Why can scientist find a solution to eliminate mosquitoes?
It’s fairly easy to get rid of mosquitoes using DDT. The problem is that it’s illegal. In the Olden Days, like the 1950s-60s, DDT was over-used, used in agriculture where it really isn’t appropriate, and as a result a number of predatory birds nearly went extinct. DDT lasts a long time in the environment, and only recently are bald eagles being re-introduced to areas where DDT had caused them to disappear. Of course, there are more expensive ways to control mosquitoes, but developing countries can’t afford them, so countless people have died of malaria because of the ban on DDT. Actually, if DDT were used in small amounts in homes, rather than in large amounts in the fields, it would not poison the raptors and lives could be saved. But humans are just not smart enough to figure that out. They are too busy figuring out other ways to hamper the development of poor countries, such as promulgating the “global warming” catastrophe and telling other countries what they can and can’t do.
