When Environmental Activists Kill

Millions of deaths (mostly women and children)

Illness (billions sickened), and poverty (over a trillion dollars in lost GDP, and counting).

Who is responsible for this decades-long catastrophe, and will the perpetrators be held responsible?

Last week’s announcement that the World Health Organization lifted its nearly 30-year ban on the insecticide DDT is perhaps the most promising development in global public health since… well, 1943 when DDT was first used to combat insect-borne diseases like typhus and malaria…..

Rachel Carson kicked-off DDT hysteria with her pseudo-scientific 1962 book, “Silent Spring.” Carson materially misrepresented DDT science in order to advance her anti-pesticide agenda.

If the EDF rings a bell, here is a memory-refreshing previous post regarding the Rockefeller-Snowe extortion letter on global warming to ExxonMobil, and the subsequent visitors our website had from the possible authors of that missive, the very same EDF. Hysterical clamoring for governmental action based on incomplete scientific evidence, and effectively shouting down all opposing viewpoints by arrogantly claiming that “the debate is over” stinks to high Heaven. And in the case of the ban on DDT, is in my opinion, criminally negligent as well.

Same will happen with the Kyoto thing...Millions reduced to poverty and death due to stifling motivation, innovation, freedom and growth, all in order to pursue a leftist political agenda to tax...tax...tax..until everyone is equally poor, unable to change anything.....(Cuba, North Korea)

the same EDF, backers of the DDT ban are the champions of global swarming. We must push back -- HARD.

Thanks! I wish this had gotten some news before! My young daughter (9 yrs old) did a book report on Rachel Carson. The name sounded familiar and I glanced through the book and remembered why!

My daughter got more of an education than she bargained for! ("Animals are important honey, but are they more important than humans?" Even SHE got that one right!)

And then I got online and found out how fradulant Carson's data was and then she got even MORE of an education.

Today the same is going on with our strict mining and drilling rules that forces so much of it into third world countries where the governments don't care 2 cents worth about the values of the people working, the environment or the community. Same with Kyoto.

The environment would be a lot better off if they'd let us drill on caribou mating ground or mine gold next door to Yellowstone.

BTW - how come if its caribou mating grounds - we're the ones getting screwed?

So-called environmentalism, as a political movement, has killed more people than Hitler and the Nazis.

An American civil rights group and another group in India have called for several environmental groups to be indicted for crimes against humanity.

Environmental activists sued to stop a north sea type of levee system for LA! Over 30 years ago, a DEMO congress passed it, and LBJ signed it. This would have stopped katrina in her tracks, but the sierra club, in all their wisdom didnt like it. It was going to endanger a snail darter or some such nonsense, so they sued to stop it, and won. All them dead folks in LA are on their hands.
