Thanks rev. - very helpful. Don't remember it as bad from when I lived in Adelaide.

In answer to the bold - a bit like the theory of evolution being accepted as fact - yet full of 'holes' and still a theory. Interesting....guys - don't derail into this - only looking at similarities. BTW - the climate is always changing - agreed.

Just want to say to the man made global warming believers, the SA part of the Murray is experiencing it's biggest inflows in 20 years with possible flooding in low lying areas.
La Nina. :applause:

Not just picking on you here Rev, but you're all still confusing weather with climate.

"Believers" - It's not a case of faith, it's what theory best fits the metadata. All the FUD* from those with vested interests in the coal industry and co aside, there is evidence that we are having an influence on the global climate. I'm yet to see any actual evidence based argument that falsifies the theory. All I've seen so far is opinion-swaying lawyer/lobbyist style propaganda. I'm not 100% convinced that human influenced global climate change is real, but I am swayed by the evidence presented that goes way beyond the local experience of anecdotal memory.

The key term is "global".

Things not to mention that aren't a factor or a result of global climate change:
* El Nino / La nina
* The recent drought (We've been experiencing drought/wet cycles in South Australian for centuries. When the WWI solders came home and were given farms in compensation, there followed a long term drought that saw many walk off their land. It's weather cycle. Not to be confused with climate.)
* Local deforestation, or other landscape changing activity that influenced the local conditions (top soil loss etc)
* The rain in Adelaide.

Don't listen to the lobbyists. Learn to see the difference between peer reviewed scientific papers, non-science based FUD, and how it's all distorted through the lens of mass media.
