Re: The Precautionary Principle

[rick_strickert@URSCORP.COM]

There are a series of articles on (and mostly against) the Precautionary

Principle at http://www.iea.org.uk/issuepages/focuspp.shtml



Several of the "Links of Interest" are just that, including "The

Precautionary Principle, the Catastrophe Argument, and Pascal's Wager"

(http://www.abdn.ac.uk/cpts/cpts/manson1.hti).



For global warming, rather than follow the Precautionary Principle for

Catastrophes (PPC), the paper suggests a Modified Precautionary Principle

for Catastrophes (MPPC).



Oh, yeah, don't forget to vote if you visit the web site.  If you're not

sure, read the articles first.  ;-)
