GASP ! Climate change is NOT the cause of our drought.
This drought ISN'T caused by climate change,so says the head honchos at CSIRO.
So where does this leave us mere mortal non-politician type peoples?
The one's who don't have Green lawns?
Less than 15 years ago you'd have been lynched by your local council for daring to have a rainwater tank.These days the State Govt can't throw enough money at you to install one.Suppose it's cheaper than building a new dam.
So if this drought isn't climate induced,then the current bushfires are simply due to poor fuel reduction management ? Suppose it's cheaper to get volunteers to deal with the fires than to pay workers to prevent them.
And if the Thompson Dam catchment area is still currently burning(it is) despite Melb Water claiming "Melbourne Water invests about $1 million a year on fire prevention and suppression to protect the security and quality of our water supplies"...then where has the money gone and where HAVE they been reducing the fuel load ?????
