Didn't that luminary, Tim Flannery, have a lot to do with the white elephants especially with State Labor Guvnuts??
Remember this, just ONE of his many useless quotes:
"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"
In June 2007 he said that, "Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, water supplies are so low they need desalinated water urgently, possibly in as little as 18 months"!
So yes, send him the bill for all the desal plants. And this, most costly and useless Australian got, yes you guessed it, Australian of the Year gong in 2007!! Go figure!
