It wasn't that way in science originally. It turned that way when they began using science for profit, at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, the end of which we're living through. But at the dawn of the enlightenment, Francis Bacon's New Atlantis presented the case for an ethical body guiding science, and he called it "The House of Solomon." They were to design futuristic, beautiful, healthy cities, and a major feature was to be large interwoven gardens.

Some interesting opinions here about surplus and overpopulation as he see's it.

Seems like a really intelligent guy who knows a lot about what he does. I wish he would more honestly characterize the climate change debate though. The real debate is about the complexity of the climate system(s), and the degree to which man's activities drive it vs. the degree with which it is driven naturally. To say "scientists debate whether we have climate change" is an oversimplification that a smart guy like him should not be making.

Even the beekeeping industry lacks ethics...look at how we have brought the bees to the brink of complete destruction and now the bees can't stay alive for more than a year. It is no longer about having a pristine ecosystem, but about a few making the majority of profits while watching the basis of the industry suffer from our blind greed.

Preaching ethics relevance to industry is most necessary and of the utmost value in current affairs. -
