...and some citing papers.

It's not actually a bad paper, although this type of methodology has resulted in a huge and important retraction in a Covid setting.

One of the citing papers speculated on a world without glyphosate from an agricultural perspective specifically with respect to soybeans.

Since soybeans are of particular importance with respect to the destruction of both the Brazilian rain forest and the destruction of the world's largest wetland, the Pantanal, areas as of importance to humanity given climate change, I would be pleased to discuss with you your confidence in this paper and its methodology and why you believe that this paper, out of hundreds of thousands on the subject of glyphosate including those the authors utilized, stands out above all other issues facing humanity.

Please share your general comments on your reading of the paper. I look forward to your response
