<p>These threads that Paul Heckbert starts make me want to bang my head against a wall. First he cherry picks facts to start an argument, then everyone else on the site gets really angry and cherry picks facts to prove him wrong... It's as if there's no middle ground on anything. </p>

<p>No one who uses this site really buys what he's selling so I don't know why people find it necessary to reply every time.</p>

<p>Hey Chicken Little,</p>
<p>Character Assassination, a typical leftist extremist environmentalist tactic</p>
<p>You continually impugn the intentions of anyone who writes articles or scientist that publishes studies favorable to the oil and gas industry. Your contention is that since these folks have accepted funding from oil and gas industry sources that they are bought and sold by the industry and they will only write favorable articles and reports.</p>

<p>Hey Chicken Little,</p>
<p>Character Assassination, a typical leftist extremist environmentalist tactic</p>
<p>You continually impugn the intentions of anyone who writes articles or scientist that publishes studies favorable to the oil and gas industry. Your contention is that since these folks have accepted funding from oil and gas industry sources that they are bought and sold by the industry and they will only write favorable articles and reports.</p>
<p>Not once have I seen you write a post that deals with the content of these articles or studies. Charcter Assassination pure and simple. Disgusting!</p>
<p>Yet you promote environmental extremist activists such as Josh Faux and Mark Ruffalo. Both of whom are funded by anti fossil fuel organizations such as the Park Foundation and others. Of course the intentions of these radicals are pure as the driven snow. Nonsense? The films that Faux produces are visual propaganda not informational documentaries as he claims. And the writings of Mr. Ruffalo have absolutely no basis in fact. Those articles are stocked with misinformation, rumor, hyperbole and worse.</p>
<p>And, when you post this nonsense I take the time to go through the content and refute the "information" contained in them. You on the other hand never dwell away from character assassination.</p>
<p>I believe the word hypocrite is applicable here.</p>

<p>Paul,</p>
<p>You can be so aggrivating.</p>
<p>Of course Ms. Carson alone did not get DDT banned. But it was her work that was one of the main forces that created the modern extremist environmental movement.</p>
<p>Do the math:</p>
<p>Carson advocacy + extremist environmental movement = DDT banned.</p>
<p>DDT banned = Death of millions in Africa and Asia.</p>

<p>The deaths in those areas continue so her legacy of death lives on even today.</p>
<p>Yes "some" (not all) mosquitoes became resistant, but you conveniently leave out the rest of the story; that those DDT resistant mosquitoes were still repelled by the smell of DDT and light dusting in the homes kept the mosquitoes away. No mosquitoes, no bites, no disease, no death.</p>
<p>I love you leftists because you are so predictable. For example your tactic of cherry picking info out of stories and only presenting half the story.</p>
<p>And again with the funding issue. Please prove that the content of the article was influenced by the funding and that the information (content) is inaccurate.</p>

<p>Second cause for concern: the person that wrote that review in Forbes co-authored a book with the former president of PERC.</p>
<p>Third cause for concern: the PERC article perpetuates the unsupported claim that Rachel Carson's advocacy contributed to millions of deaths in Africa and Asia. A more reasoned review of the lessons of "Silent Spring" is here:</p>

I continue to be impressed by her account from 50 years ago. ... </span>In examples that Carson discussed in “Silent Spring,” the reason that DDT was no longer being used in some places for malaria was because mosquitoes had quickly developed a resistance to the insecticide. And DDT continues to be allowed for targeted malaria control."</p> Ragnars,

<p>One of our frequent leftist posters claims to be a man of science and steward (teacher) of students</p>
<p>consider this quote from the article:</p>
<p> "It is shocking that Dunn, an assistant professor of biology, remains ignorant of Carson’s shortcomings, and deplorable that university students are exposed to a scientist who manifests such ignorance and failure to respect the norms of science."</p>
<p>Professor Dunn of course is the man of science that helped to propagate the misinformation of Ms. Carson. Ignoring all he knew of science.</p>
<p>We have our own Dunn who posts on this site; ignoring everything he knows about science in order to promote the false narratives of environmental disaster of shale development. And, sadly, as was the case with Professor Dunn this person is entrusted with steering the education of students entrusted to his care. A trust that he regularly disregards.</p>
<p>So for you, the casual reader of this site, be warned that those that present themselves as experts, because of their degrees and positions, are no less influenced by dishonesty than any of the rest of us.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the lighter cars are less safe. Auto related deaths have increased due to cars being lighter and as a result less safe.</p>
<p>These things don't matter to the extremists on the left. You and I our sons and daughters don't matter to these extremists. It's all about the goal, the ends justify the means.</p>
