Science is rarely using common sense & logic unless they're stumped for saving face !
Most everyday-ers rely on tried & tested & proven without the need for Govt funding.
This method tells us that people are using too much of everything & it is now unsustainable even with the insipid 'Growth' mentality.
The insanity of manipulating Nature rather than work with it & enhance it is just that, Insanity !
It's all down to the excesses of people rich or poor ! We need to agree to settle on sustainability & work like hell to achieve it. A good first step to achieve the mentality is a National Service unless someone has a better & proven idea ! Birth control can be achieved by the removal of baby bonuses & maternal leave & pay schemes.

INDIVIDUAL,
what's your problem with science? It can deliver vast amounts of cheap water via desal, and I don't even have to spend $10,000 dollars on huge tanks and water filters. We work from home and for various reasons to do with our garden choice etc use a fair bit of water.

I'm happy to pay a stepped water rate much like income tax rate, with higher users paying more to subsidise the water bills of the poor or extremely efficient.

Then everyone here with tanks would pay even less for mains.

Happy?

what's your problem with science?
Max Green,
Who said I had a problem with Science, I love it ! It's the many pointless & useless & incompetent & taxpayer money wasting Academics placing themselves under the umbrella of Science.
You know those Arts Degree holders who couldn't make themselves a sandwich, they're the ones I have a problem with & the moron bureaucrats who dish out funds to them !

So you don't have a problem with science, but then you define science as those arts degrees types that can't make a sandwich.

Riiiiight.

Riiiiight.
Max Green,
You know what I mean, admit it !

Hey Indiv, they CAN make a sandwich !
