Rachel Carson: Dead Wrong On DDT Fears
Fateful Voice of a Generation Still Drowns Out Real Science
From the Website (click on the image): Cultural myths often stand in the way of human progress—in some cases producing devastating consequences. In fact, today millions of people around the world suffer the painful and often deadly effects of malaria because one person sounded a false alarm. That person is Rachel Carson, author of the 1962 best selling book Silent Spring. Many have praised Carson for raising concerns—some legitimate—about problems associated with the overuse of chemicals. Yet her extreme rhetoric generated a culture of fear, resulting in policies have deprived many people access to life-saving chemicals. In particular, many nations curbed the use of the pesticide DDT for malaria control because Carson created unfounded fears about the chemical. As the world commemorates the 100th birthday (May 27, 2007) of the late Rachel Carson, it is time to acknowledge the unintended, adverse effects of Carson’s legacy and find ways to correct them.*******
It’s been said that Al Gore is the Rachel Carson of Global Warming. bwahahahaha! There is a strong corrolation there.
As Berlau writes, “America . . . is still mighty prosperous, but environmentalism is putting us on the brink of danger as well. As technology after technology that our grandparents put in place is being banned, and new technologies never even come to market, we risk a public-health disaster. Environmentalists have promoted all sorts of doomsday scenarios about population explosions and massive cancer crises from pesticides that have been shown to be false. But now, because we have done away with so many useful products based on those scares, we are in danger of an old-fashion doomsday returning, because we’ve lost what protected us from the wrath of nature. Indeed, as we will see throughout this book, public health hazards caused by environmental policies are already on the scene.”

[…] Take a look at the miracle here and here. Notice the links to facts and evidence. Notice the scientists cited. The fact that this fellow doesn’t know how to do that doesn’t reflect very well on his ability to ‘reason’, or his ability to weigh scentific evidence against hysterical environmental political hyperbole. (Well, actually there’s some good information in the National Geographic story about malaria, but I doubt the blog writer bothered to read it.) […]
