Global warming worries me a lot - drought in Australia, floods /ice in Britain etc.
Everywhere will be affected to some degree. |

Re: Climate change warning for Sydney
Do you mean increased CO2 from the increased electricity generation? I have a sneaking feeling that this is why nuclear power is being talked about more and more. If wind/wave/sun could be used it would be a far better option.

Re: Climate change warning for Sydney
Well, we're of to Brisbane, and if i gets too hot n dry, we can always move to Melbourne,
I heard it rains there quite a bit, Also buy a house on a hill, just incase the oceans rise. Move away from the trees, just incase theres a fire. And build a three level celler under the house just incase the sun explodes. Or just stay in Brissie buy stacks aof beer n get a real good tan LOL :rofl: |
Re: Climate change warning for Sydney
On a more serious note.
wouldn't a couple of desalination plants on the cost provide enough water from the sea for Sydney ???? |

In many cases nothing happened *because* there was a panic several years previously, and many millions of man-years were spent pre-empting the problem. I myself spent months debugging a couple of pretty simple programs that I had written which would have gone down the GIGO route had I not spent the time.
Translate *that* into action now, before the big heat! |
