More "Shock! Horror!"

After every significant weather event you can be sure of two things:

1. Some crazy environmentalist will come out and say it was predicted by global warming models.

2. Some crazy "expert" will say how bad it will be for native wildlife and/or how good it will be for introduced pets.

Both have now happened before the water has completely returned to normal in Queensland.

Doesn't matter whether it is dry, wet, cold, warm, bushfires or blizzards.

Call it "Bates's Law" if you like.

It's probably related to the rule that if you ask enough experts in any field, you can find one crazy enough to support any proposition no matter how bizarre.
