CSIRO report earns a “G” for Genocide

“The formerly prestigious CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) has been destroyed by its embrace of environmental policies which will have the effect of denying human beings access to food,” Citizens Electoral Council leader Craig Isherwood said today in response to the release of a government taskforce report and its commissioned CSIRO review, Northern Australia Land and Water Science Review 2009. The taskforce and CSIRO scientists report that northern Australia is actually going to be short of water by 2030.

Mr Isherwood said that he now thinks of the CSIRO as the Crazy, Stupid, Idiotic and Ridiculous Organisation for its wholesale embrace of green policies ahead of any real scientific culture.

The idea that the north of Australia is short of water is sheer lunacy—but promoted by the CSIRO.

The CSIRO-led Northern Australia Land and Water Taskforce study asserts turning the Top End into a food bowl is not an option, and, “By 2030, there will be less water available in the north than there was in 2000.” Why? Not because it will rain any less, or that the rainfall of 2 metres is going to disappear, but there “was not enough water to irrigate without doing major damage to rivers and the surrounding environment.”

New dams can’t be built because the report simply rules them out on environmental grounds.

“What crap!” Mr Isherwood said.

“If you take the northern region defined by the Fitzroy River, the Ord River, the Daly, Roper and the rivers of the Gulf of Carpentaria, there is enough water development potential to irrigate millions of acres of land, and support over 50 million people!

“If we just take one of those rivers, the Fitzroy River, in flood, the Fitzroy’s water volume is second only to the Amazon. It has an annual run-off of nine million megalitres; metropolitan Sydney uses one-half million megalitres a year, by comparison.” (A megalitre is 1 million litres. An Olympic-sized swimming pool has a volume of 2.5 megalitres.)

Mr Isherwood quoted the late Prof. Lance Endersbee, a pioneer engineer on the great Snowy Mountains Scheme, who looked into the Fitzroy River basin and said:

“The Fitzroy floods over the lower flood plains below the Fitzroy crossing. There it rushes through gorges upstream of these plains, and there are really narrow, excellent sites for dam building. And dam building is rather easy because the river virtually dries out in the winter.

“Above the Great Sandy Desert, at least half a million acres of land could be developed for irrigation and this is probably one of the best sites in the world for major, highly mechanised, intensive horticulture. You can design it as a massive project. Anything smaller is uneconomical, really.

“The Fitzroy could easily support two or three or even five million people.”

In 1997, estimating a similar project on a smaller scale, WA Senator Alan Eggleston estimated the Fitzroy scheme would take 10-15 years to develop, and it would provide direct employment to 3,000 people and 7,500 indirect jobs.

Mr Isherwood charged the government taskforce was stacked, to deliberately kill off any such aspirations for development:

“The taskforce includes representatives from the World Wide Fund for Nature and the Australian Conservation Foundation, both movements founded personally by Prince Philip to achieve his sick agenda of human population reduction—it was always going to attempt to squash any plans for economic development that would grow food for more people.”

He concluded, “Real science in our country has been choked off and killed by the genocidalist environmental movement. Its agenda is to promote bogus science riddled with garbage green axioms to promote the reduction of the world’s population. Eliminate the food production potential through these bogus scientific reports, and you will kill people.”
