Abstract

Modern civilization’s most distinct characteristics are due to science and science-based technology. In this Chapter, we exemplify these characteristics focusing on the prevalent impact of science and science-based technology on man, society, the environment and climate change, and on the fundamental role of energy in both science and society.

    It is conjectured (Reference 3, pp. 152–157) that cancer fundamentally involves mutations in four or more genes, and that the fact that it takes a sequence of four or more defective genes to cause cancer probably explains why it often kills years after an original incident (e.g., radiation exposure).

    The relative Global Warming Potential (over a period of 100 years) of CO 2, CH 4, and N 2 O are, respectively, 1, 21 and 310 (see Reference 18, p. 76 and references cited therein); that is, one CH 4 molecule causes as much damage as about 21 molecules of CO 2, while one molecule of N 2 O causes as much damage as about 310 molecules of CO 2.

    In Europe there is mistrust in the policies of public authorities and firms involved in the commercialization of GMOs and opposition to GM food because it is perceived as an invasion that is uncontrollable, involuntary and a threat to its culture. While in this debate there seems to be a lack of appreciation of the fact that absolute safety is not achievable on virtually anything, risk should be minimized; furthermore, the concern is a function of the nature of the risk involved. Risks directly relating to human health and potential long-range effects are primal.

    In 2010 “a Eurobarometer survey” (see “Science and Technology”, Eurobarometer Special Survey, No. 340, Brussels: European Commission, June 2010, p. 19) indicated that 50% of the Europeans agree with the statement “Europeans feel most strongly that scientists cannot be trusted to tell the truth about controversial scientific and technological issues”, while only 16% answered that they disagree with it.

    Worldwide-agricultural-model-estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change for biofuel production, has found (see endnote 95) that “corn-based ethanol, instead of producing a 20% savings, nearly doubles greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years”, raising questions about large biofuel mandates.
