A modern comparable issue to Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” is the debate over Global Warming. Similar to Carson’s case, many are trying to get the government to take action on the Global Warming issue. Many of these “global warming fighters” have received the support from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "I promise to do everything in my power to achieve energy independence ... and to stop global warming," Pelosi said.
Another comparable issue is the War in Iraq. There are many anti-supporters of this war, including myself, who are waiting for the government to take some sort of positive action. I would really love to know Rachel Carson’s view on this war if she were still alive. Many have written books against the Iraq War, just as Carson did against DDT spraying. One book in particular is State of Denial by Bob Woodward. He argues in the book that The Iraq War is accomplishing nothing, and gradually getting more and more violent.

The democrats are saying that they will stop global warming....Watch it get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Congress. It'll hurt our generation the most, not theirs
