DDT causing thinning eggshells and being a human carcinogen were not supported by rigorous scientific data. Carson’s concept of a silent spring, where DDT poisons and eventually kills all avian life, was absolute garbage. Yet because it struck a chord with Gaia-worshippers, her radical environmentalism is still a strong influence today.
Thank you for this link. It’s something I can use. Gracias.
