A forest in Colorado had Spruce Budworm back in the 1930's. They
sprayed with DDT. It killed the worms. The trees died, but their roots
did not. A new tree grew out of each root structure right next to the
dead tree trunk. We now have the world's weirdest forest, with a dead
tree and a distorted live tree right next to the dead one. This would
not have happened if they had not sprayed.

I was flying up in Canada west of Prince George. There is a huge area
there infected by pine beetles. The locals are bemoaning that the
government doesn't do anything. Trouble is, there isn't any fix that
will give a better result than mother nature running her course. Been
there, done that.

I'm not saying there aren't times when insecticides are appropriate.
But not always. Biological systems are very complex. We humans just
don't know and don't have all the tools to do the right thing. Nature
does. Just give it time.

Environmentalists cause the most damage.

Yeah, just like flashlights create cockroaches when you point them into dark
corners.


Banning DDT has caused more deaths than any dictator. Muslims should be
envious of the success environmentalists have had in killing and causing
suffering.
