Re: Scary stuff about Oz climate
The worst drought I've seen in my time here, Was in 1983. My main recollection of that was farmers en-masse through Victoria and NSW, having to cull livestock, Sheep and Cows, by the 10,000's. as the Farmers could not afford to feed them. This brought down the price of meat considerably. Which was great for the home consumer but terrible for the farmers, There were news reports about farmers plights every evening so it seemed. We certainly are not anywhere near that stage yet.
There was also a lot of 'talk' at that time, about pipelines from the northern territory, and canals etc to flood the centre of Aussie to change weather patterns. If we get back to that stage, maybe those large projects which seem inevitable to me, will actually start to take place. In fact these projects will only take place, with more migrants forcing the issue.
Eventually these drought problems will be solved by major major work projects.

1809's the worst. About every twenty years get a bad drought - farmers paying to have livestock carted away or shot and buried.

Bring in the Migrants, and their financial power and drain on infrastructure, and force the government, to start those Major water projects mooted for Aussies centre, Wonder how long it will be before the government has to do this.
