It's sad we live in a world where people would rather not know risks than know them -- think it's worthless to find studies that determine these types of risks that most people wouldn't think of, or know how to calculate, or what would be intelligent things to do to prepare for them...
I guess if all you care about is the market going up, you're better off if people know about less risks.

It's even more crass: the interests of a few oil/coal companies allow us to paper over the very real dangers of fossil fuels &c. to the detriment of basically everyone in the world, every other industry.
