The testimony of Dr. Edwards and others during Environmental Protection Agency hearings in 1971 on whether to ban the insecticide led to an EPA administrative law judge ruling that, “DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man. DDT is not a mutagenic or teratogenic hazard to man. The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds or other wildlife.”

And then the largest mass-murdering environmentalist of all time for personal and political motives banned DDT all on his little lonesome and consigned many tens of millions to death and billions to disease and misery.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Dr. Edwards strongly opposed the ban on DDT.

No, you were perfectly clear. The environmental holocaust initiator on behalf of environmentalism was this guy:

Lol and thanks for the info. So our social reformers have already outdone Hitler and Stalin combined when it comes to mass slaughter. Unfortunately they’re just getting started. With global warming they’ve politicized science, so there goes western civilization. The ethanol scam is way ahead of schedule in bringing back massive starvation in the third world (and maybe here), forty years after the green revolution turned the Malthusian “overpopulation” scare into a joke. And with what they’re doing to our educational system we may have the know-how to harness our energy resources when and if these clueless clowns get bored and decide to get out of the way.

Correction on the last sentence: ....we may NOT have the know-how ....
