Re: No, I think the enviro policy of limiting DDT was reasonable.
Kleptocracy is certainly a part of any suffering of the African people, but such corrupt governments have been there since day one, and the graph I showed has a solid relationship to the discovery, use of, and abandonment of DDT, and no such real correlation to the number of kleptocracies in Africa.
Fortunately, some Third World uses of DDT are exempted, and still legal, otherwise the situation would be much worse. And they are working on substitutes for DDT, but it isn't easy.
