Technologists Practice Faith Too; 'faith That Problems

As The Earth Spins Through Space, A View From Above The North Pole Would Encompass Most Of The Wealth Of The World - Most Of Its Food, Productive Machines, Doctors, Engineers And Teachers. A View From The Opposite Pole Would Encompass Most Of The World's Poor.

My Entry Into The Environmental Arena Was Through The Issue That So Dramatically - And Destructively - Demonstrates The Link Between Science And Social Action: Nuclear Weapons.

The Environmental Crisis Is Somber Evidence Of An Insidious Fraud Hidden In The Vaunted Productivity And Wealth Of Modern, Technology-based Society. This Wealth Has Been Gained By Rapid Short-term Exploitation Of The Environmental System, But It Has Blindly Accumulated A Debt To Nature-a Debt So Large And So Pervasive That In The Next Generation It May, If Unpaid, Wipe Out Most Of The Wealth It Has Gained Us.

It Reflects A Prevailing Myth That Production Technology Is No More Amenable To Human Judgment Or Social Interests Than The Laws Of Thermodynamics, Atomic Structure Or Biological Inheritance.
