Yeah there is, so where are the facts, where is the link to the quote so we can fully understand the context of Mr Flannery's supposed words, I say supposed because I have no reference to them.

Typical, no lefty that's responded so far has actually faced up to, or defended, the facts. Why?

And where are your facts that support that it's all a big lie? Or as one moron named Steven Fielding described it "one big Communist conspiracy".

Uhm did you read the OP? Flannery said the dams would not fill, as there would not be enough rain to do so. Well, Warragamba dam is now filled over 100% of its capacity.

A prediction that turns out to be incorrect is not a lie.

A statement of fact that is said knowing the fact is incorrect is a lie.

You can not state a fact about a future weather event, so this proves Tim didn't lie and you owe him an apology.

Do you chase weather forecasters around too and call them liars?

Well the only one here who stated an (apparent) fact about the future weather was Flannery, and it turns out that he was completely incorrect.

The only one who ought to apologise here is Flannery. What a waste of tax-payer's money, and how on earth does someone who makes completely incorrect weather predictions deserve to be Australian of the Year? Similarly, seeing that he's been so wrong on this, why should we believe anything else that he says, or other climate change proponents, like that fool Garnaut?

Well, I am not writing an essay here, am I?

And if you want sourcs, then here you are:

CHIEF Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery in 2007 warned global warming was draining our dams.

"Even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and river systems," said the Australian who has most whipped up global warming alarmism.

"In Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane, water supplies are so low they need desalinated water urgently, possibly in as little as 18 months."

Here is how full our dams are, five years later, at the end of another summer.

Canberra's dams: 99.6 per cent.

Darwin's dam: 96 per cent.

Brisbane's dams: 91 per cent.

Sydney's dams: 87 per cent.

Warragamba is a dam buster

Melbourne's dams: 64 per cent.

Adelaide's dams: 55 per cent.

Flannery must account for his discredited predictions or hand in his resignation.

Once in a lifetime floods prove nothing....

Are all Western Australian people dopey and as stupid as you perth?

The floods in the Hawkesbury are not once in a life time.

The Hawkesbury has been flooding since the year dot and will continue to.

I know you really like to think you know everything but guess what? YOU BLOODY DON'T.

I live in one of the flood-affected towns in Sthn NSW.

We've had several in the 30+ years I've been here, and
this one was FAR from being the worst. And yes, I have
been caught in a couple of them.

Those trying to claim that this is 'once-in-a-lifetime' OR
that it's due to climate-change are off their trolleys.

The point is, that Flannery said that the dams would never fill again; there simply wouldn't be enough rain to do so.
