According to Wikipedia,
> The half-life of glyphosate in soil ranges between 2 and 197 days; a typical field half-life of 47 days has been suggested.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate#Environmental_fate
As far as herbicides go, it's relatively safe and short-lived. It's nothing compared to DDT.
What is the damage that has been done?
>Glyphosate should be banned, destroyed and removed from the planet.
Why, though? You haven't stated any reason why you feel this way.
> Its impact will last generations.
What, specifically, is the impact to which you refer?
For one thing, huge impacts on native insects, which has domino effects across ecosystems which rely on them for pollination and food.
Runoff from crops getting into aquifers, rivers, reservoirs which turns into drinking water for humans. Later it will rain contaminated water all over our properties, gardens, bodies
What is the damage being done here? You've mentioned how something happens but not what that something is.
It'll sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids, duh.
Its a killer. There is no arguing that - and seriously ALL of it ends up in the water. The most important resource on the planet.
I am surprised I have to even say this.

Jeasus christ, before you try to shut something down, know your facts:

Its one of the reasons Monsanto merged with Bayer - to "cleanse" the name of the fact that glyphosate is liquid cancer in a bottle.

The article you link discusses a legal case. It isn't a finding in research of glyphosate being a carcinogen. Indeed the article describes this fact in the very last paragraph.
I'm not sure what facts you expect me to glean from this piece but there are none supporting glyphosate as a carcinogen.
>Its one of the reasons Monsanto merged with Bayer - to "cleanse" the name of the fact that glyphosate is liquid cancer in a bottle.
This is hyperbole.
>Its a killer. There is no arguing that - and seriously ALL of it ends up in the water. The most important resource on the planet.
I'm sorry but the research just doesn't agree.
>Impact to fish waterlife
What is the impact you are referring to? An impact can be anywhere from barely observable to catastrophic. There have been many studies on the impact of glyphosate on water life. Nothing so far has conclusively ascertained a significant threat.
>the direct affect of creating cancer in humans in short order
Where does this come from? There have been no recorded cases to support this claim.
>the impact to the insect food life cycle which affect the entire chain.
Again, what is the magnitude of impact to which you refer? Saying something has impact, without further context, is almost meaningless.
>Its a killer. There is no arguing that
Killer of what?
>I am surprised I have to even say this.
Not much has been said short of broad claims and generalizations without any supporting information.
Glyphosate should be banned, destroyed and removed from the planet.
Its impact will last generations.
