OverviewThis timely expos reveals Erin Brockovich's role in inciting public fear regarding the oil well at Beverly Hills High School. The author describes how Brockovich's methods to link the oil well with cancer occurrences in former students were suspect and questions the veracity of Brockovich's claims, using interviews with subject experts and studies done by the Air Quality Management District and others to disprove them. Focusing upon the Beverly Hills case, the author positions Brockovich as the poster child for what she terms green porn, sexy Madison Avenue slant thats misleads citizens, distorts scientific information, and neither informs nor educates the public.
