Bald Eagle Back From The Brink That's nice. Now there are more of them available to be chopped up by those windmill monstrosities. Saving the planet, one endangered bird at a time.. But anyway, who cares about all those little black babies dying of malaria whose lives could have been saved by the judicious use of DDT? After all, fewer babies means a healthier planet, according to greenie theology. Not too many bald eagles over there in an African jungle, anyway..

Common thread between you and shark. Whatever you cannot understand/doesn't fit your paradigm is fake regardless of the facts. The facts wrt to Africa and DDT are beyond your comprehension but they are proven facts. Your wind farms kill more Eagles/raptors than any chemical. Try to take an honest look at the facts.

2013 shatters the record for fewest tornadoes... Also sees fewest forest fires since 1984... ‘Whether you’re talking about tornadoes, wildfires, extreme heat or hurricanes, the good news is that weather-related disasters in the US are all way down this year compared to recent years and, in some cases, down to historically low levels.’ Extreme Heat: The number of 100 degree days may ‘turn out to be the lowest in about 100 years of records’ Hurricanes: ‘We are currently in the longest period (8 years) since the Civil War Era without a major hurricane strike in the US (i.e., category 3, 4 or 5)’ ( last major hurricane to strike the US was Hurricane Wilma in 2005) climatedepot.com

It's not banning DDT that brought back the Eagles... It is reduced lead in the environment, both from taking it out of gasoline and from removing lead from shotgun pellets and other hunting ammo.

Hi Eric: I'm going to take the opposite side of the DDT banning as I've a personal interest in some of the consequences. DDT was banned in 1972. Lyme disease was identified in 1975. My unscientific observation is the tick population in the U.S. has exploded since then. (At least growing up I never saw a tick and they are now abundant, not only here in the Northeast but from my readings throughout the U.S.) Ticks are the known vector of Lyme disease (borrelia burgdorferi) as well as Babesia, Bartonella, ehrlichiosis and a few other diseases. DDT was used to control Malaria via killing the mosquito (babesia is similar to malaria but the vector is ticks versus mosquito) but one of the unpublished side effects was also killing the tick. Lyme is not considered a large problem in the U.S. with what was 30,000 cases a year although the CDC just increased that 10 fold to 300,000 last fall. My contention is it is still much greater than 300,000 as the majority of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Parkinsons, ALS (all diseases which have also increased exponentially in the last 30 years) are all caused by an underlying tick borne infection.
