Global warming skeptics need to re-think

All Australians know what it is like to live in a country of huge extremes of weather conditions. After 10 years of drought conditions in many of our rural and outback areas many of us may just have gotten used to being without rain. One hot, dry day blends into another hot, dry and dusty day. So we do not always notice the obvious changes taking place to the landscape in our immediate area. Well, I’d like to put forward what I consider to be a small piece of evidence of global warming, as experienced on recent travels around Victoria and New South Wales (refer to report number 3 in our journal below). Study these three images taken over a five year period between 2004 and 2009 and see for your selves the reduced water levels and drying up of this lagoon. Normal regular rain fall would not allow this degradation to take place and the lagoon would look pristine all the time. All comments welcome.
