  1. Oh the irony…
    “NT EDO managing lawyer Elanor Fenge said it was critical that decisions about water allocation were transparent and based on science.

    “As climate change takes hold around the globe and in northern Australia, the risk to wildlife, ecosystems and communities is becoming even more acute,” Ms Fenge said.”

    • Thanks Tony for that informative reply. I’ve got a science background but not environmental science, where things are very complex and greatly muddied by political agendas. I’ve now learned about the Little Ice Age for the first time. Also I’ve heard somewhere that we’d be in another ice age now but for CO2 emissions. There’s a middle ground here, but all we get are extremes on both sides.

  2. Elanor Fenge is either demented or lacks a grasp of basic science.
    The entire IPCC fraud was dreamed up by Rothschild-protege investment banker Maurice Strong in collaboration with fellow banker Al Gore, who exploited an emotionally erratic climate scientist (Mann) whose hockey stick graph showed dramatic global warming.
    When one steps back from the graph data, all this shows is the necessary warming that followed the Little Ice Age of 13th century to mid-19th, in which grassy Greenland turned to tundra, Glaciers formed in the mountains, and the Arctic turned to ice. As warming returned, but is still cooler than before (the Medieval Warming), the ice receded.
    We may note that the incessant ABC TV footage of the seas rising around Kiribati Island distorts the cold reality that the islands are sinking; as is the entire east and south coast of the US, at a rate of 3 MM per year. That we are told this is seas rising reflects the fact that scientists will say whatever they are paid to say. Those who refuse are unemployed.
    Why do I mention Greenland? Because as the tundra turns to grass once again, that giant island will become the most valuable cattle pasture on the planet. Obviously, the bankers told Trump.
    Back to Mataranka, on currently mounting evidence, Ministers of any government dislike genuine scientific evidence, which invariably conflicts with ambitious plans for lucrative deals and post-politics careers. As a Territorian, I want to be assured our critical ground water supply is safe. I have yet to be convinced.
