to just have easy access to healthy foods that don't cause horrible illnesses. i wonder what it was like being a human hundreds (or thousands) of years ago and not be in pain all the time. not be kept alive with diseases that you treat with drugs that just cause new sickness to embed itself in your DNA.
i miss being able to eat seafood without thinking "wow i am filling my body with insanely toxic micro plastics"

That is a a pretty bad and weak argument. Like, hundreds (not thousands, thousands is worse) years ago, people lived to their 40s with the same problems than today (if not worse, and IF they get to live past 2 or 10 years old), thats why all that "drugs" were created in the first place, there're no sickness not illneses that could "embed" in the ADN, and the illneses and plagues they lived hundreds years ago were horrifying and misstreated. Medical science is way different now than then...

Now, about eating microplastics, etc, the thing is that there should be a more strict lineup of what we eat, and how industries process it, there's a need of better industry practices regarding contamination but, as jack35999 says, it has a lot to do with finances and how we assume our way of living. I mean, it's sad, but just by eating a little less meat in western countries and having less to zero children, environmental damage and famine would be better controlled...

life expectancy is a big part of my argument. natural diseases used to kill people. now, that doesn't happen nearly as often, which is both good and bad. people are living a lot longer (a huge contributing factor to environmental and economic disaster), and they are very often on medication that is just causing different illness. plastic is a HUGE problem in many ecosystems now, but especially the ocean, where it breaks down into micro plastics that adsorb toxins throughout all the seawater in the world, get eaten by fish, and end up on our plates.
not only that, but decades of industrialism and unnatural farming practices have stripped most soil of any nutrients. we are consuming way more calories than we used to, and way less nutrients. on top of that, most people are hard pressed to find foods that are not pre-packaged in styrofoam, plastic, glossed cardboard, or other materials that are hard to break down and release toxins into the environment. and then if the packaging wasn't bad enough, the food inside is full of strange, synthetic materials that are not readily digested by the human body.
there is no balance anymore. we cannot have safety from deadly diseases like the plague, without having highly toxic drugs in our systems, materials in and surrounding our "food", or actual food that is highly nutritious, instead of bred to be full of sugar, and then covered with wax.
i realize my original post was not the most sensical argument, i guess i was just exhausted when i wrote it.

edit: also, perhaps humans are actually supposed to have a life expectancy of 40, naturally?
