Solution To Climate Change
It snowed at Mt Macedon 40km from Melbourne on Friday.
Obviously caused by all the drivel on the Friday thread.:eek:
So I wonder how much drivel is needed to break the drought.

Now here is a bad one but...........
Perhaps the Queen should drivel a little, that way the drought would have a better chance of breaking since she REIGNS over us...
Sad I know.

Howard key to climate solution: Al Gore
Climate crusader Al Gore not only forgives John Howard for panning his movie about impending planetary catastrophe, he nominates the Australian prime minister as the key to a global effort to solve the crisis. "I am very grateful to the prime minister for watching my movie, genuinely so," the former US vice-president said when told about Mr Howard's view of An Inconvenient Truth - that it smacked of a "peeved politician" sniping at the Bush administration, and that it failed to make the earth move for him. "I would not expect him (Mr Howard) to immediately praise it to the skies, given the history of his opposition to what I have been saying," Mr Gore told reporters in Sydney. "But I appreciate him seeing it. "I like him, I really do, even if he doesn't like my movie. "If some of the information in it got through, I'm very happy about that." Mr Gore believes Mr Howard could well be shifting ground in his attitudes to climate control and greenhouse gas emissions. "I sincerely believe if Australia joined the rest of the world community in the Kyoto process, then the pressure on (America's) Bush (administration) would be enormous, just enormous," he said.
Mr Gore, narrowly defeated by George Bush, Mr Howard's Iraq war ally, in the 2000 US presidential election, said Australia and the US were the "Bonnie and Clyde" of the climate crisis, using the American gangsters to describe how those two countries were the only advanced nations "holding out" on the Kyoto process. "If Australia changed its position, the pressure on the US for change would be overwhelming and irresistible," he said on a visit to Australia to personally train 85 climate change presenters here. "So Australia can be in the driver's seat in bringing about a world effort to solve the crisis." Mr Gore said he could not look into Mr Howard's heart or mind, but experience told him that politicians sometimes changed in phases - words at first and substantive actions later. He said it was significant that Mr Howard had acknowledged a "damaging increase" in carbon dioxide emissions.
However, he hosed down any hopes Mr Howard might have of a "new Kyoto" which would not damage Australia's interests as a major coal and energy exporter. "Is it realistic for Australia to have its own little treaty that's different from the rest of the world?" Mr Gore asked. "Probably not." Mr Gore's movie has taken $US35 million ($A46 million) at the box office in 27 countries, including $A3.6 million in Australia, making it the fourth most watched documentary movie down under behind Fahrenheit 9/11.
