Unsure what he said Iza -
Flannery predicted cities such as Brisbane would never again have dam-filling rains, as global warming had caused “a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas” and made the soil too hot, “so even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and river systems … “.
Wrong again Tim.....
TIM Flannery, Australia's Chief Climate Commissioner, once declared that "even the rain that falls will not fill up the dams".
This was back in 2007 at the height of the protracted drought that afflicted eastern Australia. Now, for the second year in a row, we see the effects of El Nino's twin sister -- La Nina -- bringing extreme rainfall across great swaths of Australia. This is hardly the climate change future envisaged by Flannery.
