专家笔谈:资源环境热点问题

Experts Interviews: Disputes on Current Hotspot Issues in Resources and Environment

重大的资源开发利用工程建设设想或实施往往容易引起社会各界的广泛关注。如何正确认识和科学评价各种资源环境热点问题是大家讨论的重点。文章认为任何重大资源开发工程必须遵循自然规律、生态规律、资源规律和经济规律,必须结合国家战略需求和地缘政治关系,开展前期深入的系统性综合调查,进行生态安全与资源工程安全评价和交叉学科论证,并对其科学价值、社会价值和经济价值等做出正确的判断。建议:未来的资源环境工程建设要谨防"大跃进",要科学认识自然资源系统规律,守护好美丽的地球家园;要切实履行资源科学家的社会责任,提倡基于科学研究和科学态度的学术争鸣,科学问题最好还是由科学家去讨论;一些争议大的科研课题慎用公益性研发经费来支持。

The proposal or implementation of major resource development and utilization project often receives widespread concerns from the whole society. How to correctly understand and scientifically evaluate various hot research topics about resources and environment is the key point of discussion. This paper argues that the development project of any major resources must follow natural laws, ecological laws, resource laws, and economic laws. We must carry out systematic and comprehensive pre-stage surveys based on the country＇s strategic needs and geopolitical relations, evaluate the ecological safety and the resource engineering safety from the perspectives of multiple disciplinarians, and make correct judgments on the scientific value,social value and economic value of the project. Authors strongly suggest that： 1） the future construction of resource and environmental engineering projects should not make forward in great leaps; 2） for protecting the beautiful home of the earth, we need to recognize laws of natural resource systems through scientific study; 3） resource scientists should fulfill their social responsibilities; 4） academic contending should be advocated on the basis of scientific research and scientific attitudes; 5） scientific issues are better to be discussed by scientists; and6） it should be very cautious to support researches on controversial scientific topics by public welfare funds.
