I am simply talking about the everyday conduct of science. — WISDOMfromPO-MO
What do you mean by everyday conduct of science? You are probably not yielding results because it is so broad. Are you talking about the environmental impact of technology? — TimeLine
Are you familiar with Paul Feyerabend? Sounds like you'd like some of his stuff. — darthbarracuda
You really have not answered the question, what exactly are you looking for? Do you want google to find an all-encompassing result on the environmental impact of technology or do you want information about specific things like electricity or gasoline having a negative impact on the environment? It is a huge subject that requires condensing. — TimeLine
I want to know the environmental impact of a specific enterprise: science. — WISDOMfromPO-MO
What I am trying to say to you is that there are certainly sources, but you would need to condense what you mean when you say science because the subject is so broad it will yield either too much or none at all. There is no specific enterprise "science" but that science is a term that explains a number of things and thus you would need to condense that search to those things. So, the impact on the environment and energy consumption, even then you will have oil, gas, agriculture, supply chain, even further still politics, economics, law etc. When I said that you had not answered the question, what I was attempting to ascertain is what you mean by Science. — TimeLine
He's all about keeping science separated from state so as to maintain human freedom and liberty. — darthbarracuda
A Google search for "environmental costs of science" yields nothing... "Ecological costs of science" also yields nothing.
