Above article in a New Zealand publication in 1912

"Remember your humanity and forget the rest" - Joseph Rotblat

Rotblat quoted this from the Russell-Einstein manifesto when he received Nobel Peace Prize in 1995. He was the only scientist to walk away from the Manhattan Project on moral grounds.

Biophilia

“That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.” Henry David Thoreau

“An economic system centred on the god of money needs to plunder nature to sustain the frenetic rhythm of consumption that is inherent to it. I think a question that we are not asking ourselves is: isn’t humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate and tyrannical use of nature? Safeguard creation because, if we destroy it, it will destroy us. Never forget this.”  Pope Francis 2014

EO Wilson says that in ecology, as in medicine, a wrong diagnosis can cause far more harm if it is negative than if it is positive. X has diagnosed that there is no harm to our planet if we continue to emit a million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every hour. The vast majority of scientists who study this very complex area have diagnosed critical problems if we continue with a belief that the planet can cope with this abuse. Anyone looking at this objectively would see that the enormous risks of a wrong diagnosis are simply unacceptable.
