Now For Something Completely Different

Rachel Carson is the author of the environmental classic Silent Spring. In it she argues against the use of DDT as a pesticide.  She was hailed by Al Gore as a founder of the environmental movement.  Recently, after almost three decades, the World Health Organization decided it would once against use DDT to kill mosquitoes in order to fight malaria.    Rich Karlgaard (HT Instapundit) asks a pointed question: how many people have died because of the ban on DDT?    Now the question is whether Al Gore is the next Rachel Carson and whether that's a compliment.
