yet another global warming exaggerator

Just the alarmist for Gillard

Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery predicted global warming would leave out cities without water by as early as two years ago:


Over the past 50 years southern Australia has lost about 20 per cent of its rainfall, and one cause is almost certainly global warming....Desalination plants can provide insurance against drought. In Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, water supplies are so low they need desalinated water urgently, possibly in as little as 18 months.

Flannery predicted that thanks to global warming we?d never again see rains to fill our rivers and dams:


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.

Flannery predicts the world itself will grow a brain:


With Global Nudging underway, it?s just a matter of time. ?Once that occurs, then the Gaia of the ancient Greeks really will exist,? exulted Flannery. ?This planet, this Gaia, will have acquired a brain and a nervous system. That will make it act as a living animal, as a living organism, at some sort of level.?

So just the man for the Gillard Government?s campaign to scare us into accepting a giant green tax. David Speers reports on Twitter:
