L'imposture @Matadon_

Ou pourquoi il faut arrêter de croire ce qu'il racontre sur l'#agriculture, la #biodiversité et d'autres sujets.

Un thread en 22 tweets sur un #NoFakeScience qui falsifie la science.
Version longue : factsory.org/2020/imposture…
Souvent pris en référence sur les sujets #agriculture ou #biodiversité, Matadon dit en fait tout et son contraire, ne corrige pas ses erreurs, fait tout pour critiquer démesurément le #bio et approuver sans limite le #glyphosate et les #OGM.
Il prétend que le #glyphosate est meilleur pour la biodiversité du sol que le bio, en utilisant une étude qui ne dit pas cela. Il pare le bio de tous les maux. Vante les mérites d'un pesticide dangereux, etc, etc.

Our new investigation just out detailing how @EPA is still approving products that contain the worst pesticides

This includes pesticides that EPA has mandated use reductions or incentivized replacement like #chlorpyrifos, methyl bromide and #atrazine

I went through FOIA records on new pesticide products that were approved by the EPA in 2017-2018 and found that most new pesticide product applications, about 94%, are ultimately approved

*All denials were procedural in nature, not because the product was deemed too dangerous
A review of individual ingredients in the products that were approved from 2017 to 2018 indicated that many contain the most hazardous pesticides still in use, some of which have been banned by multiple other countries and even targeted for phaseout in the United States
