And this is just the precursor of a really mad summer that could make 1967 look like a picnic, if there is any fuel to burn.

The drying of the climate and thus the early preperations and escaped fires will become a permanent state if it is not alreadsy there after the longest drough has dried the landscape.

Years of above avereage rainfall is needed to replenish the ground water stores.

The fools may think they are Renaissance persosn with their plans to impound for agriculture but for a dam to work you have to have rainfall and I doubt the planners think that what we have now are good falls with only lower totals to come.

Burning, controlled or not, is the agent that will change the vegetaion as closed forest moves toward open, open toward woodland, woodland to savannah and grassland and the Midlands and east coast effectively desertify.

Those wet forests we know store humungous amounts of carbon will hang on in wetter places as the drying of the landscape is fed by the carbon released from the drying landscape.

Fools and dolts in government not listening your peeps and spins will not return us to the past and only take us to a most horrible future.

Premier Bartlett may deny the truth of the Carbon store until it is too late, if that point has not already come, in the interests of the timber industry.

His captivity can be seen by his condoning of lawlessness on top of the denial of the truth. The only machoine we have that we can influence directly is the biosequestration of vegetation and to mismange that anywhere ensures his children will suffer when thay are adults.

It is strange beast that wishes to bring pain to his own.
