Poison knows no politics

Speaking of Courage for the Earth, the Rachel Carson tribute featuring contributions by a wide range of her colleagues, friends and adherents, here’s an excerpt from an essay by a total Carson fanboy named Al Gore:

“We have banned certain pesticides at home, but we still produce them and export them to other countries. This not only involves a readiness to profit by selling others a hazard we will not accept for ourselves; it also reflects an elemental failure to comprehend that the laws of science do not observe the boundaries of politics. Poisoning the food chain anywhere ultimately poisons the food chain everywhere.”
