MDB was way drier pre 1950

How the Nation is badly served by the GreenLeft media, Green biased water bureaucrats and useless knee-jerk green politicians. Bleating on about rainfall in normally dry summer months – beating up normal events like fish kills – failing to drive home that major problems are the mad environmental flows politicians have agreed to – invoking Flannery by using language like “unless it rains” which to the ignorant implies it might not rain again. Seemingly failing to realize that news beating up MDB heat is quoting the BoM adjusted warmer ACORN temperature data where the past is cooled.
Examples from last 3 months – “rainfall continues to contract” – “Hot, dry year” – “outlook is grim unless it rains”. Trend for southern wet season is similar. Black line is 5 yr av.
