The Sordid History of Scam Science

Very recommendable! Nice compendium of how many times fake environmental scares were perpetrated and propagated over the last 50 years or so! Love Canal and Silent Spring are just a few examples of these junk science and highly irrational scares!

"Most scientific scares are rooted in the extrapolation of current trends to the point of disaster or desolation with no thought given to the possibility of cyclicality, natural limits, or behavioral changes."
