As an Australian, I don't even have a rebuttal, since not giving a **** is kind of our thing.
This does sound awfully personal, however. Did an Australian kill your family?
Haha no, not at all. I just find it baffling how Australia continues to rapidly kill itself.

Abbott government. Thing will get better after he's voted out.
Besides, since we're second on the Human Development Index (0.01 POINTS ABOVE THE UNITED STATES), we can't be doing all that badly.
Fucking Norway.
Nah he's right, water is an especial problem there.
Tap turns on, water comes out. Despite being the driest inhabited continent, the powers that be seem to have done alright in that regard.

****** Norway.
I doubt it.
One of the things Australia has to do is to quit farming and herding (with the exception of Kangaroos, as mentioned). Any government, Abbott or whatever, will not simply do that. It means making a LOT of people jobless. Australia is already a big ass desert, but it will only get bigger if you continue farming and herding because your topsoil simply does not regenerate fast enough.
And that's just one of your problems. There's many, many more.
Thanks for the advice, really. This is strange. I've been called a kangaroo-fucker, a crocodile-wrestler; but no-one has ever insulted my country's farming techniques. It's new to me.
Australian that I am, I'm drunk on sack-wine at 2 in the morning, so I don't know if you're screwing with me, but I will definitely take these issues straight to my Prime Minister in the morning.
It has nothing to do with the farming techniques, and everything to do with the soil you're farming on.
Dirt's dirt, surely. But I'll take your word for it. It's not like either of us will be around in the 22nd century to gloat about it.

This man disagrees:
Yes, I know... it's hilarious. He's called de Grey and looks like Gandalf.
Someone brought up the P/T extinction and I wasn't here?
If you want to talk oxygen crashes, I'm still on the crazytrain that favors a major change in Earth's atmosphere and ocean ph being causative.
QUICK BRING IT BACK.
If the Reapers burn off plant cover hunting down intelligent life, would you expect to see braided rivers and BIFs in the record, like we do at the PT?
WERE THE REAPERS HERE HUNTING TRILOBITES AT THE PT?
I KNEW IT.
(I'm on my second cup of coffee and haven't eaten yet.)
If a reapur thread becomes real, expect Fallout style vaults opening across the world. Soon we will all live underground in huge bunkers to hide from reapurz.
Depends if Scotland is actually independent in the ME Universe. If we're not then we might still have Trident. Then we'd be screwed since Undina says the Reapers as bombing "the old nuclear missile silos". Granted, Trident isn't a missle silo but it's the same effect.
As a consequence of the Siberian Traps, the ocean pH and atmospheric changes make sense. I myself am one for the clathrate gun hypothesis.Someone brought up the P/T extinction and I wasn't here?

Personally, I just like the flood basalt correlation in general, though it's almost too neat.
But I'm not sure about the gun. I'm inclined to think it was more of a runaway cascading atmospheric effect, maybe combined with a massive outgassing from deep sea.
I read one of Ward's books recently, which is probably why I'm on the stodgy-train as opposed to big sexy asteroids.
I'm just sad that the Salarians couldn't bring back T-Rex like they brought back those kakliosaurs.
...that's pretty much what the gun is, in reverse.Personally, I just like the flood basalt correlation in general, though it's almost too neat.

Canada, well, we see that in the intro to ME3.
Lebanon, no clue, but probably fucked

Well you need DNA to clone something. Contrary to what Jurassic Park tells you, there's no viable source of dinosaur DNA.
To our eternal disappointment...Well you need DNA to clone something. Contrary to what Jurassic Park tells you, there's no viable source of dinosaur DNA.
That's kind of what I'm shooting for -- that a big flashy trigger isn't necessary when it can be boring natural processes taken to extremes. And flood basalts are FAIRLY normal, though the big ones are usually rough on life.
I wonder if Jack Horner's still breeding chickens to be dinosaurs, or if anything ever came of that. I read the book, but I never heard anything more about it.
Hmmm......Bear Calvary vs. Reaper Ground Forces....who would win?
To the guy saying Australia is doomed because of its farming, what are you talking about? Australia is one of Singapore's suppliers of high-quality food. They're a developed country and have a much better environment than say, China. Its also very sparsely populated.
Water stress in Australia is a big issue.
Incidentally, I didn't realise you were destroying the Great Barrier Reef. Way to go.
