Dons I presume) maybe some perfectly valid; deaf, dumb & blind as anywhere. But,since 2005, we do have a "Bar Des Sciences(BSc)." It's the only one in the EU in a town with a population of <100 000p (38 000p actually)- The BSc is the most frequented in Europe, I am led to believe. So through this and a good general public library with Internet we are genned-up on Global Energy/Climate-Change (CC)& of course_"The Golden oldies!":"Global Over Population Famine_Starvation_Drought_Water & Atmos. Pollution_Unemployment, loss of 12 000p in about 10y". And "for all that and all that" Space Exploration & is a favourite crowd puller.

I realize that whole exercise was done basically as a PR exercise at the AAAS meeting in Boston, but it does show that there is some simplistic and wayward thinking going on at the top of those ivory towers, does it not?<BR/><BR/>db<BR/><BR/>PS Preciously ---> Previously???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
