“we can always start culling here”

What the ??!!

You entertain a fleeting thought about the demand side of the equation…. and then right back to thinking about how we can ever-increase the supply side!

This is exactly what I find so extraordinary Bazz! And so almightily unbalanced!

Isn’t the whole business about balancing supply and demand, instead of just blithely forever increasing supply in order to chase the tail of ever-increasing demand?

CSIRO’s words were very wise. But it appears that they overestimated. By all indications, with drought or irregular and reduced rainfall or climate change, or whatever it is factored in, it appears that water supply is going to limit our population to something well less than 25 million, which means that we may well need to adjust our population downwards, over time….and it means that we’d better damn well start addressing the continuously growing population issue with urgency!
