A single compelling example of mass murder of genocidal scale
committed by environmentalists will do to convict Rachel Carson as the
first in a long line of killer-environmentalists. It's name is DDT.
DDT was banned by politicians riding a rollercoaster of mob action.
Regardless of the lies of trendy "scientists", not a single death from
cancer was ever proven against DDT. But the banning of DDT is counted
the first and the greatest of triumph of environmentalism.

Well yeah, sure, you make a compelling case!

Except for one thing. It hasn't been banned in tropical countries where
mosquito-borne illnesses are a major problem.

Oh darn, one other pesky thing about your logic. You only mention cancer as
the reason for banning most use of DDT. Nice try. Much of the environmental
movement is about reducing threats to biodiversity, and DDT proved to be a
very significant threat to wildlife (thinning egg shells and severe toxicity
to many fish and other acquatic species when DDT runoff from fields entered
streams and lakes). There may come a time when a lack of biodiversity
results in a genocide far greater than theone that you imagine to be
presently happening.
