GreenPolicy360: Our Position on the Copious Use of Science


A central goal of GreenPolicy360 is to provide news of environmental and related political and economic initiatives, science and data.

As an eco-resource reporting developments within a wide range of environmental fields, GreenPolicy360 looks to facts and 'good' science.

Our site attempts to be an e-resource that features reporting that is factual and verifiable. We approach eco-questions and -challenges with a problem-solving perspective.

In general, when considering questions of environmental risk, environmental security and action agendas, we advocate far-sighted approaches following the "precautionary principle".

When posting content to the GreenPolicy wiki community we urge focusing on facts and science as it endeavors to provide policy and political guidance.

We recommend sites like the Stats science website among many online sources established to investigate claims made regarding environmental science and critical issues regarding climate change.

Within the rainbow of reporting of green/environmental science and eco-news, we welcome fact-checking and reasoned discussion and debate.

Pale Blue Dot from Cassini July 19,2013.jpg


"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance,

the delusion that we may have some privileged position,

are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark ....

There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

This distant image of our tiny world...

underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another,

and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've got."

--Carl Sagan
