I'm bothered by the attempt to suggest we either have a particle accelerator or a global warming research centre (or whatever it was called). I can't see why they are related, and imagine there is room for both. I don't think human knowledge and striving for it should be reduced to a question of what the practical benefits of it are - that sort of thinking didn't put man on the moon. So overall, not a very well argued position from my perspective.
