Mary Lou McDonald is a lawyer from an anti-pesticide charity, not a scientist.

Do you have anything that refutes her points? Or are you just resorting to the ad hominem fallacy?

[–] Greg 0 points 2 years ago (23 children)

Firstly, the burden of proof should be on the person making the claim and Mary Lou McDonald offers no evidence for her claim.

Secondly, I'm not making an ad hominem fallacy. I'm not attacking Mary Lou McDonald's character. I'm pointing out that she is not an expert in this field.

@Greg @Rodeo

The first burden of proof is on the pesticide manufacturers/nation users who have put forth the request to raise limits through their lobbyists.
