She also made the claim, in 1950, that the Glaciers started melting in 1900. It was repeated in this old movie.
“The Sea Around Us” is a 1953 American documentary film written and produced by Irwin Allen, based on the book of the same name by Rachel L. Carson.
I had no idea.
I went to a Cranberry Festival some years back, and it was quite nice and fun. But one of the displays (An Audubon display) had an older woman talking about Rachel Carson and her work.
After she gave her little spiel, I engaged her in polite and friendly conversation. I had some facts at the tip of my tongue...she was just relating what someone had told her.
She was very nice, but I made her head spin a little bit. I am sure that if she related this conversation to anyone else, they would “set her straight” and get her re-indoctrinated...:)
And she would see me as an evil conservative interloper.
