The facts behind what we're suffering now from the radical socialist is laid out as I've never seen it before. It leaves no doubt about how our troubles began who is behind them and where we're headed. It's a lot of reality to handle and if we we're in the middle of it now no one would believe it. I hope you review it. All of the names, the books the organizations and the objectives are laid bare.

Like all environmentalists, she lied, fudged data, and leaped to conclusions with no basis in fact. If she relied on a falsified study, it is just one example of a constant trend among the Greens.<br /><br />The global warming hoax is made up entirely of falsified "science."

That was before I grew up and learned something. I am now re-reading it and I am appalled at what Carson’s acolytes call science. Carson was a great writer; unfortunately it was science fiction.<br /><br />The lies about egg shell thinning are still being told today, but in reality one of the most frequently used studies that showed DDT supposedly caused egg shell thinning was a study where the researcher deliberately restricted the amount of calcium in their test subject’s diet. After it was discovered that this is what he did he was required to redo the study with sufficient calcium in the diet, and there was no egg shell tinning at all. This pattern of lies and unnecessary regulations has continued until today. <br /><br />The Ficam issue is a classic example of redundant testing and regulations. The fact of the matter is that after a product has been out on the market for 15 years you absolutely know if it causes problems or not. And the demand for re-registration is usually after the product is out of patent and the costs do not justify maintaining the registration. <br /><br />It is nothing more than a scheme by the environmental activists in and out of government to get rid of pesticides without having to ban them. That requires a hearing and after the DDT debacle they haven’t tried it since.Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-64576427291235262672010-08-10T17:42:00.459-07:002010-08-10T17:42:00.459-07:00In an attempt at some [re;uctant] fairness to Ms. ...In an attempt at some [re;uctant] fairness to Ms. Carson, she was reporting accepted science about DDT and egg-shells. It was not until after publication of her book that the research was discredited - the "scientist" had effectively replaced nearly all calcium in the study birds with DDT. Not that I found this, somewhat inadvertently, until many years later... Newer studies seem to show that an excess (?) of DDT can cause shell-thinning in some species, if not to a very high risk level. <br /> <br />The EPA ban was done by the then political-appointee agency head, admittedly ignoring all the evidence actual EPA research (such as it was/is) showed.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801684602403824157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-9506892960785323452010-08-10T16:52:52.834-07:002010-08-10T16:52:52.834-07:00Is she still alive and kicking?

In time studies refuted that nonsense. It belongs in the same catagory as the lies about the Spotted Owl being endangered.<br /><br />The movement to ban DDT and the environmental movement in general began in response to Rachel Carson's pack of lies called "Silent Spring."

My parents had to seal the house, and we had go vacate the premises for a couple of days, but what worked to entirely rid the house of bedbugs permanently was burning candles made of paraffin with powdered sulfur mixed in, one in each room. Stick with regular candle wax the bottom of of each candle to a wide shallow dish, then fill to about 3/8th of an inch deep of water, and light the furthest sulfur candle from the door, going to the one nearest to the door. After a couple of days, air the house well before entering.<br /><br />I wouldn't guarantee that this would work, but it was very inexpensive and did the job for us.<br /><br />Banning DDT completely was one of humanity's most suicidal acts in the history of humankind.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-774935249195425082010-08-10T13:30:39.263-07:002010-08-10T13:30:39.263-07:00Mr. Caruba,
