EPA Gets Its Ass Kicked By Federal Court

[Liar]

I did read it, he says. And then prove he didn't.

Mercury has to be coaxed out of the rocks. Once it has been it is highly mobile and highly toxic. Lead is a naturally occurring substance that is not highly mobile. It stays put. Like a lead weight. Dumbass.

Not to mention it is asshole greenies like you that advocated MANDATING that every home for ever application light is needed create a hazmat risk.

Who are these asshole greenies to whom you refer? Show me a link to anyone besides a lamp-making company who wants to mandate a hazmat risk.

I did read it, Action Toy Boy. The court simply closed the gate on EPA's horseless cart. Like the canard of DDT, it's a bullshit issue, based on junk science.

If you read the article and actually understood the content you would know that the EPA was on the same side of the issue as the NRA in favor of dismissing the suit.

I'm guessing the exhaust fumes from your 3rd childhood (Let's face it, you're MUCH too old for a 2nd childhood) fiberglass jackwagon have affected your mental capacity which, while we're being honest, wasn't stellar to begin with it seems..

You either didn't read it or didn't understand it. Which is it?

Once again Vetteman slinks away from a massive fail of a thread.

It must be... pretty much any day of the week.

It's even more fun to watch now that his failures are concentrated to this board.

True, they don't get pushed off of the front page nearly as quickly.

DDT?

DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a powerful halocarbon insecticide[1] with a controversial history. It is an extremely stable and decay-resistant chemical: the discoverer found that jars that had contained DDT and were subsequently autoclaved[2] still had enough DDT residue in them to kill insects. A little goes a long way.

DDT use was restricted and then banned in most Western countries in the 1960s and '70s, and in those countries where it remains legal, it is only used as a health measure to control the mosquitoes that spread malaria. Only China and India still manufacture it.

DDT bans and mass murder

"[DDT] should be used with caution, only when needed, and when no other effective, safe and affordable alternatives are locally available."

—Brenda Eskenazi, explaining the scientific consensus on DDT[3]

Horrifically stupid wingnuts (Lee Doren is one example) and experts for hire will sometimes imply that a supposed worldwide ban on DDT has killed millions of people by giving them malaria or some other mosquito-borne disease, and that Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was responsible for the alleged ban. The myth seems to have originated from the Competitive Enterprise Institute and from libertarian Roger Bate (and is promoted by his organization Africa Fighting Malaria).

Carson devoted some of her book into weighing the pros and cons of DDT use,[4] but her findings did not lead to a global ban. There was (and still is) no global ban on DDT; only agricultural use is banned. Places with deadly mosquito-borne illnesses still use DDT, and in some places excessive use has led to the development of DDT-resistant mosquitoes.[5][6] In fact, the drastic reduction of DDT use in agriculture delayed the onset of resistance in mosquitoes.

Not only is DDT still approved by WHO for use against malaria (in indoor residual spraying,[wp] which is the spraying of walls of a home so a mosquito landing after it bites should get a fatal dose), but the Persistent Organic Pollutants Treaty (POPs) has a special clause for DDT.[7] Any nation may endorse the treaty calling for an end to DDT; but any nation may also use DDT at any time, for severe health reasons, by essentially writing a letter to WHO saying, "We have a health problem we think DDT may be useful to combat, so we're going to use DDT."[8]

DDT?

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's no surprise that Vette thinks the whole DDT thing was manufactured. I mean, it's not like there was any proof of entire species of birds being threatened because of the effects of DDT on their reproduction.

They also didn't bounce back after DDT was banned.

I already proved it was a junk science hoax and posted the evidence on the GB, dippy.

If you have it, you can post it here just as easily.

"Junk science" was an unfortunate choice of words there, BTW.

You've never proved a thing in your miserable life. And when it comes to science, you ALWAYS look like a moron.

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

Whether or not it had its arse kicked earlier, surely it will now?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Lead is a naturally occuring element. If you wanted to do something for the fishies, how about not insisting on mercury filled CFLs?

So is mercury.....so are dozens of other super toxic/radioactive things.....what is your point?

That's mega corp esp from china pushing for the CFL's....not environmentalist.

It's even more fun to watch now that his failures are concentrated to this board.

Point blank ones like this are the best.....he never owns up to it and never admits he could ever be the slightest bit mistaken, and if you call him on his bullshit he ignores you. Because god forbid he learn and change his views...that's just communism!!

The man, and I use that term loosely, is a world class coward.
