Last week the Council of Australian Governments signed an Intergovernmental Agreement for reform of the Murray-Darling Basin. The new plan involves spending $3.7 billion on water projects across the basin. Is this money well spent and how effective will it be ?
Michael Duffy invited me onto his ABC Radio National program 'Counterpoint' to discuss the issue this afternoon. You can listen here: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/counterpoint/stories/2008/2296327.htm.

I do not believe this
And drongsey - the guru of MWP, Saint Macca says that at best we don't really know !
Luke,
I think there is some stuff on the MWP here.

[about 560 papers but they don't hold a candle to those beaut bristlecone pines. I mean, why are Canadians so good at ice hockey?]
Wes wankery
"Temperature flat to declinng" - probably explains why the Artic is melting? Or perhaps that CRU and satellites don't add in any estimates for that huge area? A duh !
"The Medieval Warm Period has been restored to its rightful place as the warmest period in the last 2,000 years." - says who you shonk - what's the evidence?
And how about a weather report for more of the globe that grape growing areas in southern England during the MWP ? You wouldn't be a selective shonky would you Wessy? No evidence Wessy (sorry says Wes - I only do prose not substance).
>Vikings growing grapes in GREENland and elephant seals depositing remains in Antarctica are in-your-face proof anyone can understand.
Wes there are still elephant seals depositing remains in Antarctica.
Where's your evidence Wes? This is an evidence based blog.
Wes George sounds like a non de plume anyway. Boy George would be more believeable. "Do you really want to hurt me?"
SJT,
Thanks for the homily but Luke's story on West Timor was about poverty stricken people left to fend for themselves.
As usual, he is obsessed with the idea that droughts only arrived with ACO2.
“What cooling Wes?”
Luke, you’re either a useful idiot or mendacious, which is it?
Fact is there is no warming of the troposphere and this fact alone is enough to sink the AGW hypothesis, but it gets a whole lot better.
The heat storage levels in the oceans are far too low for AGW orthodoxy either, that alone is enough to discredit AGW too, but combined with the cool troposphere it's fatal.
Worse, the surface temperature record is flat to declining for the whole bloody 21 st century, which admittedly is only the last eight years. However, it’s declining even with all the opaque manipulations by GISS and Had CRU to adjust the data to support the theory.
The Medieval Warm Period has been restored to its rightful place as the warmest period in the last 2,000 years. Vikings growing grapes in GREENland and elephant seals depositing remains in Antarctica are in-your-face proof anyone can understand.
Mann’s hockey stick is the modern equivalent of the Piltdown Mann. Can you spell Fraud?
Meanwhile, the orthodoxy rolls on seemingly oblivious to new data rolling in. They would be, after all “the science is settled.” Why would anyone bother to do more research? Debate is over.
“We must act now,” say PM Rudd, or “by 2100 a 92per cent decline in irrigated agriculture in the Murray-Darling Basin; a reduction of at least 7.8 per cent in real wages; and a $425 billion loss in potential gross domestic product.”
Whoa, that Rudd is a wizard! Wish I had me one of those yottaflop crystal balls to see the future down to the last percentage point. Could make me a killing in the stock market, eh?
Hang on a minute!
Why don’t the big banks all have their own yottaflop crystal balls to predict financial returns down to the last decimal point, like Garnaut?
Don’t know, mate. Lord knows they got the moolah.
The proverbial Sjt is about to hit the AGW fan and it ain’t gonna be pretty. I think Hansen was right, it's getting about time to start taking it to the courts.
It was a good choice to remain an anonymous troll, Luke. Imagine your shame in about 5 years time. That is assuming you are capable of feeling shame.
