Google has a white wash doodle for Rachel Carson's B'Day. No mention how Carson's book and subsequent banning of DDT resulted in the death of millions in the Third World when malaria came back with a vengeance. But to the Left killing millions for a cause is their modus operandi.

[who knows what evil?]

Rachel Carson = genocide.

I don’t click on WaPo links. Can you post a pic of the doodle?

this mass murder killed millions in tropical lands and has us using dangerous poisons, where DDT is 100% safe for humans and can even be eaten by humans.

I hate her. I absolutely hate her.

Six weeks ago, I had yet another bout of malaria -CURSE YOU, RACHEL CARSON- but I had TWO DIFFERENT TYPES at the same time. She has, with that book, caused much needless suffering in this world.

Amen! Memorial Day at Google was a miniature flag but this mass-murderer/writer/genocidist deserves her big day and animation. Shame on them!

But the victims were mostly black. Wasn't that sorta the point? (/liberal)

I would say, in Montgomery County. I don’t hear too much about her even nearby in super-liberal Howard. Never knew she was anywhere near until I was maybe college age, and I’m pretty savvy about all kinds of things.

I think it’s hilarious her house is on the historic register - it’s a standard-design early mass-development medium house. And as I recall she wasn’t here that long. But limo liberals love their religion of environmentalism, and she is a prophet to them, so there you go.

And nothing for Memorial Day?

Progressive response: Hey, if malaria had not killed them, they'd be starving now, and killing and eating one another!

Rachel Carson ending DDT use and even production created a malaria genocide that has killed more people in Africa than Hitler did in the Holocaust. Her legacy of pseudo science and environmental activism is everywhere. Mumps, measles and even polio that were almost eradicated are coming back because of similar pseudo science studies that supposedly linked vaccinations with autism. Phony science has driven the global warming movement into a cult that threatens technical civilization and democracy...all thanks to Rachel Carson starting the ball rolling with her now demonstrated false data.

My Pops held dual degrees in Chemistry and English and wound up writing pro DDT pamphlets just prior to the release of this classic of quack science. My Pops labeled it as anti-science from the beginning. Malaria was on the way to eradication before this insanity took hold of the Book Clubs. DDT was also used to control bedbugs and the last two and a half decades has seen a plague of bedbugs across the US. The EPA has one agent for control - but so far, has not deigned to allow its use. More of the hapless and destructive “precautionary principle” upon which much of our bureaucratic Gordian Knot is built. Carbon Dioxide fantasies have now been added to the cultural and economic destruction wrought by Carson and her friends in the UN, EPA, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, World Wildlife Fund, etc.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

There is a wide range of estimates for the total number of deaths caused by malaria, but the World Health Organisation generally reports “around a million” deaths each year from the disease, out of somewhere between 300-500 million cases. In total, it is estimated that 3.3 billion people are at risk from malaria, which is almost half the world’s population!

DDT was wrongly banned because of her book. She and anyone who bought the book or taunted it and it's premises are KILLERS of millions of people.

I first thought it was Rachel Corrie and was going to make pancakes.
