The precautionary principle has been adopted but it not applied evenly

It should be applied to actions of leftards but they ignore it unless it suits their agenda

Ah, so you do support the precautionary principle after all. Good for you IQ.

Why do you leftys lie so much?
Does your blinkered perception reduce your morals as well as your intelligence?

However, as a guideline for public policy, this feature means the precautionary principle is fatally flawed, because it automatically leads to unwise decisions:

The precautionary principle can be used to support any position or its opposite, regardless of their relative merits.
The precautionary principle forces those contemplating the introduction of a technology to prove a negative, i.e., that their technology is harmless, or nearly so. Since proving a negative is impossible in principle, few attempt this. But the precautionary principle, if it were routinely applied (which it is not), would prevent all new technologies from being used, despite claims to the contrary. This would not, as some claim, be an abuse of the precautionary principle; it is the very essence of it. There is no fundamental distinction between cases where the precautionary principle leads to absurd results, like preventing the introduction of fire or the electric light, and cases where it leads to a result that saves lives. If technological advances have been implemented, it is only because the precautionary principle was not followed.
The precautionary principle includes under the rubric of "new technologies" not only inventions, but also phenomena whose very existence is under question, thereby assuming that they do exist as real possibilities and are therefore a risk. In so doing, it allows arguments that would not otherwise be admitted because it is not known whether the doubts are reasonable. With the precautionary principle, any conceivable danger must be considered, whether or not it has been shown to be physically possible. Advocates of precautionary principle say that delay in waiting for evidence to decide the issue factually is unacceptable because a delay increases the damage, while acting beforehand is safer. However, this opens the door to an endless series of more and more improbable "risks" that act as barriers to new technologies.
The precautionary principle ignores the risks of not introducing the new technology, which could be more severe than the risks of the technology itself. In other words, the precautionary principle is nothing more than one half of a risk-benefit analysis--the 'risk' half--and is therefore incapable of assessing the true impact of a new technology.

No wonder leftys like you revel in its ambiguity
