Contemporary Ideology Forum hosts Dr D. Parr on the Precautionary Principle

29-10-2004 11:37

Dr Doug Parr, Chief Scientist of Greenpeace, will be talking the Precautionary Principle in relation to new technologies, GMOs, nanotechnology and wind power. He will argue that the Precautionary Principle can be applied in all these cases, but this can still lead to differing positions on what to do. This is because underlying some of these judgements is a differing set of values. He will attempt to draw out how this relates to three sets of people: (a) Greenpeace, (b) "the public" and (c) "the establishment" (both scientififc and political).

This is in line with earlier actions that tried to styop him testifying at all. It is a shame!

29-10-2004 01:43

They decided to move the ballot boxes to Kabul citing the need for secure counting.
