So we look for alternative energy sources, and alternative sources of
fresh water. Like the fact that rivers do not retain all the fresh water
that falls from the sky. And that we can build our own water-freshening
systems.

So my moral still stands: beware of folksy, misleading epithets from the
anti-scientists. Or maybe not anti-science as such, just science-ignorant.
