SOUTHEAST AUSTRALIA BRACES FOR MORE RAIN; RESIDENTS TOLD TO EVACUATE

SYDNEY

Australian authorities warned on Tuesday that flood-affected areas in the
country's southeast were set for more rain, as emergency services issued a fresh
batch of evacuation orders.

Authorities overnight told hundreds of residents to evacuate from the New South
Wales (NSW) town of Narrabri, home to 12,000 and about 550km northwest of
Sydney, as water released from a full dam nearby worsened flooding.

In nearby Gunnedah, residents endured the fifth flood in 12 months, with
television footage showing people evacuating homes through waist-deep flood
waters carrying pets and personal belongings.

A video online showed one resident paddling a kayak through inundated streets
and straight into a flooded garage.

"Clearly the flood risk and the threat remains across NSW today and will do so
for some days to come. The rivers are very, very full and of course our dams are
mostly at full capacity at present," Steph Cooke, NSW emergency services
minister, said on Tuesday. "Even the smallest amount of rain falling can cause
an elevated risk of flash flooding and riverine flooding."

A freight train crashed overnight near Naradhan, about 600km west of Sydney,
with two crew rescued uninjured after rail tracks came loose because of heavy
rain, local media reported.

The Bureau of Meteorology expects 50mm of rain across swathes of the southeast
on Wednesday and Thursday, with 100mm (3.94 inches) or more possible on parts of
the mainland and most of the island state of Tasmania.

Fresh rain over waterlogged catchments means dozens of waterways in New South
Wales and Victoria are at risk of flooding, with 209 flood warnings in place
across the two most populous states, with the bulk of evacuations taking place
in NSW.

Flooding is also expected on several river systems in the adjacent states of
Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.

Before the transcontinental railroad and Panama Canal were built, my home state
of California was much closer to Australia than it was to New York. Echoes of
that era can be seen in the abundant eucalyptus trees, which were planted as
windbreaks for the long-vanished orange groves. We, too, suffer either drought
or flood. Best wishes to my Aussie friends at this time.

The greenhouse effect is non-linear, because it is amplified by two positive
feedback mechanisms at least. The first mechanism is the rapid melting of the
ice caps, which amplifies the greenhouse effect by curtailing the heat radiation
from the Earth back to the outer space. The second positive feedback mechanism
is the increased absorption of water vapor in the atmosphere as the temperature
rises. The vapors act as a blanket which amplifies the heating process.
(Sometimes, due to temperature fluctuations, some vapor re-condenses and fall as
torrential rain.) Because of this non-linearity, the atmospheric stability is
bound to break down quite soon: Sooner rather than later the temperature will
escape to a hundred or two hundreds degrees Celsius. The oceans will vaporize,
and a thick blanket of ultra-hot steam will embrace the entire planet. This
steam blanket will perpetuate the greenhouse effect, and will render the Earth
an eternal greenhouse, like our sister planet Venus. The rains will cease. No
life will develop again on the planet whereon humans and animals once used to
live.

When somewhere keeps flooding, wouldn't it be a plan to manage the flow of
excess water a bit better and build residential properties higher, like they do
across South East Asia, prone as it is to monsoons.

Evacuation is a lousy 'Plan A'.

Flooding if this magnitude is a very recent problem for these regions. These
neighborhoods were laid out and built many decades ago before such flooding was
a problem, and not something you would reasonably expect planners decades ago to
anticipate.
