Reason T.V's list places the Paul Ehrlich's Malthusian population bomb drivel at number one, although I would give the nod to their runner up: Rachel Carson's pesticide scare that led to tens of millions of deaths stemming from the ban of DDT and other chemicals that were well on their way to wiping out malaria and other mosquito borne illnesses. Most of those killed from first world junk science were third world children and pregnant women.
