Long banned in the United States because of environmental damage... Wasn't that already proven to be BS?

About 10 million people too late. Nice population management by the WHO.

What, you mean Rachel Carson wasn't the hero people claim she was? She wasn't so much a "courageous woman who took on the chemical industry" as the NRDC calls her, but a cause of suffering and death on par with the worst dictators in history? I wonder if the story will ever be revised in mainstream books. I strongly suspect the people who supported the ban believed there were too many Africans anyway. This is a story that deserves to be told widely.

Wasn't that already proven to be BS? True, however manufacturers of DDT and other effective pesticides were nailed in post production by the EPA, Superfund, other agencies and law suits over perceived or otherwise poor environmental practices. I would personally doubt any company would want to make it again. Now a company in a country that has little or no environmental responsibility could make a reasonable profit..BTW, They could also make nerve agents as a by-product.

Yeesh. I knew it was more than 10 million, but without a cite I didn't want to exaggerate. So I guess WHO is on par with Stalin and Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge combined. Nice.

I dunno. Looks like a pretty happy organo chloride to me

Hey, 40 million dead dark people later..., what the heck, the big, healthy, white Bhwana liberal is going to change his mind about what 'little people' can do. Naturally, if they abuse this trust, it will be taken away from 'our little friends.'
NGO Liberal Out.

Wouldn't we just file that under environmentalist collateral damage? /s

Has anyone thought of importing a buttload of bats to take down the mosquitoes? Wouldn't get rid of them but it would help.
To: January24th
It's no coincidence that the DDT ban is pushed by the same types of folks who think there should be people on the planet.
