Good people can do bad things, whether Patrick Moore or Edward O Wilson.
Successful scientists, like politicians, tend to become arrogant. In
NATURALIST (p. 272), Wilson describes how he and a crew from National
Exterminators sprayed parathion on entire mangrove islands to kill every
living animal organism, to facilitate his colonization experiments. Some
beetle larvae survived, so he then caused the islands to be fumigated with
a poisonous gas. Not my concept of environmentalism.
