In the
context of this thread you dumbarse

Context is too big a word for a thicko like you.
He said in 2007 in the context of an ABC Landline program, anticipating the context of this thread in 2024. Context, context everywhere.
PROFESSOR TIM FLANNERY: We're already seeing the initial impacts and they include a decline in the winter rainfall zone across southern Australia, which is clearly an impact of climate change, but also a decrease in run-off. Although we're getting say a 20 per cent decrease in rainfall in some areas of Australia, that's translating to a 60 per cent decrease in the run-off into the dams and rivers.
That's because the soil is warmer because of global warming and the plants are under more stress and therefore using more moisture. So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems, and that's a real worry for the people in the bush. If that trend continues then I think we're going to have serious problems, particularly for irrigation.
Sound it out, thicko: "So even the rain that falls isn't actually going to fill our dams and our river systems, and that's a real worry for the people in the bush."
But the rain that fall HAS filled our dams since. Repeatedly. Contextually-like.
