Extreme drought - Time for action?

Is the current drought in Australia linked to climate change? Is it an outlier event or something we can expect to become part of the normal climate pattern? If it is the new normal - what can we do about it? 

The Climate Leadership Council puts forward a simple yet powerful approach to combating climate change - something so simple and so effective you have to ask yourself "why is this not already in place?" - an approach that our governments should be considering - something that would have Australia leading the world in addressing "the greatest moral challenge of our generation" (Kevin Rudd 7/Aug/2007). Isn't it time we took action to protect our planet for future generations? Check out the short TED Talk below and you be the judge.
