Nothing could be more important<\/strong> than the long-term survival of the peoples and ecosystems of planet earth; today, both are under threat as never before. And yet public support for environmental protection has dropped rapidly since the 1990s, when environment was once recognized as a bipartisan issue. \u00a0Today, in the cacophony of endless amusement and popular culture, the majority of Americans are asleep to the reasonable and often urgent calls to action by environmental scientists.<\/p>\n

The sleep of reason produces monsters,<\/strong> as\u00a0Francisco Goya once said. \u00a0A country built on science, technology and engineering cannot suddenly abandon the foundations of its existence without severe consequences. \u00a0 Similarly, a country built on political dialogue cannot abandon its\u00a0past if it is inconvenient or politically threatening to a few business interests.<\/p>\n

The sleep of history produces monstrous myths.<\/strong> Among these myths we find the idea that environmental controversy is new\u00a0and\u00a0that it is loaded with unfair political prejudices. \u00a0Another myth is that\u00a0people who\u00a0abandon\u00a0science will still be able to leave a legacy of freedom for their children.<\/p>\n
