Equally, science is used to justify the existence and deployment of environmental threats, such as nuclear power and genetically modified organisms.
Our opposition to these technologies has led to accusations that Greenpeace is 'anti-science'. This is far from the case. We depend on science and technology to provide solutions to environmental threats.
