Silent Spring is a book written by Rachel Carson in 1962, documenting the harmful use of pesticides by the chemical industry and the lies used to cover it up. It has been credited with helping to start the environmentalism movement in the United States.
Criticism
Michelle Malkin and Michael Fumento wrote:
A daunting theme runs throughout Silent Spring — that man’s ingenuity would be his own worst enemy. And therein lies the essence of Rachel’s folly. Carson and her intellectual heirs in the environmental movement embrace a mistaken vision of technology. It is an impaired vision that considers only the risks of industrial chemical compounds, and not the risks created by their absence.[1]
