Every day, hundreds of living species are disappearing forever, mostly due to human direct actions on the environment and particularly industrial farming. I personally find this much more important (and sad) than climate change.
"Every day {bad thing} happens due to {list of things that aren't pesticide use} therefore pesticides should be banned."
This is embarrassing. It's like arguing against wind power because wind turbines are held down by cement, and making cement releases CO2.
If people didn't use pesticides, yields would go way, way, way down, and more land would have to be used for intensive farming to produce the same amount of food. So you are basically arguing for pesticide use in your argument against pesticides.
