I suppose someone who is a bit more intelligent than Flannery was able to look at the historical rainfall figures and see quite clearly that what's happening in California is simply a drought and not a long term downtrend in rain. If there was an obvious downtrend, water desalination would have...

This in an economy slightly bigger than Australia's. Yep, typical drought. It's no economy buster. And no one will run out of domestic and drinking water, ever. Irrigation of crops gets cut first and always will. If you look at historical rainfall, it's just a drought. The world is a big...

Yep, this is the exaggerated alarmist garbage I'm talking about from believers. What a joke? Perhaps a million hectares of crop may not get water in Callifornia, but economic collapse and mass emigration? :D See ya's

Hey, no worries. I don't even really think I'm a true denier. Science tells us CO2 will warm the planet. I'm just sick of the exaggeration from the believers who have a vested interest in the outcome being bad. Agricultural production will be increased from a CO2 filled warmer, wetter planet...

Wow! You think I'm making it up and am a photoshop expert? For the first map, BOM website. http://www.bom.gov.au/ Click on "agriculture" below Click on "rainfall" at left Click on "Rainfall trends" at left You then get a whole heap of options. You can have just summer rain, or...

Perp, that article just proves to me how desperate BOM are getting to show they are not wrong. Look at the rainfall maps? The dates have been carefully cherry picked to get the map to look the way they want. To 2009 LOL. What happened after 2009? Two of the wettest years in Australia's history...

He claimed it had already dropped. There is no need to wait and see, anyone can look at historical rainfall information and see that it hasn't. See yas

He claimed rainfall in eastern Australia had dropped by 20% and that drought was the new norm. When in fact rainfall is actually increasing so very slightly. He was no where near correct. See yas

The simplest definition of paleontology I could find is "the study of ancient life". I'd have thought to be an expert on global warming you'd need to have studied climatology? Anyway, too bad he didn't learn how to interpret information from historical charts. He wouldn't have got it all so...

Flannery was a palaeontologist. I wonder how he became mixed up in the warming debate with a massive government wage? I think anything he says these days would get laughed off? See ya's.

I'm really getting excited about what's coming HE. What you've mentioned here could end up as a real game changer for where people want to live? I've got a relatively sunny spot, out in the backblocks, unlimited space to put solar panels, batterys, plenty of water from roof runoff and...

Probably due for some hot weather considering how cool all of summer was? And most of spring was hotter than average. See ya's.

Southern Australia rainfall. So we all agree it's getting wetter in the north? I fully realise that BOM continually tells us that the south is drying out. But all their info doesn't show it. Someone probably needs to get on there and make some adjustments do you think? See ya's.

Which ones? These are off BOM. My farm is in Northern NSW by the way. It's gotten much wetter where I live since 1938. See ya's.

I've showed you. Simply. Already. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/index.shtml There is thousands of rainfall collection sites here. Most are just normal people like myself. Happy to continue the discussion without personal insults. Insinuating myself and my neighbours as being inbreed...

Ha ha. When someone resorts to personal insults you know they have no response and you've won the argument. That's always been true in all facets of life. Love it..:D See ya's.

Here is the data sets from BOM. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data/index.shtml Go for your life. point out which ones show a drying. :D See ya's.

As for aquifers running dry, that's over pumping of underground water. Over use of fertilizer? Yep, whatever? Waiting for another cut and paste? See ya's.

Seems I'm arguing with a latte sipping Wikipedia expert who knows how to cut and paste. Did you even look at the link? It shows what I said? It's all on BOM. See ya's.

I've gone over all this before. http://somersoft.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1102652&postcount=70 Most of Australia is getting wetter. Most of the world is getting wetter. increased CO2 means increased crop yields which means more food to feed everyone. That's why an extra 40 million tonnes...
