I'm not claiming nor suggesting to solve the flooding problems of Brisbane. I am however, trying to plant ideas for those who can & have the interest to reduce the damage from the floods !

Green blob pressure got that stopped
Hasbeen,
same with our harbour ! I don't know what could legally been done about these gits !
Perhaps put them on a stranded boat at the out-going tide & let them get a taste for sandflies, sharks & crocodiles for a day & a night.

Good point about the dredging Hasbeen. Kudos.

Paul the water heights I quoted are from the Bureau of Meteorology official graph entitled "KNOWN FLOODS IN THE BRISBANE & BREMER RIVER BASIN". Do look it up, then you can apologist for suggesting I was not being truthful. I guess it is hard for any greenie to believe some people are actually truthful.

I know the Green Blob don't like facts, they tend to stuff up their lying scenarios, but these are official facts indisputable, until some arm of the Green blog manage to get them deleted. Meanwhile many of the really serious people have carefully archived them for the future, just in case they are altered as are previous temperatures to support the global warming scam.

From any perspective this February's rainfall has been extraordinary, but not unprecedented.

I received 619mm against an average of 123mm, quite a downpour.

However the official rainfall from the Bureau of Meteorology for Beaudesert, just 16Km away shows

550mm for February 1954 AND
674mm for February 1893.

I wonder if it was SUVs or Coal fired power stations causing this extraordinary rainfall 129 years ago.

What would be really extraordinary would be if it did not happen again, whether we burn coal or cattle dung to cook our dinner.

While the East Coast is drowning, Western Australia is in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave and Perth is at 40C for the fourth consecutive day and for the ninth time this summer. It was the turn of NSW to endure their worst bush fire season and heat waves only a few years ago.

Likewise there have been many record-breaking major flooding events, heat waves and climatic catastrophes overseas in recent years and I suppose such incidents could be considered examples of increasing weather extremes as predicted decades ago.

Arguing over symptoms rather than addressing causes is an interesting mental exercise but really just a waste of time and the chances are it will all happen again in another few years.
