So pervasive was the anti-DDT hysteria, that the public outcry is often cited as the beginning of modern environmental activism in the United States.

So the entire environmental movement is based on junk science -- junk science that has killed tens of millions of people.

But the enviros have cleaned up their act now, of course. And there's this bridge in Brooklyn I wanna tell you about...

Truer words than these have never been uttered or written.

At that meeting, the World Bank pledged an additional $300 million to $500 million to help fight malaria, but so far little has been spent.

Forget the bridge. A really smart business(con)man would sell them $500 million worth of fly swatters.

There were a whole shelf-full of enviro-catastrophe books written in the 60's and 70's~~Silent Spring was the original, I guess. All composed of half-truths, idle speculations, irrational and illogical thinking, factual errors and downright lies--all souped up by the idiot enthusiasms of the "New Left."

These were most often written by scientists who traded on their credentials to pontificate in areas way beyond their competence. These fraudulent screeds were uncritically sucked in and digested by the sophomoric mediocrities of the day, now the banal practitioners of cynical hysterics who infest our classrooms, news media, bureaucracies, and pulpits.

Some, like many schoolteachers and preachers, are simply credulous fools not bright enough to know better; others know they are falsifying , but as stated by the "Science" editor for Newsweek, believe it is fine to lie for what is seen as a good cause.

Stolid bureaucrats like the USAID man just plod on down the path, never letting facts interfere with what they know.

Most malignant are the anti-human population bombers, like the Sierra Club and allied alien Mother Ships, who oppose DDT (for example) precisely because it does save lives. To these crackpots, malaria is an ally in their drive for population control.

The Left Branch of the Baby Boom has a great deal to answer for.
