And it was recognized those actions were a crap shoot (Where good
science and policy goes bad: de-salinization plants
in Oz rather than managing episodic flooding, drilling 20,000 ′ below a seafloor 5,000 ′ under a precious biosphere to seek oil that is abundantl available on dry land, for examples), but can anyone name a project of doubt on the scale of this one where unspeakable trillions are to be spent, redistributed, productivity disincentized, where people's lives across the world will be thrown into
uncertainty, where this trans - generational mindset will, by design, crush the willful and spirited energy and creativity of human kind
until it is finally overthrown democratically or otherwise?
But that's crying over spilt milk; what we can do
in Science is apply inference to the observed data and determine what answer is accurate or very nearly true based on what data we do have
until such time as new data requires us to amend our explanation, not bemoan our
uncertainties and dither indecisively.
