A great article on the obligation of those in decision making positions to understand the science behind sustainable policy choices. Leaders need to make an effort to learn from scientists and scientists have a responsibility to communicate with leaders...In the modern, complex, technology-laden world we live in, there is no excuse for scientific illiteracy...it is essential that we develop a profession of managers who are not scientists, but understand science and technology well enough to integrate scientific fact into organizational decision-making... The goal of sustainability management is to maximize the productive use of our planet without destroying its capacity for continued use...the idea that a significant number of Americas elected leaders either question or profess ignorance about climate science is shocking...We need to invest in more advanced science and technology, and in understanding and managing the technology we use. theenergycollective/stevenacohen/421391/competent-leaders-need-understand-science-sustainability
