In Science a reasonable doubt should not paralyze action

   Why should Senator Whitehouse speak with less certainty about human caused climate change than the scientific experts themselves, the ones he has the good sense to listen to ? Science and technology did not land us on the moon in 1969 inhibited by " an admission of ignorance and uncertainty ".
Medical science is far from understanding the human brain but skilled surgeons do not hesitate to operate on a living brain.
In physics quantum uncertainty does not stop IBM engineers from spelling I-B-M with single atoms.
A reasonable doubt about anything should not paralyze ACTION. We have a planet to lose. Let the ONE PERCENT worry about a stock market crash.
Thank God for Senator Whitehouse !
