Did we have to read it? A scientist saying scientists can or can't do this doesn't mean much... Scientists discovered ozone depletion. Scientists discovered what caused depletion. Scientists pushed for a political resolution. Scientists and politicians can be both scientific and political. In fact, our system is better when they're both. I love Lawrence's books and some of his speeches. I just don't buy this kind of stuff. Also, "publicity stunt" is "in the eye of the beholder". Not quantitative and unscientific so meh. If doomsday clocks can get people to take action, they should. If it was as easy as education - we wouldn't need this post or Lawrence saying what he did. We have a society that shuns education as elitism, anti-capitalist, socilist or whatever they believe.
