We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall.
Does he *really* not know better? Or assume his readers won't?

Melting ice will strengthen the monsoon in northern Australia – but cause drier conditions north of the Equator
Sediments in a lagoon near Darwin hold traces of changes to monsoonal rains over 150,000 years. Here’s what it means as Earth’s polar ice melts.

This is just so terribly sad. A marine ecosystem dying before our eyes.
Footage captured yesterday at Ardrossan, Yorke Peninsula, reveals more underwater impacts of SA's Harmful Algal Bloom.
With neon green water, the seabed was littered with dead and dying animals. There were also hundreds, if not thousands, of garfish on the seabed, some still alive.
