I've been following the discussion but didn't want to post anything since I didn't see a point but it's really starting to become ridiculous. Aside from a few extremists (like Greta) noone is talking about stopping industrialization. I don't understand where you get this impression from. You said it yourself - using water treatment falicilities for example. That's exactly the point!

You can have industrialization without excess polution. Whether it's by introducing filtration falicilites, using alternative sources of power (e.g. solar, wind energy) or whatever else you can think of. It's not either or. Will it cost more in the short-term? Sure. But in the end it will benefit everyone. And that's what we all should strive for.

It doesn't even matter whether climate change is caused by humans or not. In every single case less polution is better.

You still have to produce energy to run those plants which will inevitably cause pollution on a large scale so you're still likely making a trade-off ...
