Scientists mapping the world's water stocks by using satellite pictures have confirmed that Australia is the grip of a drought, The Age reported today.

California Professor Jay Famigliettii said it would take five years before his team could say whether our falling water stocks were a consequence of climate change.

However, the big news is that just in case we weren't sure why it hasn't rained much recently, science has confirmed the big dry.

"We know Australia is in drought," the professor said. "The data is agreeing with that."

Maybe we should ask him to confirm that eastern Victoria is on fire?
