Business-Managed Environment

Roger Bate

According to Natural Resources New Service "Bate has made a name for himself in anti-regulatory circles while avoiding not just scrutiny but outside attention of any kind" by "injecting himself into environmental and health debates, often at a technical level, despite having no formal scientific credentials".

His books include:

The Excellent Powder: DDT's Political and Scientific History cowritten with others (2010), which extolls the virtues of DDT.
Global Warming: Apocalypse or Hot Air? co-written with Julian Morris (2000), which casts doubt on global warming.
Life’s Adventure: Virtual Risk in a Real World (2000), which lists ozone depletion, climate change, tobacco, pesticides and nuclear power as 'junk science-based scares'.
Fearing Food: Risk, Health and the Environment co-written with Julian Morris (1999), which defended intensive agriculture, agrichemicals and genetically engineered crops and criticised organic agriculture.
What Risk? Science, Politics, and Public Health (1997)
