90% of Enviro Skeptic Books Have Think Tank Roots

And the ones in the 1970s already have proven to be correct. Any bets on whether those numbers will change? Already we're seeing the Gorebots change their mantra of "Gore-bal Warming!" to one of "Climate Change!"

This is set out well in Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear.”

One of these was The Disaster Lobby: Prophets of Ecological Doom and Other Absurdities by Melvin J. Grayson and Thomas R. Shepard (Follett, 1973). Declaring that America was entering an "age of unreason" in its approach to environmental issues, the authors noted, among other things, that the number of malaria cases worldwide had been rising since the pesticide DDT was banned, and they dubbed Rachel Carson's bestseller Silent Spring (Fawcett, 1962), which inspired the movement to ban DDT, "the book that killed."
