“the rate of (Greenland) warming in 1920 – 1930 was about 50% higher than that in 1995 – 2005”
“Ice loss in Greenland has had some climatologists speculating that global warming might have brought on a scary new regime of wildly heightened ice loss and an ever-faster rise in sea level. But glaciologists reported at the American Geophysical Union meeting that Greenland ice’s Armageddon has come to an end.”

“Officials said recently the exact route will depend on ice conditions at the time. The Northwest Passage is open normally no more than two months in the year, but sometimes four months.”
Ten years ago, the Irish Times reported that China’s five year plan would reduce “carbon intensity” by 16 percent, and that the US was “falling behind.”
Move to put climate change back on agenda
Since then, Chinese CO2 emissions have skyrocketed while US emissions have continued their fifteen year decline.
“Indeed, 2010 was officially one of the hottest years on record, with heatwaves, floods, landslides, forest fires and other “extreme weather events”.
“UN climate chief Christiana Figueres insisted that Cancún was “a solid step forward for strengthened global climate action”, and she has called on governments to “maintain momentum” in the run-up to Durban.”
Nothing that these people are doing is having any impact on CO2 emissions or climate.

Australia is almost always experiencing drought or flood. Many years they experienced both.
“Although New South Wales is not subject to the periodical showers of the tropics, a large quantity of rain falls throughout the year; hitherto the colony has been visited by a drought about every twelve years; the last one continuing from 1826 to 1829, during which period, little or no rain fell”
