You've sighted a bogus study that took DDT off the market. This was because the egg shells of eagles was being destroyed by DDT. Turns out that wasn't the case and it was an over zealous save the planet tree hugging, don't shave your legs woman who created the study for grant money. I'd like to know how many charges of murder should be brought against her. There are an estimated 50 million humans who died from mosquito born illnesses that would be alive had DDT been used. But then again, she was trying to save the planet.... Yea right.
thats not the point.
but keep trying.
"on the brink of extinction? "
