Silent Spring by Rachael Carson sold a lot, but it didn’t have good science.
Her “The Sea Around Us” was much better, but didn’t sell well. She sold out to make money.
I wouldn’t cite SS as an example of good decision making. Because of its DDT bans, a million people a year die of malaria.
DDT at normally doesn’t hurt birds, it helps them, ridding them of bird lice.
No, weakened egg shells wasn’t from DDT.
Nice way to ignore the elephant in the room.
