为什么我们继续破坏我们赖以生存的地球生命支持系统，尽管有大量的信息记录了它的恶化？您关于自然科学家和社会科学家之间需要更富有成效的关系的社论是及时的（自然462，825-826; 2009）。作为自然科学家，我们不能把社会科学和人文科学看作是我们自己专业知识的附加物，或者是我们所谓的更精确或客观的认识方式的附庸。整合不同视角的见解将有助于打破阻碍实现可持续未来的社会和政治障碍
Why do we continue to undermine Earth’s life-support system, on which our survival depends, despite a wealth of information documenting its deterioration? Your Editorial on the need for a more productive relationship between natural and social scientists is timely (Nature 462, 825–826; 2009). As natural scientists, we must not see the social sciences and humanities as an add-on to our own expertise, or as subservient to our supposedly more refined or objective ways of knowing. Integrating insights from different perspectives will help to break down the social and political barriers that obstruct ways of finding a sustainable future
