Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery in June, 2007:
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.
So let’s check the Queensland dams that Flannery warned could be empty by January, 2009:
DRENCHING rains have delivered southeast Queensland enough water to last until 2018 without another drop falling from the sky.
