IN APRIL 1972, after seven months of testimony, EPA Administrative Law Judge Edmund Sweeney stated that “DDT is not a carcinogenic 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. ... The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT.”
Two months later, EPA head [and Environmental Defense Fund member/fundraiser] William Ruckelshaus - who had never attended a single day’s session in the seven months of EPA hearings, and who admittedly had not even read the transcript of the hearings - overturned Judge Sweeney’s decision. Ruckelshaus declared that DDT was a “potential human carcinogen” and baanned it for virtually all uses.
Since Ruckelshaus arbitrarily and capriciously banned DDT, an estimated cases 14,163,947,500 (and counting) of malaria have caused immense suffering and poverty in the developing world.--from JunkScience.com.
These are real dead children we are talking about here. And don't even start in with your let 'em eat cake--excuse me--mosquito nets. Their deaths are on your hands. And now, after murdering literally millions, you expect thinking human beings to convert to your global warmist religion? History remembers the millions lost to Stalin in the Soviet Union; the millions starved by Mao. History will remember you, too.
