And you are also wrong in arguing that DDT was actually effective in stopping the spread of malaria, when it was well documented that the specific vector quickly developed a tolerance for DDT, and could not be controlled by DDT.

Clearly you are making the case that we should believe in global warming because the only argument you can make is by drawing an comparison to a purposeful lie, the lies that DDT was banned and if DDT hadn't been banned no malaria deaths would have occured, when both are lies.
This sounds like Liberals creating death and disaster to set up another welfare scam.
