Do you know if anything is being done to overturn the DDT ban?
What I've noticed is that those individuals who consider humans a blight on the planet, and who call for reductions in human population growth, are never willing to lead by example.
From a Biblical perspective, the first job given to man was to be a caretaker in the Garden. Creation displays the glory of God, and to treat His creation carelessly insults the Creator.
From a scientific perspective, if we don't care for the environment, we perish. We breathe air, we drink water, we eat food. If these necessities becomes tainted, we die.
I don't agree with many of the actions of the established environmental movement. But the sane, godly principles of being wise stewards of the world in which we live are fundamentally for the good of mankind. Even if the current environmental movement is hostile to God and man, that doesn't mean we need to turn our backs on our responsibilities to care for our environment for the safety and wellbeing of all people.
I respectfully disagree.
Abortion is the direct slaughter of an innocent human being. There are no gray areas.
Environmentalism can have a wide array of activism. While environmental extremists support laws that indirectly have resulted in hundreds of millions of unnecessary deaths (such as the DDT example you provide), this is still an indirect murder. There are other levels of environmentalism that have the intent to help people (although they are often ignorant of side effects).
While I'll agree that modern environmentalism is almost entirely based on ignorance or political motivation, and is thus evil, it does not even come close to the direct evil of abortion.
I am replying to your post because I don't believe that the evil of abortion should be "watered-down". It is a great evil alone by itself.
You've been reading too much junkscience.com (which is largely junk in and of itself- selective citations). The ban is not worldwide and DDT would do little to prevent 'millions' of deaths. Mosquito resistance to DDT occurs within just a few years. Uggh don't even want to start the same arguements.

Oh man. I agree with you, but we have a whole lot of brainwashed Freepers here who love their Mother Earth. Get ready for an earful.
Banning DDT was basically genocide!

My concern is how much money politicians from both sides of the isles are getting from envirnomental groups. I suspect that is where their power is coming from.
