Another climate predction

2007:


DROUGHT will become a redundant term as Australia plans for a permanently drier future, according to the nation’s urban water industries chief…


”The urban water industry has decided the inflows of the past will never return,” Water Services Association of Australia executive director Ross Young said. “We are trying to avoid the term ‘drought’ and saying this is the new reality."… Mr Young blamed climate change for the nation’s water woes.


2011:


Last year was Australia’s third-wettest year on record as a 14-year “long dry” was broken by the rapid transition from El Nino to La Nina conditions. The second half of the year (July to December) was the wettest on record for Australia.

  2. It's called the "Al Gore effect" -a very inconvenient truth :)It even happened in Cancun, Mexico- no snow this time but the lowest temperatures ever recorded there.
