As a scientist who knows the politics of science being funded by government, of the pitfalls of scientific modelling, and of the poor record of science to predict the future, I would prefer to take my chances and be self-sufficient. And I would guess others would choose as I do if they fully understand the situation. But alas, democracy more often than not equates to idiocracy.
