61. The Heidelberg Appeal lord george porter, nobel Prize (Chemistry), Professor, Chairman, Photomolec,Sc Imperial College, LondonChemistry-Grande-Bretagne; http://www.sepp.org/heidelberg_appeal.html

The Heidelberg Appeal Background The Heidelberg Appeal was publicly released at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. By the end of the 1992 summit, 425 scientists and other intellectual leaders had signed the appeal. Since then, word of mouth has prompted hundreds more scientists to lend their support. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize winners, from 106 countries have signed it. In spite of this spontaneous and growing support from the world's scientific community, the Heidelberg Appeal has received little media attention. Neither a statement of corporate interests nor a denial of environmental problems, the Heidelberg Appeal is a quiet call for reason and a recognition of scientific progress as the solution to, not the cause of, the health and environmental problems that we face. The Appeal expresses a conviction that modern society is the best equipped in human history to solve the world's ills, provided that they do not sacrifice science, intellectual honesty, and common sense to political opportunism and irrational fears.

The answer is the same for both women and men as long as we have been human. One of the defining marks of humanity is our ability to affect and predict our environment. Science - the creation of structure for our world - technology - the use of structure in our world - and mathematics - the common language of structure - all have been part of our human progress, through every step of our path to the present.

The Lords, faced with a considerable amount of government legislation still to process, rose a week later and was due to resume a week earlier. During the summer the main topic of political debate was the widely predicted attack on Iraq, as the focus of the US's continuing "war on terrorism" switched from Afghanistan to its old adversary, Saddam Hussein. Despite the denial of the Prime Minister that any attack on Iraq was imminent, or that any decision had been made about participation by UK forces, there was continuous backbench pressure for a recall of Parliament and on 11 September the Prime Minister asked the Speaker for a recall in the week beginning 23 September.

It might seem that chemical reactions taking a few millionths of a second or even less are remote from everyday affairs: they are not. Underpinning George Porter's science was a bedrock of everyday reality, a profound concern for the future of mankind and for the interlinked biological and physical systems of the planet. He knew - and said as often as possible - that the sun and the chemistry of life on earth are inseparable, and that mankind must learn to make creative use of sunlight or perish.
