Rachel Carson\u2019s Silent Spring was a major starting point that blamed DDT for many things including thinner eggshells <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.21stcenturysciencetech.com\/articles\/summ02\/Carson.html\">none of which proved correct<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, as Paul Driessen identified in Eco-imperialism: Green Power, Black Death, banning DDT led to millions of unnecessary deaths from malaria that exceed deaths from AIDS in Africa. <\/p>\n<p>A myriad of false stories made headlines over the last 40 years.
