Ecofreaks: Environmentalism is Hazardous to Your Health

John Berlau, author of a new book on the environmental movement entitled Ecofreaks: Environmentalism is Hazardous to Your Health points out that tree-huggers may actually be squeezing the life out of the environment.  He writes: 

“America . . . is still mighty prosperous, but environmentalism is putting us on the brink of danger as well. As technology after technology that our grandparents put in place is being banned, and new technologies never even come to market, we risk a public-health disaster. Environmentalists have promoted all sorts of doomsday scenarios about population explosions and massive cancer crises from pesticides that have been shown to be false. But now, because we have done away with so many useful products based on those scares, we are in danger of an old-fashion doomsday returning, because we’ve lost what protected us from the wrath of nature. Indeed, as we will see throughout this book, public health hazards caused by environmental policies are already on the scene.”
