Two of the Dalai Lama's public statements made during his appearance at MIT stood out as of interest to this group:
After* Penny Chisholm <http://cee.mit.edu/chisholm>, *a professor of environmental studies at MIT who lists as one of her current interests "the ecological and policy dimensions of large-scale ocean fertilization" on her website, *made the case against geoengineering* as a strategy for dealing with climate change, i.e.: "We don't understand enough, nor can we understand enough about our world to be able to control it one parameter at a time...", the Dalai Lama responded first by confessing his own scientific ignorance, then by saying: "It is our responsibility to look". Kerry Emanuel <http://eaps4.mit.edu/faculty/Emanuel/> was also one of the presenters. After he asked: "How can we be persuaded to make material sacrifices to reduce the serious risk of climate change?", the Dalai Lama responded with: "For some people, the message from religious leaders can be more effective" "Maybe you and I should have a road show", Emanuel is said to have joked.
