Because, let's face it, an aging single woman author in Maryland dying of cancer is surely to blame for any pandemic illness that should ever sweep the globe.<BR/><BR/>The fact that she pointed out in a poignant novel that rational testing of chemical use and insecticides was needed, and the fact that the novel helped awaken a generation to the dangers of overusing untested chemicals in the environment who in turn demanded tighter standards from their elected officals is hardly a smoking gun tying to the direct deaths of Africans from malaria. Civil unrest, poverty and extreme social inequality, drought and crop failures clearly played a larger and more direct role. Oh, and the fact that chemical spraying did continue in Africa in attempts to control malaria and the fact that subsequent genrations of mosquitos become resilient to DDT would seem to take the edge off the "blame the treehuggers" for death mentality you aspouse.<BR/><BR/>And with regard to Stalin - no, not my last name, sorry to disappoint. And, yeah, bad guy . . . did horrible things, responsible for many tragic deaths, an evil tyarnt. You brought him up - not me. So what does he have to do with protecting the environment we inherit when we are born to this earth? Umm, how about NOTHING.<BR/><BR/>Do I think we should take action on global warming? Yes.<BR/><BR/>So your final point seems to be that you are disappointed with the UN for not doing enough to protect the planet. That's fair enough. So how's this for an idea, why don't we instead hold our leaders a bit more accountable then? (especially since the normal refrain is typically something like "we don't want no stinking foreignors telling us what we can do")<BR/><BR/>Is that really what your arguing now - an actual effort by the current government to address climate change, rather than staging another photo op and signing another "aspirational document" about something we might addresse at some point in the future.<BR/><BR/>Because if so, I have to agree with you, my bumbling nearly incoherent anonymous pal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-34174277188566478702007-11-19T13:34:00.000-05:002007-11-19T13:34:00.000-05:00It's pretty clear to me, joseph (Stalin?).

Environmentalists who fought to ban DDT sealed the fate of approximately 30 million people in Africa who died of malaria. And the UN, a group mainly composed of Third World dictators, always seems to be just ineffective enough so that nothing happens when the local dictator goes on a killing spree. <BR/><BR/>If you can blame the West for killing the planet, then you can thank the above three groups for trying to 'save' it from overpopulation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-72577307816026305852007-11-19T11:44:00.000-05:002007-11-19T11:44:00.000-05:00If there is a mass die-off, it just means more mea...If there is a mass die-off, it just means more meat for the survivors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-28986961803683974802007-11-19T10:35:00.000-05:002007-11-19T10:35:00.000-05:00This is just too bizarre.
