ITT: mankind's biggest screw-ups

ive seen one of those duststorms in real life.
they're pretty neat, especially before they hit you and they just look like a towering wave sweeping across the horizon

I'll tell you what's screwed up
>Dust bowl is used as an example of one of "the dangers of capitalism"
>When the overfarming was explicitly backed by the government

Well it was capatalism, with the profit motive ect. ect. Just state backed capitalism, subsidizes by the government. "Corporate capitalism" I think they call it.

>>2589091
What? Dust bowl is if anything an example of one of "don't fuck with environement"
The only thing to blame here is the lack of knowledge about soil erosion and degradation.

>implying that the URSS didn't destroyed Russia environement forever
