Climate change hits Australia a decade early
Australia is exhibiting climate change weather patterns that were not predicted to manifest till 2020, says one of the country’s most prominent climate change scientists.

Professor Ian Lowe, AO, an award-winning scientist and author of a number of books on climate change, said that when he wrote his first book, Living in the Greenhouse, in 1989, he summarised what scientists were saying would occur in 2020 if climate change was not addressed.

This included predictions that average temperatures would increase; it would get drier in southern and eastern Australia, and wetter in northern Australia; there would be more frequent extremes like floods, cyclones, extended dry spells, heat waves and severe bushfires; and vector-borne diseases like dengue fever would spread.

1. the irony here is that the New World Order
were selling tickets to Australia for the privileged

and of all the places that is going to get hit the hardest is Australia

they will regret their support of Bush and Cheney

the whole thing is failing
their whole plan
