Rachel Carson, author of "Silent Spring", a piece of shoddy science that has probably caused many millions of deaths by making up crap about a useful pesticide that slowed the spread of malaria by killing mosquitos.

Norman Borlaug, a guy who has saved what has been estimated at a billion people using actual, real science and making high yield, low pesticide wheat.

His efforts to help Africa were stymied by our tolerant, intellectual betters in EUnuchstan because he was making "Frankenfood".

So on the one hand we have a mass murderess who used shoddy science to kill people and she is feted in leftist circles.

On the other hand we have a guy who alleviated starvation for billions using science, and for that he can never be forgiven.

This world sucks sometimes.
