When Al Gore and his global warming alarmists take over, one of the first citizens theyll slap in a prison and charge with crimes against the (green) state will be Steven J. Milloy, founder and publisher of the popular Web site JunkScience.com.
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 and incandescent light bulbs.

In case youre wondering why Algore requires such a large aircraft, its 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.

It almost made them extinct!

click here 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 wasnt 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 hasnt expanded all that much and millions continue to die. Thats the environmentalists handiwork and thats just the warm-up for whats going to happen with global warming.<<
NOTHING is as cheap and effective as DDT.

Phooey. Thats a MYTH and its JUNK SCIENCELOL...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.

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?
