When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
Terrible situation in Australia, Brazil is getting worse too... over 500 dead people so far and heavy rains for the next couple of days so the near future doesn't look promising..
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
Been seeing a bit about Brazil in the news here, it's heartbreaking
Haven't heard anything about South Africa, sorry to hear that Nick.
We are cleaning up a lot here now, and fortunately getting a break from the heavy rains. Main issue will be that the water is moving through our river systems and will still be effecting people for the next few months before it finally gets through to the sea.
Media V happening ?? I think it's both.

currently floods in australia, germany, sri lanke... snow chaos in the us... mud slides in brasil...
Almost as if, globally, there's some kind of change in the climate ?

Both imo.. The climate issue is bad and all indicates that will be worse in years to come + we have loads
of information saying all the time how fucked up the world actually is... "nice" combo
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
I really hope that we can come up with a way to start reversing all the damage humans have done to this magnificent planet before its too late
Surely the drastic changes to our climates and weather are finally making people see something needs to be done, and soon!

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
^^^ I just hope it's in time , there are an awful lot of very bad things happening all over the world.

but then again, I have never heard something like "worst floods ever", "never had storms like this" and so on. they always say like something like "worst floods in the last xx years"... so xx years ago it must have been an even worse disaster?
kinda confuses me... just shows that it's not abnormal, just quite rare.
in the big picture, what is 20, 50 or 100 years for the climate? about every 20.000 - 30.000 years we have an ice age anyway
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
No they haven't. When we had the floods in 1974 the Vivenhoe dam hadn't been built. In fact it was built in reaction to those floods. If the floods we just had were from the same amount of rain as the 1974 floods nothing would have happened to Brisbane because the dam would have protected it. Even running @187% capacity , that isn't a typo, it still didn't give protection to Brisbane.
I'm not sure how much faith I would place in a blog that says "James Delingpole is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who is right about everything." Funny though.
Also we are having so called 100 year events twice in one year??
Btw we are getting similar floods in Victoria at the moment , fortunately the topography is different and the impact is nothing like Queensland. In fact it's quite inspiring to hear the country people saying " My house has flooded but I really feel for the people in Queensland who have it so much worse"

What shocks me is how much things have changed in such a short time. We are not supposed to be able to watch climate change, it should be something that happens over many thousands of years and allows the earth and inhabitants to evolve.

1/20/11 - As Australia takes stock of the devastation caused by its floods, we offer a collection of the top reports to have come out of the disaster. Powerful footage reveals lives swept away and many more changed.
Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
I don't think I could take 41 mins of people saying "inundated" .

Re: When you flush the toilet in Australia, the water goes....
Unfortunately Victoria is now going through worst floods on record so I think I will hearing that word for a bit yet. Only one death so far and I'm blaming his parents
