the not-so-exceptional rainfall will continue, probably until the end of March. Professor Neville Nicholls, president of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, believes that “the Queensland floods are caused by what is one of the strongest (if not the strongest) La Niña events since our records began in the late 19th century”. He was asked if the intensification was a consequence of global warming, and declined to comment. Other people have been rather too quick to claim the extreme weather as a direct consequence of global warming.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

“It will surprise many readers of the Guardian to learn that in Australia there is still a bad-tempered debate about whether global warming is happening or not”
Well, if they only read the Guardian…
Back in the day, before cable TV and 24/7 news coverage, people wouldn’t hear very much about flooding in places like Sri Lanka. Now the news networks are all over the story like bloodhounds, making it seem like these types of weather events had never happened before and that the world is coming to an end.
Now even the Met Office gets it:

Global warming makes El Nino more extreme except when there is a La Nina and then Global warming males that more extreme!
