Even though the oceans have not risen by as much as a millimetre over the last 30 years despite dire forecasts by conservationist doomsayers, Mr Moral said that they would be proved right any millennia now. "Besides", he said, "the glaciers at the top of Mt Kilimanjaro have retreated to the position they occupied in 1962", while the Southern California Conference of Doomsayers Inc, forecast as recently as last month that most of the snow cover used to host the 2002 Winter Olympics near Salt Lake City would have MELTED by August 2002 - serious stuff indeed!
Indeed, the loss of snowfall on the Australian Alps could jeopardise Australia's historic bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics announced at Salt Lake City during this year's games, as instead of only having to raise the height of the Snowy Mountains by 350 metres, it might be necessary to raise them instead by 500 metres - a much more daunting task.
Mr Moral has asked astronomers, both amateur and professional to do the right thing, a sort of penance for their past sins. As a health and fitness conscious freak, he has designed a series of meditations to slow the heart rate, and hence the rate of breathing and CO˛ exhalation.
He has also urged the society to ban campfires and cooking fires at Wiruna, as well as smoking and the ingestion of beans during New Moon weekends in general and the South Pacific Star Party in particular.
In view of holistic theory, holding that trees and plant life respond well to love and affection, he has organised Wiruna's trio of harmonious troubadors, the Three Crooners, David Colouredbudgy, Les Ara, and Don Whitelight to serenade the vegetation on a daily basis to the accompaniment of, and often in tune with, tastefully chosen guitar music.
This is calculated to stoke the intake of CO˛ and production of O˛ by all plant life within hearing range, which should be a lot when the surplus Sydney 2000 Olympics sound system has been installed and the pedal-powered generator perfected.
