Hurricanes are soooo kinder than drought. It rained today. Real
rain. Not a lot, not a deluge, but, not a dribble either.
Aaaaaah, It feels so good. Balance the ions, wash the air, cool the
earth, quench the thirsty plants. What a difference.

Australia Begins Secret Talks On Evacuating Half Of Continent Due To
Epic Drought

Shocking reports from the Kremlin today are showing that just under
one week from Australian Prime Minister Howard's urgent plea to his
citizens to pray for rain to fall on their drought ravaged Nation, the
Government of Australia has entered into secret negotiations with the
United States and their Commonwealth allies for the 'proposed'
evacuation of upwards of 11 million of its 20 million citizens.
To the tragedy currently unfolding upon the World's smallest Continent
of Australia we can read as reported by Britain's Independent News
Service in their article titled "Australia's epic drought: The
situation is grim", and which says:
"Australia has warned that it will have to switch off the water supply
to the continent's food bowl unless heavy rains break an epic drought
- heralding what could be the first climate change-driven disaster to
strike a developed nation.
The Murray-Darling basin in south-eastern Australia yields 40 per cent
of the country's agricultural produce. But the two rivers that feed
the region are so pitifully low that there will soon be only enough
water for drinking supplies. Australia is in the grip of its worst
drought on record, the victim of changing weather patterns attributed
to global warming and a government that is only just starting to wake
up to the severity of the position.
The Prime Minister, John Howard, a hardened climate- change sceptic,
delivered dire tidings to the nation's farmers yesterday. Unless there
is significant rainfall in the next six to eight weeks, irrigation
will be banned in the principal agricultural area. Crops such as rice,
cotton and wine grapes will fail, citrus, olive and almond trees will
die, along with livestock.
A ban on irrigation, which would remain in place until May next year,
spells possible ruin for thousands of farmers, already debt-laden and
in despair after six straight years of drought."
