Tom Cowrie has told Melbourne Age readers that "Melbourne's dams are full to the brim - but don't go having 20 minute showers".

Pointing to floods up and down Australia's east coast and overflowing dams, climate deniers present what they feel as they feel is "bullet proof" evidence and rest their argument upon the early 2000s statement by Climate Council member Professor Tim Flannery (pictured), who said our dams would never fill again.
