Australia floods leave more than 16,000 stranded
04:45 AM Feb 05, 2012SYDNEY - More than 16,500 people were stranded across New South Wales as flooding in the north of Australia's most populous state cut off towns and damaged cotton crops.

About 2,300 people have been ordered to evacuate their homes, the State Emergency Service (SES) said in a statement on its website. In the neighbouring state of Queensland, engineers are assessing a levee in the town of Charleville that is at risk of breaking, Sky News reported.

The deluge has caused an estimated A$50 million (S$66.8 million) of damage, New South Wales Minister for Emergency Management Robert McClelland said in a statement yesterday.

Australia is the world's third-biggest shipper of cotton, and growers may lose 10 per cent of what was expected to be a record A$2.75-billion crop, the Australian newspaper reported.

In the New South Wales town of Moree, water levels are reported to be receding. But floods in Queensland state have risen to record levels in some areas, causing two regions to be declared disaster zones. Evacuations have been organised for some towns.

Major flooding occurred in Gunnedah, where the Namoi River peaked at 8.03m early yesterday morning, said the SES.

"These floods are going to go on for some time," said SES spokesman Andrew Edwards in an interview on Sky News television. Floodwaters from Queensland have not yet flowed through the river system into New South Wales, he said. BLOOMBERG

Gosh who knew the earth had cycles?

drought...because of manmade global warming
floods...because of manmade global warming

this science stuff is so much fun!

Lab experiments showing either...zero

never passing a chance to mock OldFraud and his non-science... priceless

 

[Mr. H.]

I don't know what's worse- too much rain or not enough rain?
I'd probably rather the former.

Weather doesn't play favorites when it comes to commerce.

Funny how they seem to be forgotten, whenever a pause in the rise in temps is noted. We keep getting told just the opposite in those threads.

"Oceans Currents and Climate", an interesting link well worth reading by the curious.

CrusaderFrank is now free to post an idiotgram, hoping others will miss the interesting article linked above.

 

[Old Rocks]

A good site, with much information. Definately on the do not read list of all the deniers on this board.

Bad cess, in both cases. And, once again, agriculture is taking a hit, and that will be reflected in the price of food and clothing, in this case.

[CrusaderFrank]

So great when people don't bother to read the articles they link to.

"They noted that a warmer ocean would tend to evaporate more of its carbon dioxide gas ( CO2) and also water vapor into the air, whereas a colder ocean would tend to absorb both gases."

Next time, find a grown up to read the article to you before you post it. Might save you from looking like total idiots.

On second thought, nah, keep going the way you're going

The historical record shows that agriculture does better when the Earth is Warmer. That's why civilization flourishes during warm periods.

Almost everything warmist cult members believe about the effects of warming are bogus.

Well then, Pattycake, why don't you just explain that to the Aussies. And then the Russians.

Floods happen. They are a fact of nature. In centuries past, humans were not occupying most of the land in Australia where they occur. That's the only thing new here. Furthermore, the AGW cult leaders in Australia were predicting droughts, not floods:

This is the second straight year of major flooding. It comes after the government’s appointed so-called climate experts had projected increased semi--permanent drought was the problem to prepare for not flooding. See their report:

Excerpt from FUTURE DROUGHTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR GOVERNMENTS

Global warming is a reality that is with us today. We can expect that the impact of drought in Australia will get worse as global warming accelerates. CSIRO (2001) has projected increases in Australian temperatures of between 1C and 6C by 2070, much greater than the increases over the last 50 years. These temperature increases would lead to even greater evaporation and water stress during future droughts, much worse than in 2002. CSIRO (2001) has projected up to a 45% decrease in stream flow in the Murray-Darling Basin by 2070. Climate models have projected a marked increase in the frequency of extreme droughts under global warming conditions (IPCC, 2001). From WWF report authored by alarmist professor Karoly.

When you use every weather anomaly as evidence for your end-of-the-world hysterics, you end up looking like a fool.

Yep. Your wizards predicted droughts. Instead Australia is suffering from flooding. That's all that needs to be said about the AGW abracadabra. The parts you highlights are just their bogus opinions, not facts. Their credibility is zero.

The article says "future droughts". Jumping the gun a little, aren't you?

 

[whitehall]

Are we going to listen to warmers whine about every natural disaster from now on? I didn't cause it rocky and neither did my neighbors or my Country for that matter so leave us the fuk alone and go to China and whine about their decadence.

No

 

[skookerasbil]

The defintive post in this thead is #9..........of course, posted up by yours truly.

Check it out.........posted a link of historic flooding in the world dating back well before 1900..........some years heavy.............some years nothing.............anywhere and everywhere. The k00ks make out like flooding just started happening over the last decade FTG.

 

[IanC]

did we ever discuss the class action suits that are being brought to court after last years fiasco where the dams were kept at full capacity because of scaremongering about everlasting drought when they should have been used to mitigate the oncoming flood?
