Quote by Garrett Hardin
Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and hated? This is because in part what they have to say is new to the general public, and the new is always alarming.
Summary
The quote suggests that ecologists and environmentalists are often feared and hated because their message is unfamiliar to the general public, which tends to find new ideas alarming. Ecologists and environmentalists often bring attention to critical issues, such as climate change and the destruction of ecosystems, that challenge established beliefs or require significant changes in lifestyle or industry. Consequently, their message can be met with resistance and fear from those who may be hesitant to accept the need for change or feel threatened by the potential disruptions it may cause.
