The exact effect of these chemicals is still not known. Microplastics seem capable of limiting crop yields, so that’s certainly a horrific issue combined with reduced yields from climate change as well. But chemicals in general, as horrific as they are, are not quite an existential threat capable of completely destroying our ability to grow food.
Current farming practices depleting topsoil is a bigger threat to food production than chemicals, generally, except for pesticides likely causing the collapse of the bee population, which is an existential threat.
It doesn’t matter how warm the earth gets if the soil and water is so polluted we cannot grow crops
