Sorry, one more thing...

The Precautionary Principle is EXACTLY about uncertainty (not shouting - can't underline). It states that "if the science is not completely settled, it is better to act anyhow to prevent possible bad outcomes".

It almost seems above as if you are saying that because you are not certain, you choose to stay above it all and just observe and wait, and see if we wreck the planet or not. So, of course you are completely free to bemusedly watch and scold, but for me, the "someone else" who may find out might be my daughter. (If I have misunderstood or mischaracterized you - apologies).
