On the shifting tropical rainfall south from the Kimberley, I've got an idea for a scheme worthy of Macroscien, but I'm not going to illustrate it with screen grabs.
No pipeline involved and the water doesn't end up in Perth.
The last couple of years of drought are claimed to be due to the Indian Ocean Dipole moving the warm water toward Africa, reducing evaporation off northwest WA, resulting in drier winds flowing over central Australia and further east. So our problem is, how can we increase the evaporation?
Solution is using the abundant sunshine in the north to power pumps that take ocean water and just spray it up into the air off the coast. Lots of droplets in the air have a much bigger surface area than the undisturbed ocean, so the evaporation rate is increased. The slightly wetter air can then move across the continent and drop its moisture over the NT, Qld and northern NSW. Fat cattle all round! Even at Dalby
That sounds pretty good in therory.
Two things though;
- How much volume would you need to be pumping into the air.
- Pollies wouldn't consider it as there is no immediate result once you turn the pumps on.
Maybe you should get Gretta onto promoting it.

Not only worthy of Macroscien, but he has already proposed it! Although I think his version was misting it on the land, and not over the ocean, so he was not bothering with details about all that salt falling on land.
You should ask him. He is probably in Dalby fitting wifi enabled moisture meters to each of his cows right now.

Don't know, but if the pumps work hard enough, they could evaporate enough ocean to prevent sea level rise.
- Pollies wouldn't consider it as there is no immediate result once you turn the pumps on.
A big beneficiary would be Julia Reinhart. That should be enough to get the pollies on board
Maybe you should get Gretta onto promoting it.
I'm not sure that she's a big fan of geo engineering

Very good questions Chris , I have no idea but I do know that most of The stimulus payments made to to the Newstart payments will be pissed up the wall in general .
That's exactly why they're getting the money, they'll tip it straight back into the retail economy, whether it be drugs or TV's they can be trusted to spend it, and spend it quickly. Unlike the sensible folk that will pop it into a bank account and leave it there.
I love how we know that everyone on new start is a dole bludging lazy drug addict.
All the Newstart and DSP claimants I deal with seem to be dole bludging POS?
