In case you’re wondering why Algore requires such a large aircraft, it’s because he takes his ego with him wherever he goes.

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism except when dissenting against know-it-all socialists.

For 12 years, JunkScience.com has worked to debunk the bad science that has been used to advance the harmful or merely silly political and social agendas of environmentalists that have led to things such as bans on DDT...

Try telling the American Bald Eagle that DDT was good for the environment. It almost made them extinct!

While DDT was one of the most effective pesticides ever known, there is absolutely know way that you're going to convice people of science that his powerful poison didn't have an effect on birds and fish when every scientific fact points otherwise.

Come on into 2008....From the article

>>Q: Is there a smaller example of junk science that is harmful? A: Global warming is obviously the up-and-coming issue. The biggest and probably the most lethal form of junk science so far has been the DDT controversy. Tens of millions of people in malaria regions have died needlessly because the U.S. – based on junk science – banned DDT in 1972 and the ban was promptly exported around the world. It wasn’t until just two years ago or so that the World Health Organization rolled back its ban on DDT – or at least said they did. DDT use really hasn’t expanded all that much and millions continue to die. That’s the environmentalists’ handiwork and that’s just the warm-up for what’s going to happen with global warming.<<

NOTHING is as cheap and effective as DDT.

LOL...Junk Science is believing the universe was created in just six 24-hour periods, that stemcell research is witchcraft, or that there really is no such thing as pollution. If you really believe DDT so safe why not try some in your coffee?

I may sound like a crack pot, but DDT saved a lot of lives from disease. The little green people don't talk about population control but it doesn’t take rocket science to understand that that is part of their hidden agenda.

If I had mosquitoes in my coffee, I would.

How silly is that statement. It’s toxic, it’s an insecticide, meant to kill insects. If it wasn’t toxic, it wouldn’t work.

So you’ve got a bunch of people who can’t afford a pot to pee in, worried about birds while their children are dying of malaria. Right.

Priorities, FRiend.

>>that stemcell research is witchcraft<<

Embryo stem cells have never worked for research. Adult stemcells have.

Now who is talking Witchcraft. Not us. We know what is a pipedream with an agenda and what is actually working.

A great example of exactly the “junk science” that they’re debunking.

Meanwhile, how many humans died because of this fallacious conclusion?
