The Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association (TFGA) has released its drought strategy, demanding a holistic approach from the State Government. The plan is the culmination of a drought forum the lobby group held in northern Tasmania a few weeks ago.Manager Chris Oldfield said at the top of the agenda is the State Government's approach to the drought situation. "We believe the government's approach to drought in this state has been somewhat unco-ordinated," Mr Oldfield said. "It doesn't mean people have been doing wrong things, it means 'adhockery' ruling and what we want to see is a co-ordinated approach." Mr Oldfield said drought is more than plants and animals and it's important there's a whole of government approach taken to drought management, managed through the Department of Premier and Cabinet and not through Primary Industries."It's all the other social issues that come along with drought like education and mental health that can't be managed through Primary Industries.""We're suggesting the appointment of a drought secretariat and establishing regional committees because of the variability of weather and conditions throughout the state." Ideally the TFGA would like the proposed single drought management to be similar to the existing state Emergency Services plan.

Revolutionary climate control project can reduce hurricanes, droughts and wildfires...Top scientists agree.
Climatologists, biologists and physicists conclude that U.S. based Gravitational Systems, L.L.C.'s revolutionary clean power climate control project INDRA will improve the lives of billions of people around the world.
Terraforming weather-significant deserts into arable land with evaporated seawater.
Mr.Henderson, director of research and development, explains that the INDRA project, a proposed network of specialized evaporation channels moving sea water from the oceans deep into deserts, will convert world deserts into biodiverse arable areas which promotes a more stable world and regional weather. Deserts which cover 1/3 of all dry land will be terraformed into productive land.
The INDRA systems will give mankind control of the weather, ending dangerous hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and dry heat waves within a decade.
Vast rivers can be turned on and off in hours, and reservoirs and salt marshes drained or replenished in days.
The increased bio-mass of the terraformed deserts will begin to reverse both global warming and thermal sea level rise. UNFCCC cap and trade certification of the INDRA project will allow individuals and business to fund the plan through carbon offsets. The initial projects will be targeted north American, and north African deserts.
Become a member of the INDRA society and spread the concept of practical weather control.
