YEARN FOR WARMENING
It’s briefly dry in Sydney, but we’ll soon be back to ...
Rain, rain and more rain. That’s the forecast for the next two months as Sydney yearns for a little ray of summer sunshine.
The incredible deluge has been filling dams at a rate of knots and has put the Kurnell desalination plant site under water.
Appin’s Cataract Dam is full for the first time since December 1999, with water starting to spill on Thursday night.
Shoalhaven’s Tallowa Dam, which supplies that region and is used to top up Warragamba Dam during dry spells, is also full ...
With no more rain and unchanged demand, Sydney now has enough water in storage to last for 3.1 years.
Given the current mood for sorriness, shouldn’t reckless drought fearmonger Tim Flannery be asked to apologise? Possibly he’d react with his famous lofty disdain. I wonder how Flannery’s defenders are feeling these days; damp, I guess.
Flannery will simply do what he assumed humans could not do when faced by changing climate: Adapt
And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Flannerahan,
“If this rain doesn’t stop.”His acolytes will not even notice because it is the doom that counts.

Good luck.
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2008 02 10 at 06:11 AM • permalinkThere is so much water in Tallowa dam we have been instructed to wash our cars twice a day and not to shower with a friend any more.
(I think this means you can shower with an enemy - yes?)
Posted by surfmaster on 2008 02 10 at 07:18 AM • permalinkFlannery apologise?
Not a hope in hell.
Once you realise how much ‘face’ he has invested in this venture, you understand that there is no going back for this guy - he has to keep pushing his barrow of warmening.
It’s not science that’s driving him and his ilk anymore - it’s the terrifying prospect of loss of face.
Someone give him a katana and let him be put out of his misery. It’s the only option.

Ahem! *cough* Just as we realized that Global Warming was not strong enough a phrase to express the truly catastrophic scale of man-made Climate Change, we must once again review the terms we use to describe this unprecedented challenge to the very survival of our planet earth.
New data sets have now been added to climate models that prove beyond question that mankind’s energy consumption is causing Worldwide Deluge. Unless we take action right now and cease all industrial activity, the world’s deserts could be completely inundated by floodwaters within this college semester.
It is far too late for Geothermia, my friends.
Our engineers will now design a rescue craft 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high, sufficient to safely accommodate all the world’s academics, two by two.
Don’t be fooled by this. President Bush has a weather machine that he is using to manufacture rain in Australia. This is done for the sole purpose of discrediting Flannery and his global warming thesis. Will the boobs of Australia buy into this neo-con weather?

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2008 02 10 at 11:47 AM • permalinkFlannery is most likely trying to squeeze every shekel he can out of the global warming marks, before they wise up and put away their wallets. It’ll be a long dry spell for him…...
;-P

Oh, no! Global-warming-caused flooding!
Posted by andycanuck on 2008 02 10 at 01:17 PM • permalinkThanks for the Steyn link, blogstrop. I love the thought of the glowball warmenistas realizing, “Uh, the sun? It’s a source of heat? I never knew!”
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2008 02 10 at 02:31 PM • permalinkWhy has nothing ever been done - even in the recent years of drought - to capture the vast amounts of water that rain down on Sydney (she asks in exasperation)?
From Premier Iemma’s parallel universe:
RESIDENTS of the southern Sydney suburb of Kurnell could have been forgiven the odd wry smile as they walked past the site of the city’s new desalination plant yesterday.
After more than a week of steady rain the site of the $1.9 billion project, which many locals vehemently oppose, looked more like a swimming pool than a solution to the drought.
Don’t forget us up here in Queensland, the
SunshinePouring Cats and Dogs State, Tim. Didn’t Flannery predict our dams to run dry as well? Thanks to La Nina, they’re starting to do nicely in South East Queensland - 35% and rising, I believe (not forgetting that half of Queensland has just been completely flooded).ENSO is recognised as a cyclical and natural part of the Earth’s climate. No doubt the global warmenists are working hard to establish a link with their pet theory, so far to no avail. Our ability to predict an upcoming El Nino episode is, however, getting better, so if you want to know if it will rain next year in Australia, check that forecast.
You might as well consult your ouija board before listening to Flannery. It’s difficult to believe he honestly thinks Australia’s drought had anything to do with climate change. But since there’s no social or financial gain to be made from blowing the climate change horn of doom, what could have made him decide to engage in such outright deception? Oh, wait…
But, but, but aren’t floods also caused by climate change? And droughts. And hot days in summer. And cold days in winter. And hurricanes and tornados never happened before climate change.
And there’s always some place having drought or floods or storms or sturm und drang somewhere on the planet.
I’ve always been fascinated by environmental reporting. A glacier retreating is a disaster unless its advancing then its a catastrophe.
