As the red-skinned tribal leader says, "When the last tree dies, the last river dries, the last fish dies, mankind will realize that money cannot be renewed." Will we really understand? Do we know that "nature is not the inheritance of our ancestors, but the entrust of future generations"?
In my opinion, both are essential for the development of any country as the role of scientists and politicians are completely different. Both should run hand in hand in a positive way for the progress of our society as well as the country.
The problem is not politics, because politics is science, too
But the problem lies in who practices politics
I am with the view of Dr Nasser Farhat for brief and adequate explanation.
Dear Stefan Bernhard Rüster
I certainly agree with you. I wonder if these politicians, who are occluding their ears to science, are aware that, they are in here the world that they themselves have managed? The world is not condemned to politicians. But it has to be managed according to scientific rules. Ronald Fricke and Nasser Farhat are right at this point.
Look, as researchers, we work hard to immunize humanity from disasters, while politicians are taking us to disasters
Dear Martin Böhnert
I read your comments with great pleasure. I believe that human dignity and human happiness should be above all else. With political decisions, I cannot accept the killing or starvation of people, for their own underground and above the ground wealth. There is no doubt that the service of science to bad policies will harm humanity (like atom-bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki). But if the realities of science are turned into politics, there will be much better results for humanity and for this world. I think that the impact of political decisions on global climate change, water pollution, forest depletion, etc., is much greater. I think that scientific rules are the only ones that will improve humanity and the world.
Dear Martin Böhnert
I agree with you. And thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Dear Orana Paullus
Actually, I don't know about the Doctrines of the United Nations. But, I read Kyoto Protocol (https://unfccc.int/resource/docs/publications/08_unfccc_kp_ref_manual.pdf) and Ramsar Convention (https://www.ramsar.org/sites/default/files/documents/library/original_1971_convention_e.pdf ). Could you suggest me any (special) Doctrines of the UN?
I think we may to some extent...face reality or do something logical instead of heeding to lies and deceit
