This is an excellent article about how do-gooders introduced invasive species to solve a problem, only to create a bigger problem.

Just as the US Department of Agriculture gave away Florabunda Rose bushes to farmers for erosion control.

Feminist biologist Banu Subramaniam suggests...

What is a "feminist biologist?"

Is science different for "feminists?"

Reminds me of the old song “There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...”

“Silent Spring” was a load of crappola that has led to the deaths of millions of Africans from malaria. Almost as many as deliberately murdered by PlannedParenthood.

It is a certainty that liberals were involved — they have no concept of behavior -> consequences.

Interesting read, but I find annoying her overly descriptive literary tone, kind of pretentious, and the article is “woke”: same old tired theme of “the world is a wonderful place, or would be, if it weren’t for those pesky invasive humans,” and the corollary of “ ‘colonizers’ (IYKWIMAITYD) are invasive everywhere, because the land really belongs to the people ‘originally’ there” (except, of course, even those indigenous people came from somewhere else, displacing someone before them, etc. etc. etc.).

Asian bittersweet.

Really most of the bad things in the world come from Asia.

We really should stop allowing their stuff here.
