That the war on DDT is not fought to prevent a major catastrophe is evident by the 10 year history of the fight to ban DDT. The fight was launched in 1962, timed with the publication of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring, a dooms day fable of an DDT caused environmental catastrophe (she never mentions malaria) in which every living thing dies.
As the absurdity of such charges became known, the focus shifted onto new lies, which in turn became overturned with scientific fact. At one time the focus of the scare stories was on the supposed mass dying of birds, and rodents, as the result of DDT in their system. This hoax, too, was disproved by feeding birds and rodents large doses of DDT, some of which actually lived longer because of it. Then the focus was shifted again. A new cause had to be found. Biologist Paul Ehrlich predicted the death of the oceans by 1979, causing a world wide depletion of oxygen. Once this so-called 'science' was disproved, the DDT cancer scare was created. Finally, as none of these tactics had any foundation in fact, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) was pressed into service which launched a seven month hearing in 1971. This monumental hearing in which a large array of experts testified, gave DDT a complete exoneration. As this tactic had failed, also, the EPA simply banned the DDT for political reasons, supposedly based on the impact of DDT on the thickness of eggshells of some species of birds such as the pelican and the peregrine falcon.
By this ruling the war was won. Now, millions of people are forced to suffer the consequences. This war, however, was not like any other war. Its casualties began to mount up only after the war was won, and have continued to mount up since 1972 claiming millions of human lives annually, exceeding the rate of casualties of the worst wars in history by a large margin. This evidently was the goal that the ban of DDT was intended to achieve.
Given the high cost of this ban, and the ten year fight to achieve it, it is safe to say that this ban would not have been achieved without the already established precedent in principle that had been set up through the eradication of the PCBs. This puts the war on the PCBs into perspective. Neither is it likely that without the now prior banning of the PCBs and the DDT pesticides, the still more destructive ban of the CFC refrigerants could have been achieved, which is expected to cost the life of upwards to 40 million human beings annually, once the refrigeration base begins to break down. And even this, unimaginable cost becomes only the foundation for the next assault on humanity that the Global Warming hoax is intended to accomplish, and the latest increment in the ideological war that has targeted the methyl bromide agricultural fumigant.
Today, the already successful banning of the most benign chemicals ever created by man, is used as foundation for demanding the catastrophic ban on fossil fuels and agricultural protection, which may well be implemented in steps, but which will inevitably collapse civilization as we know it.
It should be noted that this carefully orchestrated escalation of a type of ideological terrorism against the support systems of humanity is the result of a calculated strategy to destroy human life. It should be noted, that the demanded ban of the use of fossil fuels (or the dramatic reduction of it) is not combined with an offsetting call to develop advanced nuclear energy production that is free of CO2 emissions. The technologies exist that could replace the fossil fuels, should there be a real wish to do so. They are found in the already operating fast breeder reactor technology that is safe, and is virtually waste-free, that completely uses its nuclear fuel rather than leaving mountains of radioactive waste products behind. The technology is currently fully developed. It could replace all fossil fuel energy production any time mankind desires. In fact, such an implementation would be a milestone of progress for the human race, ushering in an era of plentiful affordable energy for human living.
