"Silent Spring" The book written by Rachel Carson. This book has caused the death of about 50 million Africans. It was based on "feelings" and the facts were distorted. It was the start of the Echo Freaks and they are still with us today.

Agreed. This was one of the most evil books ever written.

Absolutely. I would also nominate The Population Bomb (1968) by Paul Ehrlich, which predicted famine and food rationing in the 1970s, total depletion of oil reserves by 1980 and possible human extinction before 2000. In a later work, Ehrlich actually sugggested the forcible sterilization of men in India (but not Red China) as a possible solution to over-population. Absurd as they seem today, these predictions were vastly influential at the time and Ehrlich remains a revered figure among eco-wackies (aka the genocide lobby) to this day.

I was just coming here to say that. This season, the big charity push is fighting malaria. I’m a little cynical about the fight against something we already know how to destroy with DDT.
