also when he write this ,it shows that he is driven by emotions himself and
missinformed .

< I can tell you that the DDT ban has caused the deaths of tens of millions
of poor people, mostly children, whose deaths are directly attributable to a
callous, technologically advanced western society that promoted the new
cause of environmentalism by pushing a fantasy about a pesticide, and thus
irrevocably harmed the third world.>
if Ddt have been banned,  it is preciselly not in third world countries who
still use it abondantly . i have seen with my eyes childrens in short
spraying ddt on cashew trees.it have been banned in western countries but
not from selling it to third  world countries .
