A word to the BBC's Sydney reporter Nick Bryant.

Mate, Australians now have the Internet and can check the bizarre reports
you file back home, like this one:

"Australia is in the grip of "the Big Dry", one of the worst droughts in a
century. "

"Major cities confront the major possibility of running out of water daily,
and some are building desalination plants that draw from the sea."

Here's the rain anomalies for this summer, showing above average rainfall
for most of the country:

And here are the current storage levels on these cities that "confront the
major possibility of running out of water daily":

Sydney: 59%

Melbourne: 34.3% with desalination plant to come online next year.

Brisbane: 71.6%

Perth: 39.6% with desalination plant online.

Adelaide: 62% plus water piped from the Murray.

Your correction should be a beauty.

Claiming you simply consulted Alarmist of the Year Tim Flannery is no
excuse.

"In one of the more expensive ironies of history, the expenditure of more

than $US50 billion on research into global warming since 1990 has failed to

demonstrate any human-caused climate trend, let alone a dangerous one."

I'm sure the "Australia Mining Pioneer" and "Founder of the True
Geology" is very happy about Australia's recent copious inundations.

Indeed.
