Well, that's according to Kininmonth and Carter in "The Age" (8/11).  Phew!
   So, folks, we can relax, it was just another natural disaster, though why 
NOW is a moot question - and not long after Katrina.
   Still, the frequency and occurrence of seemingly extreme and erratic 
weather events is not due to AGW, thus CO2, even if seven billion humans 
pouring chimney smoke into the air may have SOME impact, you'd think.
   After all, hot air rises, steam adds to clouds, dust particles seed 
clouds, and you get rain, hail, snow, and hurricanes, etc - and dams which 
are nicely filled.
   Prior to 1800 AD, humans were too few in number, and technology too 
primitive, to have any impact on anything much.  Nature could cope.
   But today, we need not be too modest, and eliminating The Human Factor 
from the Ecology Equation is not so easy.
   Place it safe, and sign up to Kyoto 2?
   Or, She'll be right, mate, and just build up the levee banks?
