Time for Bradfield's scheme?

SC, the only problem with that ref is that it is very old and way out of date now.

Much work has been done since then on modernizing the concept.

it could well have done. that report was 15 years ago.

Not much has changed in 15 years since the report was issued - except the onset of Climate Change. It's results are still valid. Bradfield and his disciples appeared to have believed that redirecting water was easy and it's effects would be immediate. They aren't and they won't be.

Unable to argue the science so instead we see the usual "attack the sources" style of argument. Tsk, tsk.

bri this is your thread maybe you should be the one that keeps it on track..

the facts to me stand right out.....WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING....it needs to be everyone chipping in

if it means a levy on everyone so be it....every state chipping in so be it..

we cant keep wasting water after water...

I dont think its even an argument to be honest...

if we can put a man on the moon we can do this...

GET THE WORLD EXPERTS IN....pay them

we have too many empire builders in this bloody country to get anything done...

Cods, I agree with your sentiment but there are scientific facts that cannot be overcome.

Bradfield's scheme was based upon conditions in Europe, not Australia. He used the incorrect amount of evaporation in making his determinations. Unless you want rivers to be covered over, evaporation will occur. There will be no or little water left by the time it reaches Lake Eyre. Australia is a dry continent and with Climate Change it is likely to become drier. We could be much better off addressing Climate Change, reducing CO^2 and Methane production and trying to reduce the temperatures which we will experience.

CO2 is a harmless natural gas that all life on earth depends on you retard.

Only a complete ****wit would believe that CO2 is affecting climate in any way...

If anything ... we could do with more of it..

CO^2 causes the "Greenhouse Effect" whereby the sun's rays enter the atmosphere but are unable to escape, thereby becoming trapped and increasing the heating of the Earth. This drives Climate Change. The CO^2 created by man's industrial actions drives the Greenhouse Effect. While it appears to be a small amount, it is not insignificant and we have not experienced the rapid build up of CO^2 on this scale before.

Time to crawl back into your conspiracist hole, Mechie.

HI Brian,

Are you trying to tell us that an invisible harmless gas, that is vital to every living thing on earth, that is in our atmosphere at 0.04%, is going to make our World end?, and is somehow causing a "greenhouse effect" ?



Cuckoo Cuckoo!

thats history brian....if we can put a man on the moon....we can do this...I dont care what you say its all about MONEY....how can we waste a giod given resource like rain water year in year out when animals crops fish and people are dying....its reckless beyond words..

Hi Cods,
I agree - we waste too much water in
the Northern Territory.
