Rain, Rain everywhere Rain

Post by Bart » Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:24 pm

Yes Australia is being subjected to a deluge of rain in all states, even floods in some parts,
but :oops
according to Australia's Chief Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery there is no longer any such thing as rain :yahoo


So I guess then all this "RAIN" is nothing more than a mirage, an illusion, nature's way of creating negative publicity against the Gillard government :thumb


Unless of course Tim Flannery is denying the existance or rain whilst trying to answer CCR's question

But in line with the Gay ALP then Prince's Purple Rain is much more to his (and cut Wong way) liking

But no matter how much Flannery is in denial, and spouting his drizzling dribble there's no escaping that those drips (no not the GALP voters) ...are rain!


As Status Quo stated............IT CALLED RAIN!!! :yahoo :yahoo :yahoo

But with so much rain happening that is why Flannery is so wrong about climate.
Maybe he will be able to see clearly once the rain stops :thumb ...........but we all know the rain won't stop :rofl :rofl :rofl

Well I'll agree that Flannery is a mug holding a title he doesn't deserve - Professor.
But the reason for the rain is quite simple. It's the warm water off our east coast that has been there for 3 years now, meaning La Nina has set an unprecedented record.
1 year is not uncommon, 2 years is uncommon, 3 years is unheard of.

Usually this warm water would be off the west coast of south America, as per El Nino.
So I presume while we're copping heavy rains for the 3rd year in a row, south America would be enduring an unprecedented drought.

The rain has been torrential and relentless in NSW, although in my area on the coast there have been some breaks and the weather has been good in between. It has bought out the insects with nasty bites though and the cobwebs are prolific.

An unusual creature (for Australia anyway) is a crustacean called the "landhopper" - a relative of the crab which has been spotted. I'm sure I saw one of these a few years ago in my garden. It jumped into my pond very quickly when it saw me, but it was quite large - possibly 8 or 9 centimetres in length. It looks as though it's related to the cockroach more than a crab.

WHILE the rains are keeping most of us inside, the state's wet summer has opened the door for a swarm of critters to come out of their usual hideaways to make our backyards their new homes.

The weather has created prime breeding conditions for slugs, snails, leeches, spiders, mosquitoes and frogs which are popping up in mass proportions from Waverley to Wagga Wagga.

Australian Museum naturalist Martyn Robinson said the most unusual thing people could start to see in their gardens was what's known as a "landhopper".

"They are small crustaceans," he said.

"They are actually related to prawns and lobsters.

"They are popping up all over the place in Turramurra, Lindfield, Chatswood and Palm Beach."

Parts of rural NSW have experienced a boom in mosquitoes - in numbers and size - and an invasion of wolf spiders since the floods began last month.
