THE CHINESE EFFECT

Kevin Long's theory that
 the Asian pollution cloud
is the main regional
climate influence on
south-eastern Australia
 



CLIMATE CHANGE, SUNSPOTS AND
 LUNAR CYCLES

 
Climate change is driven by sunspot activity. Are we  heading for a Little Ice Age?
 
Bureau of Meteorology graph points towards this.

An Independent Weather View


Kevin Long has specific experience in Central Victoria and understands the local weather systems and water catchments.
( See section : About Kevin )

His forecasts are without bias. Unlike many government agencies and commercial businesses,  he is not under political pressure to provide positive forecasts.

In 2006, Kevin Long was the first to identify, name and publicise  "The Chinese Effect".  Kevin believes that the large cloud of man-made pollution on the seas north of New Guinea is responsible for drawing away a large amount of rainfall moisture from the East Coast of Australia.

This will be a major factor in Australia's climate future,and has not been factored into our long-term planning !!!

ABOUT KEVIN

A Campaigner for Water
Management Reform


Kevin has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of issues including:

the need for urgent review of rural water allocations so as to "Use Half, Save Half" in our major reservoirs, rather than the current practice of allocating all available water each year without holding a reserve for the next season.
   
the potential for capturing  Bendigo's enormous stormwater resources  which are currently untapped for urban use. Instead, this huge semi-arid city of nearly 100,000 people relies on water from other dry regions to be piped here in the Super Expensive $100m "Super Pipe".

More stormwater leaves Bendigo via its main creek than is piped here by the Coliban Water authority!
