| Slinky--one of the most dynamic performers ever. You are most welcome, good music deserves listeners. Pathetic posts deserve silence. For the life of me, I don't think that NW understands either the environment in general, or the battles over wind generation. |

peeuno, yeah, maybe you're right, that eagle should get killed by a wind mill, after all he killed Bambi, what was I thinking.

NW--you are just pathetic. Trolling on a site about DDT, and arguing--apparently from a Breitbart link--that enviros are killing eagles. Too bad you didn't show any discipline, or bother to read any articles other than the right wing slam. Here's the rest of the story. The take permit that was issued allowed 5 eagles over five years. In exchange for mitigation to existing PG & E transformers that are now killing substantially more eagles than that. The wildlife agencies, which are not pushovers, believe it will result in a greater overall survival of eagles.
You are comparing that to DDT, which represented an existential threat to more than just eagles. Is it that you don't understand math, or that you don't care? |

Time to revive this thread:
| Quote: | Researchers at Dundee University have discovered a new compound which could treat malaria while protecting people from the disease and preventing its spread, all in a single dose.
The compound, DDD107498, was developed by the university's Drug Discovery Unit and the Medicines for Malaria Venture.
Scientists said the "exciting" new drug could work well against parasites resistant to current treatments.
Details of the discovery have been published in the journal Nature.
The World Health Organisation reported 200 million clinical cases of malaria in 2013, with 584,000 people dying from the mosquito-borne disease, most of them pregnant women or children under five.
Concerns have been growing about strains of malaria which are resistant to current treatments, which have already appeared on the border between Myanmar and India. |
It seems that investing in drug research, not Monsanto, is the best way to save lives. |
