What is the Most Pressing Environmental Issue?

The most pressing global environmental issue facing us today is the overuse of the land.  Farmers all over the world are overusing the land, which is making the land infertile.  Once the land becomes infertile you can no longer grow anything on it.  This then causes people to go without food.  Without taking proper care of the land and cultivating it properly we will not be able to continue using the land.

If I were to have a wealthy benefactor give me $100 billion to address a global problem, I would not allocate it to just one issue,  I would partition the money amongst many issues.  It would not be fair to just focus all the money and attention into just one problem.  If I were to allocate the money to just one problem, that could potentially create more problems because all the other global issues are set aside.  If we had a sum of money that large, there is no excuse for us to spend it on one thing, that would be irresponsible.
