In 1960, the WHO parachuted cats into Borneo to fix a problem it had created by spraying DDT. The insecticide killed the cats' prey and caused a rat infestation. The cat drop shows how human interventions can have unforeseen consequences for nature and people. #OperationCatDrop #DDT #Borneo https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/times-humans-messed-with-nature-and-it-backfired?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

@m0urs Ja es muss unbedingt wieder DichlorDiphenylTriethan in den Sümpfen versprüht werden. Das war Sarkasmus Man nennt es natürlich nicht einfach #DDT

"While effective in eliminating dangerous #mosquitoes that carry #malaria, #DDT also has a variety of #hazardous effects: Especially among young children, the chemical has been shown to damage the nervous, immune, endocrine, and neurological systems, not to mention its devastating influence on the natural #environment. The spread of DDT across mid-century America is mirrored today by the success of #Monsanto (one of the companies that originally manufactured DDT) in placing its #GeneticallyModified products on store shelves before researchers have a full understanding of their larger ecological impacts."

What Were We Thinking? The Top 10 Most Dangerous Ads

A look back at 10 colossally painful advertisements.

by Hunter Oatman-Stanford

"While some faulty campaigns were merely the victims of evolving scientific knowledge, many blatantly ignored facts in their race for the #dollar, using so-called experts to promote products terrible for public health, like #cigarettes. Revered professionals like doctors and scientists routinely told us precisely the wrong things to do, as they are likely still doing today."

2/2 #DDT is ontdekt in 1874, in 1939 in gebruik genomen, was rond 1960 zeer verdacht en pas in 1973 verboden. Albert Schweitzer: "De mens heeft het vermogen verloren om vooruit te zien en te voorkomen. Hij zal uiteindelijk de aarde vernietigen."

1/2 Bron: @Astrid_Bumke. De gevolgen van het middel zijn zo ernstig voor onze gezondheid, voor de biodiversiteit, de waterkwaliteit. De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie zegt dat glyfosaat wel degelijk mogelijk kankerverwekkend en neurotoxisch kan zijn. Het bewijs is overduidelijk." Ja helaas wel, de vergelijking met het uiteindelijke verbod op #DDT dringt zich op.

Skeptoid #246: Corrections, Errata, Blunders, and Boo-Boos by Brian Dunning #gluten #celiac #ddt #theomnivoresdilemma #SkeptoidPodcast #podcast #bot Skeptoid revisits another batch of episodes with errors, and rights the wrongs.

#SilentSpring came out of the indiscriminate over-application of #DDT (mixed with kerosene) as part of government attempts at fire-ant eradication (also anti-mosquito and anti-spongy-moth programs). It included aerial spraying on private land and in densely populated areas when the landowners didn't want the spraying to happen (c.f. Murphy v. Butler, 1960).

That's just fundamentally a different problem from someone using Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on their tomatoes.

The fact that it is #GLEAT that is getting Kota Ibushi's first match in Japan since leaving #NJPW and not #DDT is actually surprising. I am not sure if it is because GLEAT has UWF rules matches and that's what he will do or if it is to have a match with some of the #DragonGate guys that found themselves there. Either way, I can't wait to find out who Kota is gonna face.
