Topics Include:

Issue 1: Is the Precautionary Principle a

Sound Basis for International

Policy?

A. Yes: Paul L. Stein, a justice of the New South

Wales Court of Appeals, argues that the

precautionary principle is now a

cornerstone of international environmental

law and that the courts have a duty to

implement the principle even beyond the

requirements of legislation:

B. No: Henry I. Miller, a research fellow at Stanford

University's Hoover Institution, and policy

analyst Gregory Conko argue that the

precautionary principle leads 'regulators to

abandon the careful balancing of risks and

benefits, "blocks progress, limits the

freedom of scientific researchers, and

restricts consumer choice:


Issue 2: Do Environmentalists Overstate Their

Case?

A. Yes: Environmental journalist Ronald Bailey

argues that the natural environment is not

in trouble, despite the arguments of may

environmentalists that it is. He holds that

the greatest danger facing the

environment is not human activity

but "ideological environmentalism" with its

hostility to economic growth and

technological progess."

B. No. David Pimentel, a professor of insect

ecology and agricultural sciences, argues

that those who contend that the

enviroment is not threatened are using

data selectively and that the supply of basic

resources to support human life is declining
