Where do they plan to get the water from to irrigate the outback? <br /><br />I hope they weren't thinking of pumping water hundreds of miles inland from the already fragile Murray-Darling system! <br /><br />The outback is huge and doesn't get much rain.<br /><br />I have to say that I really dislike these sort of suggestions. It devalues the existing (dry) habitat, which is very precious IMO.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-74988386683830513232012-10-01T07:05:42.630-04:002012-10-01T07:05:42.630-04:00Donner wrote a blog post discussing the study in m...Donner wrote a blog post discussing the study in more detail <a href="http://simondonner.blogspot.com/2012/09/limiting-global-warming-to-2-deg-c-is.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Maribo+%28MARIBO%29" rel="nofollow">here</a>. <br /><br />"In the end, perhaps what’s most striking about the study is that despite many methodological differences from previous work, <b>the results are not surprising</b>.
