“For the record I had my R&R in Australia in 1972 and it was absolutely the best time I ever had with the friendliest people and big big cans of Fosters.”

My cousin had the same from Vietnam and always talks about the great time he had there. Skydiving, etc.

With all that rainwater being soaked up it won’t be a desert for long. The whole interior will look like the Everglades soon and the bushmen will become the new Swamp Men.

Well I, for one, am very concerned that if Australia soaks up too much water, it will tip over. Like Guam.

Ah yes - Lake Eyre.

Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When sick at heart, around us,
We see the cattle die -
But then the grey clouds gather,
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady, soaking rain.

...it will tip over. Like Guam.

Then all the water will run back into the ocean!

I'm confused. I know it's our fault and all that but I'm not clear whether it's a good bad or a bad bad.

But Australia’s a lot bigger than Guam.

I got my proof offa PBS with their recent "Nature" show on some of Australia's pelicans that all of a sudden head to the middle of their continent, deep into the "outback" into an area known as Ayer's sea. Just about the time they are circling to land, here comes that monsoonal moisture in humunguous cloud-bursts and the floods all rush to the middle of the country filling a huge natural sump-hole like an inland sea!!!

I saw that very episode just recently.It was pretty impressive,actually.Having visited the Outback...in summer...I can attest to the fact that it's really hot,really dry,and really big.In fact,"hot enough to boil a monkey's bum"...as Monty Python observed in their skit about Australia.

Excuse no. 3,126 for the failure of the seas to keep rising.

this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. Barrack Hussein Obama II, Speech in St. Paul, Minnesota (3 June 2008)

So why did he return to USA? A co-worker of mine was a former flight attendant. She said the Aussies were the friendliest.

What, Natutalman, you're hogging all that water that should go to the little fishes? You're in big trouble, the watermelons will be targeting you big time.

Wait till they find out you're hoarding sea ice down under as well, this won't be pretty.

Some how, some way, they had to find some reason that globull warming really is “true” and here we go. A continent island is trapping all the water!

[hal ogen]

Are the “scientists” who write this BS insane or what? I guess they are seeking continuing funding from taxpayers so they think-up this crap and attend useless seminars.

[Libloather]

They suck in a big way yet save the planet. Could be a Hillary campaign theme.

[Navy Patriot]

I can confirm, ...both the Aussies and the Kiwis had to throw me out to get rid of me.

Thanks to all of you guys for your service.

Pelicans? Taste just like chicken.. Who knows? Giant aquifers may be opening as the crust of the earth goes mushy and sea levels adjust accordingly? Ya never know.. The earth is a living breathing thing if you will.. Pot bellies migrate.. :-)
