People have called me worse.

Making the point that other dry places can manage. What makes you think Australia will 'run out of fresh water' soon?

A lot of agriculture in Oz/US depends on underground aquifers which are being drained faster than they are refilled. As the levels drop they have to drill deeper for water,eventually it becomes uneconomic,and that's the end of farming.

I’ve just stumbled across a Carl Sagan argument which he was making 35 years ago on Green spending v military spending. And the importance of being prepared.
It is put into sharp focus by the current NATO 5% pledge.

I wouldn’t put too much weight on the 5%.
Apart from helping out Ukraine it was mostly to keep Trump onside, and a vast amount could be well used to improve infrastructure in this country which counts towards the 5%.
