[ RadSafe ] Nuclear Power/ Greenhouse Effect/ Massive AfricanHuman Impacts

1, DDT is effective, now, in certain areas limited by US and EU. No significant resistance.
 
2, CO2 supplement I have seen to double the growth rate of sour orange trees AND halve the water usage in the Phoenix test. Other growth factors were much less important.
 
3, Crichton, and MD, notes carefully that his references are NOT fictional. Indeed they fir my much more extensive bibliography.
 
4, Authority in med school would still ridicule Heliobacter pylori, for which the Nobel prize in medicine was given last month. Trust data, repeatedly verified, not authority, James.

DDT prohibition is proven to kill millions of African children yearly.
Genetically modified food prohibition starves millions yearly.
CO2 levels to 600 ppm from present 360 ppm could double food production
(proven)
They are not related to human production (more CO2 coming into USA
than leaving)
and global temp is related more to sunspots.
More nuclear energy use with carbon saved more for plastics, flght fuel,
etc. is best.
Read Crichton's State of Fear. He references good science.

======================

The World Health Organization abandoned its decade-long program to
eradicate malaria around the world (a program based on DDT and
anti-malarial drugs) in the mid-60s, well before the banning of DDT in
the US. Apparently, med schools were not teaching about drug and
pesticide resistance when Dr. Long took his degree.

There are a number of elevated-CO2 experiments that show leveling off of
the CO2 fertilization effect as growth is limited by the lack of other
critical nutrients. Apparently, med schools didn't teach about
rate-limiting substrate components when Dr. Long took his degree.

_State of Fear_ is a work of fiction as is some of the "science" that
Crichton cites.
