Climate change: running rivers dry
Thursday, 24 May 2007

Annual streamflow into the Murray-Darling Basin is likely to fall by
10 to 25 per cent by 2050, and by 16 to 48 per cent by 2100 according
to one of Australia's leading experts on the effects of climate
change
on our river systems.


"Our ongoing water security problems in southern and eastern
Australia
are likely to increase by 2030," said Dr Bryson Bates, Climate
Science
Leader for CSIRO's Division of Marine and Atmospheric Research.


"There are no integrated assessments of the impacts of climate change
on runoff quantity and quality, biodiversity, salt interception
revegetation policies, and water pricing and trading policies. Such
assessments are essential if we are to adapt to climate change in an
informed manner."


Dr Bates, who spoke on May 22 at the 5th Australian Stream Management
Conference on 'Climate change and what it means for river management'
said the rivers and catchments of southwest Australia and to a lesser
extent of SA and the southeast corner of the Murray-Darling Basin,
were the ones most likely to be affected by climate change.


"The likely situation for northern Australia is unclear in terms of
both the direction and the magnitude of change," he said.


Dr Bates said little was known about likely impacts on groundwater
resources.


"The current drought has demonstrated that we need to reconsider how
we manage our water resources to better balance supply and demand and
provide water for the environment," he said.


"It is not too late, but we must act now rather than later. It is no
longer an issue that we can put off for the next 20 to 70 years.
Further climatic change is already locked-in; we will need to learn
how to adapt to that and any additional change that might be incurred
in the future.


"Past approaches to water planning have relied on the historical
record. Given that we appear to be moving out of the historical
'envelope' we need to consider scenario-based approaches to planning
wherein we explore the consequences of alternative and plausible
futures, identify key decision points and develop contingency plans.
This will involve the expenditure of more thought and effort on risk
management and more dependence on seasonal forecasts provided the
underpinning science can deliver an increase in predictive skill
above
the level that is currently available.

*A typical respnse that a true mining hero and pioneer would expect
from
*convict rabble aussie toads. You top-post, you cross-post, you use
too
*many Capital Letters and you dare indeed to criticize Jean-Paul!? It
is
*you who are truly the 'oxygen thief' but the DDD and mega-fires to
come
*will serve you justice well. See how much oxygen is left for
criminals and
*liars after the fires! So indeed it is you who should **** off!
before the
*mega-fires if you can, nothing will be left of your miserable
country
*afterward.

* What a load of crap. You make the most outlandish claims that
you're
* going to settle a score with a bunch of people that have never
done
* anything to you, and you don't understand why they don't love you.
(snipped rest of toadyish response )

The coming Mega-Fires will settle that matter for good, and I look
forward for mile wide swathes of fiery rage engulfing your Cities,
and leaving behind only smoking desolation and rotten corpses decaying
by the 1 000d in terrible stench at over 50° C searing temperature

It will be a most terrible sight to behold and none will ever forget
it !

Only hence, may be, the full extent of your Collective Crimes might
trickle down to you thick & dull antipodean convict rabble soul !
.... and only then the full justification of your Collective Chastiment
will be revealed to you as a most Divine & perfectly measured
retribution for your immoral behaviour, you complete lack of Humanity
& still to boost your typical antipodean propensity at laughing off
things of importance

Only the sternest application of Eternal Justice will be conducted to
its logical conclusion : To the point where the Australian Convict
Rabble at large becomes aware of its degeneracy & beg in return of
proper penance & atonement the Redemption which indeed will not be
refused then.

I sincerely believe though that you have to bite the dirt all of you
*******s to get that point home.

With kind but most sorry regards
