Sure let's start this discussion with Rachel Carson and how her lies are responsible for the deaths of MILLIONS of children, worldwide.

What did she lie about, how did she cause death of children? (not flaming, just don't know who she is...I assume an environmentalist).

Silent Spring: Strong enough for a man but made for a woman

No, that's not right...what was the name of that soap?

Silent But Deadly: Strong enough to wound a man but able to slay your woman.

That's not the name of the soap

[Tulane]

Didn't the nobel peace winner say that the US govenrment invented aids to enslave Africans? I could swear I read that in a MSM article somewhere.

Women voters and the nanny state

Rachel Carson killed millions of people world wide with her villifying of a safe insecticide....DDT quote from Dr Michael Crichton: So I can tell you some facts. I know you haven't read any of what I am about to tell you in the newspaper, because newspapers literally don't report them. I can tell you that DDT is not a carcinogen and did not cause birds to die and should never have been banned. I can tell you that the people who banned it knew that it wasn't carcinogenic and banned it anyway. I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus irrevocably harmed the third world. Banning DDT is one of the most disgraceful episodes in the twentieth century history of America. We knew better, and we did it anyway, and we let people around the world die and didn't give a damn.

You are right. With her junk science book that contributed to the banning of DDT, she is responsible for more deaths than any woman in history, and it continues to this day at the rate of than 1 million per year from mosquito-borne illnesses...

[ncountylee]

Rachel Carson ranks with Stalin and Mao when it comes to body count.

[GreenFreeper]

how exactly did her lies causes Millions of deaths...your not going to cite Junkscience now are you? DDT is not banned for malaria control ANYWHERE!

[Hank Rearden]

As paranoid whiners, many women fit the bill perfectly.

GREEN - We Can Do It: When it comes to the environment, women lead the way

Not surprising in the least.
It has been established beyond dispute that the female nature tends towards emotion and male towards reason.

Hysteria is a subcategory of emotion, not of reason.
The environment, as an issue, began as an analysis through reason, and quickly degenerated to pure emotion.
More's the pity, and the extraordinary waste of money.

-"Women are inextricably linked to issues of environmental sustainability," she explains, "as mothers, as caretakers, as food producers, as consumers and as nurturers."-

Uh-huh. They're so busy taking on "the world" they've ignored their own resident communities. Do these women know their neighbors? So much for being mothers, caretakers, and nurturers.
