It also provides us with amechanism whereby we can refuse ethically to work on a particular project even thoughthe device itself may meet basic safety requirements. We also may refuse to work onprojects that held paramount public safety but excluded considerations of theenvironment or the impact our device might have upon a community.There is little doubt within the scientific community that the Earth’s climate is changingand that it is the activities, that is, the technologies of humankind that are playing asignificant role in producing the changes.
