Science Quotes by Charles, Prince of Wales (1)
Scientists themselves readily admit that they do not fully understand the consequences of our many-faceted assault upon the interwoven fabric of atmosphere, water, land and life in all its biological diversity. But things could also turn out to be worse than the current scientific best guess. In military affairs, policy has long been based on the dictum that we should be prepared for the worst case. Why should it be so different when the security is that of the planet and our long-term future?
— Charles, Prince of Wales
Speech, 'Global Security Lecture' at Cambridge University (28 Apr 1993).
