ATLANTA, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have found a potentially important
mechanism by which chemical emissions from ocean phytoplankton influence cloud formations. We need more Whales.

I'm using the condition of some 1000 miles of country, from south of Adelaide to the far northeastern corner (literally) of the state of South Australia, which I traverse eight or nine times a year. If the drought worsens then it would approach that of 1914-1917, when the River Murray actually stopped flowing. And it could be really bad, and reach the levels of the early 1890s, which all but destroyed Australia's then agricultural economy. So that must make, counting the present one, _four_ 1-in-1000-year droughts over the last 120 years. Now that senior government experts and commission appointees are into serious hype and panic, expect no further useful or meaningful strategies or actions to emerge. -- Flying Tadpole ---------------------------------- http://www.soundclick.com/flyingtadpole http://music.download.com/timfatchen http://music.download.com/internetopera |
