Submission to the Victorian Flood Inquiry
7p. 5 June 2023
In response to disastrous floods on the Campaspe River that destroyed Rochester in 2011 and Sep 2022, it is essential to redesign the two spillways at Lake Eppalock with gates ... and to re-write the rules for reservoirs so that in wet times, 10% air space is maintained in storages to cope with flood surges from large rain events.

The document has many explanatory graphics to bring the layman up to speed with this proposal that may eliminate future catastrophic floods out of Lake Eppalock.
Rapid Global Cooling Forecast for 2017 2p. 30 Jan 2014 Global temperatures will rise briefly until 2017 when a rapid cooling will set in, due to the combined influences of the 18.6 year lunar cycle and the Bicentennial Solar Minimum sunspot cycle. 334 KB
       
 Mega-Drought Developing  2 p.  5 April 2013 Australia is sliding into a mega-drought period that may span decades. This is part of a cycle of sun-spot activity and global climate similar to the dry period that was just ending when Captain Cook arrived in Australia. Evidence of tree stumps in northern Victorian swamps shows we have had mega-droughts in recent history.  464 KB
         
The Lunar Air Tide Cycle Explained 1 p. 29 Oct 2012 In each lunar cycle of 355 days, there are distinct "air tide phases" which can greatly affect the rainfall levels across Australia's Murray Darling Basin. Kevin explains these air tide phases and the scheduled peaks for the coming years. 304 KB
         
The Basin Plan ignores the reducing Murray flood levels 6 p. 12 Apr 2012 Kevin Long's submission to the 2012 Draft Murray Darling Basin Plan highlights the massive decline in peak flood levels of the Murray river since 1958. This trend has been ignored in the Plan. Kevin outlines the impact on irrigation systems we can expect in coming years.  630 KB
       
NASA's latest prediction supports Global Cooling   6p.   29 Feb 2012 Analysis of NASA's new predictions that point to a likely global cooling period and possible Mini Ice Age.  2MB
         
The Triple Crown of Global Cooling 2p. 30 Aug
2011
Summary of cooling trends expected to shape the next 30 years - including PDO ocean current, low sunspot activity and increased volcanic activity. 466 KB
         

The IPCC climate predictions have failed
for three basic reasons

5 p. 20 June 2011
(Updated version of document)
 
A summary of major flaws in the United Nations IPCC's modelling and understanding of climate change drivers; including sunspot activity, solar radiation and atmospheric feedbacks.
924 KB
         
Cosmic Cycles cause flood and drought in eastern Australia  4 p.  23 Feb 2011 Unprecedented floods in 2010-11 can be explained by the fact that two major cosmic cycles have come into synch - the 18.6 Year Lunar Cycle and the 19.85 Year Jupiter-Saturn Cycle.  797 KB
         
October rainfall decline spells disaster for water supplies
1 p. 3 Nov 2009 The long-term decline of critical October rains is having drastic impacts on agriculture and reservoir inflows. 62 KB
 
Reducing Australia's carbon pollution will accelerate global climate change 2 p. 26 Sep 2009
Discussion paper highlighting that Northern Hemisphere pollution is the main driver of climate change; the importance of addressing pollution balance between the hemispheres; and that reducing Australia's carbon pollution will actually accelerate global climate change.

DISCUSSION PAPER:

The Channel Lining and Pipeline Deception in Victoria's Northern Foodbowl Project  

 
(Version 1.0)
14 p 7 Aug 2009 Discussion paper detailing that the Victorian Government's "Foodbowl Modernisation Project" and "North-South Pipeline" are effectively insolvent.
 Major issues are highlighted in the $270m Channel Lining component regarding claims of alleged water yield, enormous capital costs and environmental safety concerns. A Royal Commission into the projects is recommended and outlined. Includes detailed Appendix of data tables and volume calculations. Co-authored by Kevin Long and Chris Poynton.

The Chinese Effect  - Part 2:
Its impacts on the Indian Ocean Dipole
2 p 13 April 2009 Includes updated theory, supporting scientific studies on the weakening rain effects of the IOD the recent UN identification of effects of "Atmospheric Brown Clouds" and the possible slowing of the "Great Oean Conveyor Belt" current.

Libs-Nats must push for new "Bulk Water" allocation system for Murray-Darling Basin if irrigated agriculture is to have a future 1 p. 23 Sep 2008 Letter to Vic Liberal leader advising that the Bulk Water Entitlement should have been  reviewed three years ago. 74 KB
