The Report notes “one of the most revealing quotations related to the issue at hand is another by Charles Wurster, who was reported to have said in 1971, after it was pointed out to him by a reporter that the widespread usage of the pesticide DDT saved lives: “So what? People are the main cause of our problems. We have too many of them. We need to get rid of some of them…” Typical of the left.

And the very reason they're deserving of our contempt.
...Charles Wurster and his ilk certainly have a great deal to answer for.

With Liberals all that matters is Intent, Not reality or results. As long as you have good intent then they will over look the consequences of those decisions. It's like dealing with a bunch of Jr. High scholl kids.

Charles Wurster, Rachel Carlson (sp), Get going! Please lead by example! Two greenies checked off the planet is a good start!

I think we should have a call for volunteers. If the greenies feel the planet is better off with less people on it then they won't mind doing their part.

How do the DDT proponants explain the comeback of the birds of prey, who supposedly had concentrations of DDT in their blood levels being concentrated, by being meat-eaters, and their eggs so thin-shelled they could not hatch out?
What I'm asking is, how exactly do you challenge the empirical evidence that birds of prey have made a significant comeback since DDT was banned? Is is something else that brought them back from the brink of extinction?

The lefty enviromentalist wackos don't care if the DDT ban causes a bunch of "brown people" to die. In fact, they rather fancy that outcome.

My teacher, Dr. Benjamin Kean, used to start the Cornell tropical medicine course by saying "Two books in this century have killed over 100 million people each. The first, you know (holds up
Mein Kampf). The second may surprise you (holds up
Silent Spring).
A great man.

I just watched a Discovery show that stated emphatically that some nut that hangs from a Helicopter and steals the Bald Eagles eggs from the nest is the reason that the Eagles came back to Catalina Island. And the reason they stopped coming was DDT.
30 years later is their any scientific proof that DDT caused Bald Eagles eggs to become too soft for their mothers to hatch them?

I wonder if we could charge Charles Wurster with 80 million counts of "depraved indifference" homicide?
