In an interview with The Big Issue, William Shatner spoke about mankind’s future, his love of danger, and his own mortality.
Many fans of Star Trek drew comfort from the fact that humans made it to the future without destroying themselves, but Shatner doesn’t think this will happen. “Fifty years ago, I read Rachel Carson‘s Silent Spring,” he explained. “I remember vividly. What she said was going to happen has happened.

For someone who can foresee the future, where is my jet pack? Where's my teleporter?
May the Force be with him.
Reality disagrees with you.
Bird egg shells were thinning before DDT existed much less was in wide spread use and were thickening back up long before DDT was banned.
The culprit was likely mercury but that is not a certainty. But it does follow the pattern better.
But since that was a problem that was already being solved there was no attention to be grabbed for it.
Besides, banning DDT would help kill off more of those nasty little brown people that were blocking attention whores view.
It's tomorrow so hang in there one more day!
He’s forgotten the Trek back story. They didn’t make it either. Kind of.
March. 22nd.

from link:
Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses each year, causing more than one million deaths. Common types of mosquito-borne diseases include malaria, dengue, West Nile virus, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika.
I don’t think that reason is as humorous as mine.
Yet, the policies spawned by her lies have devastated Africa with malaria and countries still will not use DDT to get rid of the mosquitos.
If any country in Africa starts to make and use DDT, our State Department will shut all US funding and support for them down.
We are actively killing blacks in Africa with our official policies and no one gives a fig, all because of the demonic book by Rachel Carson.
It is truly amazing Bill is still on this side of the sod at this point. Just sayin.
There are certainly few intelligent life forms down here.
He is outing himself as a Luciferian
[We are actively killing blacks in Africa with our official policies and no one gives a fig,]
Shouldn’t we be worried about the White genocide being perpetrated by blacks in Africa? They are slaughtering Whites in south Africa, especially the White Farmers.
It was all those torn shirts which did it.
I think he’s got another year and will be gone.
Vegas is doing a Star Trek tribute next month and Shatner is the prime guest.
It usually means the end is close.
Rachel Carson has been blamed for killing more people than Josef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro and other tyrants COMBINED.
Her unfounded attack on the use of DDT allowed the spread of disease which killed hundreds of millions throughout the world.
DDT is a profoundly effective killer of mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases.
She was a “trust the science” moron who did not know what she was talking about.
She was a hysterical nutjob whose nonsense caused all of those (mostly poor and third-world) deaths.
Yes,
Silent Spring, a book full of rumors and speculation, lacking any real science, but very popular in its time is what the banning of DDT was based on.
We all know, government policies and laws “follow the science.” Hahahaha
Meanwhile, Silent Spring is still used by many as their inspiration for why they support some environmental cause... Also meanwhile, DDT is manufactured again and available abroad in many places because it simply works well.
The only thing special about this book Silent Spring, is that it was the entry of “environmentalism” on the political stage. From that point on:
Baby seals
Whales
Spotted owls
Rain forest
BS recycling programs
The coming ice age, which turned into global warming, which morphed into climate change, and now finally the climate crisis.
Remember the ozone hole? What ever happened with that? Hahahaha
Environmentalism is more bullshit than real today, sort of like what happened with Covid.
Sad thing is, there is some grain of truth to most issues. However, by the time political and economic interests are done contorting it for their own benefit, the issue isn’t even addressed. They might make it worse (Cuomo with his plan that old folk homes need to take positive folks back)... The only thing you can be sure of when these issues get traction is that the media will get their viewers, Hollywood will make a movie out of it, politicians will smear their opponent and self promote, and some business will make billions off it.
What about Cecil B. DeMille?
The world is full of deluded celebrities who believe in global warming pseudo-scientific nonsense. William Shatner, meet Bill Gates.
It's tomorrow so hang in there one more day!
I was afraid to look!
Looks like I liked it so much I ast fer more!!!
