This is all Bush's fault. If he had let Gore win, there would be no droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, warming, or cooling.

Somebody had better get very serious about desalination quick, or reconsider the population explosion.
Considering it is already a massive desert, I think the only option to terraform Australia would be to cut large trenches across the entire nation, allowing more moisture to be brought into the interior.
Would have to be on a massive scale, but any solution to solve this problem will have to be a huge undertaking. Cutting your shower time in half wont cut it when there are another hundred people a day taking showers.

Funny how you still have people that think Global warming is non-existent. Some people will hide their heads in the sand, even if they see palm trees growing in the Arctic.

I spoke to my dad this morning and asked about the weather back home (Gold Coast, Australia)- "beautiful" he replied "not a cloud in the sky"- he actually sounded a bit sad.
