I would add DDT, Freon 12, peak oil, and many more BS theories that have gone belly up. With Zika virus top of the news cycle, someone should just mention "Bring Back DDT" and watch who's heads explode. For 40-50 years of my life, children would follow the DDT spray trucks, dancing and running in the spray with no ill effects. "Silent Spring" has been totally debunked, but DDT is still banned. Freon 12 has been banned for almost 30 years now and the ozone hole is the same as it has always been. Only now, Freon 134a costs $8 a pound vs. .89 cents for Freon 12 when it was banned. As soon as 5 years ago, "science" was still touting peak oil was coming. How's that working out? Now we know there has been NO warming for at least 19 years.
