The Wages of Eco-Angst
By DAVID ROPEIK
Anxiety: We worry. A gallery of contributors count the ways.
Even today, when media warnings about the latest health or safety
risk are commonplace, the incessant drumbeat of reported environmental
hazards can be truly alarming, leaving us worried, like the followers of
Chicken Little, that the sky really is falling. But while plenty of
these threats are serious, some of the most frightening eco-bogeymen are
not nearly the dangers that many presume.
Real dangers can arise when we get risk wrong.
