The true facts on climate must be extremely painful for our alarmist
friends!!

December 2 2008

Dr Dennis Jensen BAppSc (RMIT), MSc (Melb), PhD (Monash) is the only member
of the Australian Parliament with any training in science.

Yesterday he suggested in the Australian Parliament that many of the current
problems facing the Murray Darling Basin are the result of low runoff as a
consequence of changed land management practices (including more plantations
in the top of catchments), catchment-wide drainage management plans (place
in the 1980s and 1990s to lower water tables) and more efficient water use
(resulting in less leakage).

Dr Jensen explained that it was wrong to blame climate change for the low
levels in the dams, because there had been no long term decline in rainfall
in the Basin.

Dr Jensen also explained that many of the climate models used to predict
regional rainfall, including the CSIRO models (relied upon by Ross Garnaut
in his report on climate change to the Australian government), are
unreliable and unduly pessimistic.

When Dr Jensen asked to table supporting information in the Parliament by
way of charts and tables, the request was denied.

Much of the information that Dr Jensen was banned from tabling can be found
in a recent publication from the IPA entitled 'What's Happening to the
Murray River?'.
