DESCRIPTION:As students of the world\, we must think carefully about the ro
 le of journalists\, scientists\, politicians and religion when it comes to
  the environment.  To quote the Doobie Brothers (1978): 'What a fool belie
 ves he sees\, no wise man has the power to reason away.'\nIn 2004\, Americ
 an journalist Bill Moyers was awarded a Global Environmental Citizen Award
  by Harvard Medical School.  In his acceptance speech\, Mr. Moyers spoke c
 andidly about the number of Americans who believe that environmental destr
 uction is a (welcome) sign that we're fast approaching the second coming o
 f Jesus.  He emphasized that this belief is held by many policy makers in 
 Washington.  In Canada\, politicians do not air their religious views in p
 ublic\, but they are expected to explain their policy decisions. Recently\
 , our federal government revoked most federal environmental laws and elimi
 nated government funding for science without offering any explanation at a
 ll. To figure out what's going on\, Canadian journalists like Lawrence Mar
 tin are saying that we must begin to study the behaviour of government muc
 h as a scientist approaches the study of any living thing: by gathering cl
 ues about what makes them tick.
