Pamela_1988 asked:


There have been misconceptions of science/scientific fact or through the use of technology in regards to the approaches they have used towards the environment.

Why should those in particular ‘green’ lobby groups, stakeholders, and the community in general who are often opposing developments” have to understand the significance of science in environmental controversies? On what ground does science have to be understood by those who oppose it.

Is it so those who oppose technological development at the expense of the environment need to take science into account and understand this knowledge then to use it to refute those scientist?
