<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Melting Antarctic glaciers may be releasing DDT, says study]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Wolverine http://www.grist.org/article/ddt1/ Tue, 27 May 2008 05:20:04 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/ddt1/1 Not To Further Vilify DDT?

Why in hell not?  Obviously, some people still think it's OK to poison the Earth with this crap, so vilify away.  In fact, all petrochemical pesticides should be vilified in all parts of the world.  Any crops that can't be grown organically shouldn't be grown, period, and even many of the plant-based pesticides should be elimiated.

As pestiferous insects swarm up the coasts like Killer Bees, the melting permafrost releases clouds of DDT southward.  Fanned by the flippers of helpful penguins, the DDT stalls somewhere in Camden, NJ they meet, annihilating the malaria squad and saving the nation.

While I'm quite fond of jabailo, and think his attempts at skepticism are humorous, I can't help but point something out.

The penguins in question live in the Antarctic, not the Arctic. It would be a neat trick to see penguins blow anything south to New Jersey.

Ahh well, I don't suppose he was going to factual accuracy anyway, given his other posts around here.
