• W2000730639 abstract "Although I have concerned myself with environmental and resource issues for four decades, early on I realized that the more I learned, the less I knew. This is so because the subject matter is all-encompassing. It includes our life-sustaining resource base the air, water, minerals, soil, forests, oceans, lakes and rivers, as well as all living things in the seas and on land, the relationship and influence of each on the others, plus economics, politics, religion, culture, and philosophy. This is a political-scientific mix of incredible complexity. And, though we will never know or understand more than a small fraction of the endless intricacies of nature's works, we can comprehend and learn the general principles that should guide our conduct as a society, if we are to preserve a liveable habitat. The overall general guiding principle can be stated in many ways. The proposition is, quite simply, that we must conduct our activities in such a way as to protect the integrity of our ecosystems and their resources, for these sustain life and determine its physical quality. Minimum achievable interference with natural systems must be our guideline. It is this resource base that defines the habitat and determines the limitations for survival of all species, plant and animal, within the larger global ecosystem. Whatever various and complex environmental guidelines industrial nations may be following, they are at this stage totally inadequate. Certainly, we all recognize that the resiliency of the living planet Earth has already been dangerously compromised, as it is losing its capacity to renew itself. The insults to the land, water and air are too many and too massive. The threads of the net that hold the world ecosystem together are beginning to unravel. It will take a massive coordinated worldwide effort to save what is left of the natural world and give nature a chance to repair some of the damage man has caused. If this sounds like alarmist rhetoric, it is because the situation is nothing short of alarming. My remarks this evening will be confined mainly to the political aspects of the issue, because it is in the arena of politics where we will succeed or fail to meet the environmental challenges so critical to our future. The pathetic dearth of political leadership, rather than lack of scientific or technical knowledge, is the single most important stumbling block to progress. However much scientific data we may accumulate is quite useless without imaginative and dedicated political leadership. A crucial part of that leadership must come from the President of the United States and the heads of state of the other leading industrial nations. When dealing with societal problems and challenges, the first order of business ought to be to decide which are most important and how they are to be addressed. The most" @default.
