At which point everyone said, yeah, its rubbish. So, no: the text had no influence."<br /><br />No influence on anybody. But does that mean it had no influence on anybunny? Not necessarily. In fact it appears to have had some influence on somebunny.<br /><br />But then, that's how climate gullibilism works.Brad Keyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154595019913023703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-49532573284058976772009-08-28T08:12:23.571-04:002009-08-28T08:12:23.571-04:00Alastair: The US version, which we're being no...Alastair: The US version, which we're being no more careful with than anybody else with any other aquifer, is the Ogallala Aquifer. It underlies South Dakota through to Texas/New Mexico, and underwrites much of the farming in that region (including Nebraska -- major farming state even by US standards). Last I saw, it was down to a matter of a few decades or less before it would be drained (business as usual pumping rates).Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-27444812465339698152009-08-26T19:30:14.902-04:002009-08-26T19:30:14.902-04:00It's not just the Indians who are in trouble. ...It's not just the Indians who are in trouble. The Greeks too have based their agriculture on underground resevoirs which are now running dry. And the Australians have emptied the Murray-Darling river for irrigation and it is drying out affecting three of their six states. <br /><br />I've little knowledge of the US, but I suspect that it too has squandered it water reserves which are required to produce the convection that draws in rain clouds from the oceans.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152292130415788120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-64325931639418118442009-08-25T21:08:56.646-04:002009-08-25T21:08:56.646-04:00Crash!Crash!David B.

The Green Revolution was possible only by dint of cheap energy (new varieties are supported by cheap energy - take that away and the new varieties go away). <br /><br />The issue is that we know these things. We don't want to address them. The longer we wait, the harder the landing. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />DDanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709762632849004871noreply@blogger.com
