A decent back up plan would of been to build more dams however unfortunately Green faith won out. Both Brisbane and Melbourne rejected commonsense and paid multiple millions when not needed because they listened to their High Priests who are now in hiding.

You also obviously have not seen how much water their is in the Kimberley's in WA. The West has always had 'climate change' like every other part of the world. You might not want to rely on the 'Almighty' but He is certainly a lot more reliable than those of Green faith as shown all up and down the Eastern sea board.

I certainly have runner, but I am also aware of the fact of what it
would cost to pump it south, a few thousand km. Desalination plants
are a much cheaper way to do it.

Oops runner, I recall a few hundred million praying for the last
pope. The old boy still fell off the perch. You are free to pray
for rain, but I don't like your chances.

If it doesent rain, even dams are not much good.

& if you believe that Talisman, you are just the one I'm looking for.

Mate I've got these bridges---.

To all the climate Denialists:

1. Why don't you like the Radiative Forcing Equation? None of you are challenging the basic spectrometry of how Co2, methane, and other greenhouse gases actually interact with long wave length radiation are you?

2. What do you do about the fact that we are quickly running out of fossil fuels. We've pretty much burnt the cheap half, the low hanging fruit. From here on in the price will go up and the production will go down. They'll cost more. We've past peak oil, and are about to hit the arc of decline. Then we'll pass peak gas, and within 20 or so years pass peak coal!

And why do you guys invest so much time and effort in protecting an industry that is unfairly subsidised? Fossil fuels increase particulate pollution that causes asthma, lung and throat cancer, and a bunch of other nasty diseases. But our taxpayer dollars pick up the health cost, and the coal companies sigh with gratitude. This is outrageous. The REAL cost of coal would probably not be reached even with a carbon tax!

Climate denialists too often come across as anti-science, but don't also realise that they are anti-public health, and anti-market. If you want a distorted energy market, leave things exactly the way they are. The BIGGEST subsidies for energy by far in this country go straight to King Coal and Big Oil. We're talking 10 billion dollars a year!

I would like to see the feedback that Spencer talks about kick in - no sign of it at the moment just getting warmer every decade.

This was posted on a science blog.

I don’t understand how anyone can neglect these 4 basic facts:

1) Greenhouse gasses absorb infrared radiation in the atmosphere and re-emit much of it back toward the surface, thus warming the planet (less heat escapes; Fourier, 1824).

2) CO2 is a greenhouse gas and thus has the capacity to warm the planet (Tyndall, 1858).

3) By burning fossil fuels, humans activities are increasing the greenhouse gas concentration of the Earth (Arrhenius, 1896).

4) Increased greenhouse gas concentrations lead to more heat being trapped, warming the planet further (Arrhenius, 1896).

Anyone that is neglecting these basic facts without some substantial evidence that contradicts them should not be paid much heed.
