Mosquitos keep spreading because you stupid hysterics leftists banned the use of DDTs. Your retarded environmental policies create a vicious cycle of confirmation bias.

Greentexting isn't an argument you brain-damaged fucks. The truth is that third world shitholes are a breeding ground for mosquitos because you assholes completely banned the use of DDT elsewhere in the world, of course you don't care because you don't live in an area with malaria or dengue. These fucks could've been easily exterminated within a generation just by spraying DDT on the outside of buildings.

You realize that malaria was endemic in most of Europe and the US before we interfered with the environment and went into full-blown genocide mode against them.

Malaria returning is more about bleeding heart enviromentalists like Rachel Carson that LIE to the public through populistic books so we restrict wonderful pest controls like DDT.

With continued use of DDT malaria would've been extinct today, but congratulations rachel carson, you've got the blood of 50 million and counting people on your hands.

Thank god we managed to eradicate Variola Major before her time or she would've made some retarded statement that had preserved it.

Pro tip: mosquitos are resistant to DDT

Yes, and bacteria have developed resistance to Penicillin. Mosquitos have developed resistance to DDT precisely because we stopped using it, allowing them to breed resistance to it.

Also the fact that wetland breeding grounds for mosquitoes are now sacred. Filling them in or draining is illegal, and any construction project that impacts them has to create new wetlands a multiple of the size of the wetlands affected.

It's very clear you are fresh from your containment board without a clue of what you're talking about.

That's literally the opposite of how pesticide resistance works. DDT becomes less effective the more you use it. In fact, even for insecticides that aren't harmful the environment, it's recommended to rotate them because that acts as a safeguard against a new generation of insects that are selected for resistance against any one pesticide.

Go back to /pol/ you fucking retard. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE crossboarders

>>7802001
SO HOL' UP
YOU SAYIN
*smacks lips*
You're saying there's selective pressure for DDT resistance because DDT is NOT currently used?

I for one fully support parasite chan, something needs to check runaway human population and I don't think a bunch of globalist bureaucratic teat suckers at the UN taxing hydrocarbons are up to the task.

Take your meds as well, nothing in my post said anything about climate change -- just pointing out your misunderstanding of basic biology and natural selection.

>>7801938
I do live in a shit third world country called Brazil and i can asure you that the mosquitos spread are due to the lack of education of the poor people.

Like leaving stuff that can acumulate water in open sky,so when it rains the mosquitos can reproduce in there.

It`s not a climate problem it`s an education one.

A couple of good GOP voters there. Fuckn librels.

There was never any proof that DDT was harmful with the exception of Rachel Carson's book. It's a shame that /sci/ is clearly politically biased to the point where they're no longer a science board and more of a "let's believe the most liberal thing possible" board because chemicals and business is bad.

>>7803491

If it's so good, go and spray some in your face every day for a year and report back to us with empiric data.

there are species of mosquitoes that already inhabit colder climates

>>7803503
The "evidence" that it's such an awful chemical would be preferable to birth defects and children with third world diseases and deformities.

Are mosquitoes more important to the food chain than we realize? They are the singular insect I can think of that feeds off land animals, oops remembered fleas. But do they prop up some unseen by me food chain with the animal protein they consume?

>>7803571
Who cares? The sooner we kill them all of them the better. Remove mosquito. Mosquito genocide best day of my life.
