Obama Climate Czar Carol Browner Is Causing The Bedbug Epidemic

Ther has been much news on the bedbug epidemic that is seemingly washing over the entire country.

But why now? The Daily Caller had this today as to the root cause (via Instapundit): Is the EPA to blame for the bed bug 'epidemic'?

Though they've been sucking humans' blood since at least ancient Greece, bed bugs became virtually extinct in America following the invention of pesticide DDT.

There were almost no bed bugs in the United States between World War II and the mid-1990s.

Around when bed bugs started their resurgence, Congress passed a major pesticides law in 1996 and the Clinton EPA banned several classes of chemicals that had been effective bed bug killers.

...in the pre-1996 regime, experts say, bed bugs were "collateral damage" from broader and more aggressive use of now-banned pesticides like Malathion and Propoxur.

The article also indicates that research at the University of Kentucky show the pesticides now banned by the EPA are still deadly effective at eradicating bed bugs. The EPA is in no mood to rescind the ban either. But there is one aspect of the article that the Daily Caller didn't pick up on. Fortunately, we have Henry Payne over at the Michigan View who had this flashback:

This is a direct result, as predicted ten years ago by The Detroit News' Diane Katz, of the EPA's zealous, anti-science ban on Dursban - a common household pesticide - under Clinton appointee Carol Browner -- now Obama Climate Czar - in 2000. The bed bugs have come home to roost.

Carol Browner, Obama's "Climate Czar" is a self-described socialist that has demanded the breaking of federal law. (Obama Climate Czar Carol Browner: Put NOTHING In Writing! Breaks Federal Law!)You have to wonder what research she buried to push her agenda through back then. Recall this about Obama's czars:

Want one person to blame for your beg bug nightmares? Blame Carol Browner.
