would we start building solar power en-masse to finally acknowledge climate change?

THE ANSWER IS NO.

We would respond with excuses that the timing is not right and that the technology is too expensive and we should wait for others to help bring down the costs of the technologies first....

IT PAYS TO THINK AHEAD WHEN DEALING WITH FORESEEABLE DISASTER.

BOTTLENECKS WILL OCCUR WHEN WE ALL REALISE WE HAVE TO CHANGE TO RENEWABLE ENERGIES ALL AT ONCE....

IT PAYS TO BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE....

And would we rethink our commitment to importing 200,000 people every year? 

Of course not.  That'd be too sensible.

What do you mean if. Flannery has already said never again, the rivers and dams will never fill again, we will not know what snow is.

BTW he is peddling his crap once more, so you are in good company.

No, the ones that are at their lowest level ever, with only enough water to meet perths needs for 5 days.  It's been a pretty bloody dry winter out west...yet still the people come here to try to cash in on 'the mining boom".

Did the greenies screw WA as well and not allow them to build dams according to population? fn greens.

If you want to see the non-localised picture of a dam in WA within a country of drought and rain, then follow the link

It's all about definitions!

Not all drought are the same just as not all recessions and booms are the same.

The great Federation drought. Now that was a bad drought.
