I remember the absolute farce of BoM declaring that SA was still in a drought after the wettest winter in decades and with spectacular timing made this pronouncement during 48 hours of continual very heavy rain in Adelaide.

It made them look very silly.

Yes, I remember that, however the BOM has never had an issue with looking silly.
I also remember the expected prediction that's made each year by the BOM haruspex wailing into his bucket of cows intestines, that the north of the country will see more cyclones and of increasing severity.
And we wait, wait, and wait some more.
I suppose statistically speaking that if it's said for long enough, one day it might actually happen.

during the worst of the drought Mildura had green parks and green verges and green lawns because everyone used murray water in blatant violation of the restrictions - including the council.

Perhaps you’ll be kind enough to supply some proof on this?

Mildura was as dry as a nun’s ****. Dead laws, dead nature strips, the park down the road was dead

And just how TF did people get “Murray Water”? Run pumps and hoses from the dam river?

Even road crews, the trotting track, had to fill up their water trucks at a water station that was pumping ground water.

But hey, I only live here, what would I know…..

obviously not in the town itself. it was a running joke around a lot of SA and vic how you drove in to see the stage 3 restrictions signs while the council was watering the median strips during the middle of a summer day.

So 5% is inadequate??

For what?

Reducing Global Warming??!!

Even if Australia reduced it's emission by 100% - it's would not reduce global temperature

We all know those people who hose wash their cars during water restrictions. The ones who justify their gross stupidity by arguing that their actions alone don't make any significant difference.

Well next time you see someone like that and have an overwhelming urge to punch them in the face, feel free, chances are it's probably Maqqa.

so VIOLENCE IS THE ANSWER?

do you still shower in a bucket MOTR??... or have you ev er done so anyway?..

I read where our rubbish has more or less doubled since we have become ecowise.. Roll Eyes

landfill has shot up...now please dont tell me that all because of sceptics?......

just because we question the science .. doesnt mean we are slobs and dont do our share...
and I am sick of those that think like that.

It was a figurative expression, cods. I'm not actually advocating we punch Maqqa in the face.

But distract away, cods.

REALLY???..

THATS NOT THE WAY IT READS... AND MACCA ISNT EVERYWHERE..

BUT WE ARE USED TO MEANINGLESS EXCUSES. FOR LEFTY BEHAVIOUR.

Of course Maqqa isn't everywhere, cods, it's not as if I'm going to go around whacking every prick who ignores water restrictions on the off chance he's Maqqa.
Wink

Now, how about you address the argument, cods. What do you think of people who ignore water restrictions because they think their contribution to the problem is insignificant?
