I blame Rachel Carson.
At the Harbor in Baltimore there is a science museum for children that has a section for the worship of Rachel Carson...
I took particular pleasure in a loud enough voice explaining to my nieces and nephews who RC was and that she was responsible for millions of deaths because of her bogus research and the politicians who bought her environmental ideology...
Needless to say I got several side glances from other patrons...Truth hurts...
Carson is up there with Mao and Stalin as the worst mass killers of the 20th century.
