Precautionary Principle
| The Precautionary Principle helps us choose whether an action should, or should not be done without knowing the risks with certainty. | The Columns A+B Represent a Human CHOICE  Which column should we choose? | ||
| A) Action Not Taken | B) Action Taken | ||
| These Two Rows are a Prediction or Guess. The certainty of risk is unknown and unknowable. We cannot choose the row. | Grave-Harm Caused=False | Benefits of Action not taken. Life continues | Benefits Enjoyed. No harm done! |
| Grave-Harm Caused=True | Benefits of Action not taken. Life Continues | Extreme Catastrophe Economic or Environmental Collapse Large Loss of Life WORST CASE SCENARIO | |
