Oh my, now look at who is cherry picking sentences to backup her argument...
I understand hyperbole. So well that I worked it into my introductory post intentionally to stir debate.
Laying out the worst case scenario gives us a good place to start the discussion.

The whole point of submitting to the Reapers would be that even were we to defeat them in combat, Humanity is doomed anyway. You insinuate that if Earth falls, and you claim without a doubt that it will, humanity will follow. You have only one specific example of evidence as of yet to support this original claim.
What examples do you have that support your claim?
So you purposefully mislead the readers to invoke an emotional
response, and it did. Big whoop. You like the debate and the drama.
It's why you started this thread, it's why you link to it in your
signature, and it's why you continually keep trying to provoke people by
insulting them.
But you have a shoddy case, at best, for your argument. If this were a murder investigation, it would never go to trial.
So
let's not trivialize the matter. Do you have anything new or relevent
to add to your case? Because going back and repeating the same phrase
ad naseum is going to bore your audience, and eventually people stop
reading, and you don't get your attention. I'd really hate for you to
have to start this thread again, so maybe this would be time to come up
with something - anything - new to support your argument.
Or I can list my examples here, yet again, of my evidence. I could use the bullets again if you want.

The only way for toxic rain to form is for molecules in a gaseous state to mix with molecules in the water up in the atmosphere, throwing off it's nearly neutral pH and coming down as an acidic solution.
I didn't say anything about toxic rain or acid rain.
Thanks for demonstrating once again that you are misinformed though.
Be it volcanic ash or smoke from a forest fire particles can get into the air and come down again when it rains.
Wasn't misinformed. I misunderstood you, probably because you misunderstood me. I clearly stated that there was no proof that it would contaminate our WEATHER SYSTEM, and be spread by THE RAIN. And you brought up dust.
And yes, the air will be polluted. But not from evaporation of eezo in the water, which is clearly what I said (the eezo not evaporating that is). And, again, the rain will help to clean the air pollution, it's not a cause for spreading it. I already mentioned that also. Breathable air = better environment, right?
And, done arguing out the details for that. You originally stated that the oceans would be contaminated, and that the oceans are intstrumental to our weather cycles. So, now let me clarify my argument:
The eezo contained in the oceans/lakes/rivers will be of little concern to our weather system because it cannot evaporate and be spread through means of toxic rain. Any eezo spread through the air, would have to have been there in the first place. *facepalm*

Cancers, birth defects, possible waves of extinctions in the second generation after initial exposure.
Which is the proven theory. Thank you for clearing that up. It makes my argument a lot easier when you actually prove my point.
How does this in any way prove your theory?
Not my theory. The theory in game.
And here is one of the cases where you are intentionally misleading people within this thread. You use that phrase "Cancers, birth defects, waves of extinction" over and over, as if it's your mantra. Nobody has ever disagreed with the possible side effects (apart from extinction) of Eezo exposure, but you refuse to admit the Eezo is only toxic to UNBORN fetuses. But you use it as one of your arguments as if that is not the case. There is an important distinction between being toxic to fetuses, and being toxic to every being.
If toxic to every being, the effects are immediate, and if large enough exposure occurs, can be fatally catastrophic to a species. Think nuclear fallout.
If it is toxic only in utero (which all in game evidence supports that this is the case with Eezo), then only the fetus is in any danger of damage (there are many drugs now a days to support this, toxic to developing fetuses, safe for adults). Yes, there will be many still be many deaths, but in order for this to be catastrophic to a species, repeated, GENERATIONAL exposure will need to happen, until, said species is left at unsustainable population levels. This type of "fall-out" (and I use the term loosely) takes MANY MANY YEARS, especially for large populations, as in HUMANS ON EARTH.
So quit saying "Cancers, birth defects, waves of extinction" as if it would immediately occur. It won't.
