Jeff Schweitzer

Schweitzer was responsible for providing scientific and technological policy advice and analysis directly to Vice President Al Gore and the director of the OSTP.

He worked with President Bill Clinton’s cabinet and 22 U.S. Government technical agencies, and with countries throughout the world, in biology, physics, chemistry, geophysics, agriculture, oceanography and marine sciences.

He helped establish the permanent Global Forum on Science and Technology at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development[6] to promote greater international scientific collaboration.

Schweitzer contends that the GOP is hostile to environmental regulation, and claims that Republicans and Tea Party enthusiasts have recklessly and irresponsibly attacked reasonable attempts to clean our air.

[9] Schweitzer argues that war, overpopulation, poverty, destruction of the environment, intolerance, and indifference to the needs and rights of other life forms all result, to a large extent, from an obsolete religious moral code.
