Is Mise,

If one reads Flannery they will find it difficult to argue with his conclusions.

I hope all this rain and floods don't affect Soot's Half Price Holiday Deals.

I was looking to spend a week in sunny Port Macquarie this week.

Hmmmm . . . . . . . I wonder if Soot gives refunds.

Dear mhaze,

What on earth is this? "Equally he never said they would fill again."

He never said the world was flat either so he may well be a flat earther. Bollocks.

Flannery made repeated attempt to correct the narrative about 'never filling again' which was put out by people like Bolt and lapped up by useful idiots like yourself.

As to Sydney it was only last year that the NSW Water Minister has said "“We have never seen dam levels drop this fast in Sydney, so we need to move as fast to shore up our supply.” Levels were at 43% and being shored up by the desal plant.

Now we have received some rain all you lot are dancing around naked in it shouting "See I told you so, water shortages cause by GW are a myth".

What tossers.

SteeleRedux,

They fail to recognise that these La Nina 100-year rains and floods have their origin in the global warming problem just as much as the El Nino droughts and heatwaves do.

It's not one weather type offsetting the other weather type. Both are becoming more frequent and more intense as the greenhouse gas effect starts to bite and becomes more protracted. Just like the scientific community has been warning over the past 60 years.

Problem is that the really dumb people just cannot see what is happening making life miserable for those who can.

Steele,

"What tossers."

Is that in the European or the Australian idiom?

SR wrote with, sadly, all the eloquence at his command..."He never said the world was flat either so he may well be a flat earther."

Well since he hasn't discussed that issue, we'll never know. But he did discuss dams and rivers and left the issue completely ambiguous. Deliberately so.

Only when it became clear that he was wrong did he start to clarify or more exactly make up excuses.

"Flannery made repeated attempt to correct the narrative..."

Good, show us some. But not after the rains filled the dams, but in the early days of 2007. Because that was the time when he let it remain on record that the dams wouldn't fill and let the-sky-is-falling crowd scare governments into wasting billions on desal.
So rather than just shooting your mouth off SR, show us where Timmy tried to correct the record in 2007.

Have you been peeking again?

SR wrote:"See I told you so, water shortages cause by GW are a myth".

I guess you missed the quote in my first post where the IPCC also said there was no evidence of a change in the trend of floods over the past century. But yeah, I agree... they are tossers.
