DIRECT FROM GEOTHERMIA
An expert warns:
Australian of the Year Tim Flannery, a climate change expert, said Adelaide was at a “significant risk” of a water crisis within the next six to 12 months ...
Fetch the sandbags! Flannery’s been predicting water shortages forever, and it always ends in tears - megalitres of ‘em, direct from Gaia’s loving clouds. Not that Flannery need worry about Australia; he’s off to North Carolina and New Mexico for more lectures:
Tim Flannery believes human activity is drastically altering the earth’s climate, and these changes will have a devastating effect. In The Weather Makers: How Man is Changing the Climate and What it Means for Life on Earth, he traces climate change and exposes the human-induced impact. He proposes a plan to halt and reverse this trend.
Starting with a cut in air travel. Well, maybe for you people.
UPDATE. “This is actually Flannery’s second swing through North Carolina this year,” emails Gordon. “What a busy boy! In March he spoke and signed books at Davidson College as a Henry Louis Smith Lecturer.” Gordon also points out that tickets for Flannery’s October 15 UNCW show are just $9 - and free for UNCW students, faculty and staff: “Compared to Algore, Flannery’s a bargain.”
