Perhaps more studies will show that people in the immediate vacinity of those using cell phones are at risk as well. And there are issues with bee colonies and cell phones, which could lead to world wide crop problems.

Look into it and you'll find that pretty much all large studies find zero correlation between brain tumors and cell phones though small and generally poorly designed studies occasionally pop up. But yes, it could still bear out.

The bees and cell phone stories was a press misunderstanding of a small unrelated study that somehow quickly became internet gospel (how shocking for science reporting). It was quickly debunked with the authors of the study themselves going to great lengths try and repair the misconception.
