So anthropomorphic caused climate change will increase rainfall and reduce droughts and the need for drought assistance?

Excellent, here's me thinking it was bad thing

Didn't that fraud Flannery say it would never rain again enough to fill the dams? HAHAHAHA!!!

Greens_Lunatic definitely ain't the sharpest tool in the box, lol...

The rain isn’t up the east coast; it’s coming from a tropical low in WA, moving through SA, Vic, then up through central NSW and into QLD.

Most of the drought affected areas are well away from the east coast.

Great for the country to finally tap into the building wet up the top end.

It’s putting out bush fires and watering a vast amount of the country that had baked under the recent heat.

Great news for so many people!

Hysterical crap filled rubbish for others.

Interview with Professor Tim Flannery

Reporter: Sally Sara

First Published: 11/02/2007

SALLY SARA: Well, making good use of water is one of the subjects of this week's interview. Professor Tim Flannery has warned climate change will impact on Australia to the point where Sydney can expect to receive 60 per cent less rainfall than it does at present. If that's the case, what about the bush? What can Australian farmers expect as weather patterns alter? I spoke with Professor Tim Flannery about climate change, water and the intriguing subject of carbon trading. Professor Flannery, congratulations firstly on being named as Australian of the Year.

PROFESSOR TIM FLANNERY: Thank you very much.

SALLY SARA: What will it mean for Australian farmers if the predictions of climate change are correct and little is done to stop it? What will that mean for a farmer?

PROFESSOR TIM FLANNERY: We're already seeing the initial impacts and they include a decline in the winter rainfall zone across southern Australia, which is clearly an impact of climate change, but also a decrease in run-off. Although we're getting say a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas of Australia, that's translating to a 60 per cent decrease in the run-off into the dams and rivers. That's because the soil is warmer because of global warming and the plants are under more stress and therefore using more moisture.

So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams

and our river systems, and that's a real worry for the people in the bush. If that trend continues then I think we're going to have serious problems, particularly for irrigation.
