While Erlich is high on the list, would have to award the biggest science charlatan to Rachel Carson of Silent Spring fame.
Thanks to her about 12 or so million in Africa have died or are living with malaria. But she meant well.
You gotta put Erich von Däniken up there, too, though he isn't in the environmental science field, to my knowledge.
It isn't surprising that we have poor environmental law, when most of the people doing anything about it, in politics, that is, learned everything they know about environmental science from Pow-Wow, the Indian Boy, on Captain Kangaroo.

Rodge, the work to which you refer has to be "All the Trouble in the World" by P.J. O'Rourke. It's one of my all-time favorite books of all genres,
12 million fewer Travon Martins. Sounds like a win. Thank you Rachel Carson!
ANYTHING written by P.J. O'Rourke is well worth your time!

Not in the top 5, but that anti-vaccine guy who inspired Jenny McCarthy and that ilk deserves a shout out.
