Last year these morons claimed Australia was in a permanent drought due to global warming. Now they say the rain is becoming more common due to global warming.

But Prof Steffen said there was evidence that extreme weather events appear to be increasing.
“We are getting more intense rainfall events as the earth warms, but it’s difficult to pin down any individual event,” he told AAP.
“Rainfall events like the type we’ve seen in Queensland are becoming more likely as the earth warms.
“There is a long-term warming trend with or without La Nina.”
The La Nina effect, the inverse of the drought-inducing El Nino effect, results in higher-than-average sea temperatures in the Pacific Ocean leading to heavy rain.
Prof Steffen said he would produce an update on the science for the committee, as part of the Garnaut climate change review update, as well as write his own independent report.
He said there was no doubt that burning coal contributes to climate change and that the increasing burning of fossil fuels meant “we’ve now got a problem on our hands”.
Global reinsurer Munich Re says the high number of weather-related natural disasters and record temperatures around the world provide “further indications of advancing climate change”.
The leader of the Australian Greens party Bob Brown is the first politician to politicise the floods by calling on the government to tax the coal miners because “they are the main contributors to climate change” that caused these floods.
Bob Brown (supposedly green but really red) is the most dangerous man in Oz politics.
Tar n feathers is all I can say, hope I live to see the day.
The “most dangerous” is not always apparent. Brown is a buffoon, but since he is easily recognized as that, he is not that dangerous. The dangerous one is the one who no one sees as being “red”, all the while promoting the agenda of the communists.
“Global reinsurer Munich Re”
Absolutely no vested interest there. Perhaps we should worry about BIG INSURANCE.
The blanket policy is that global warming is causing extreme weather events. If an event happens, point to it and say “global warming”, and never mind the fact that worse events happened well before AGW became vogue.
