It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Ho hum, some are dumb

The rains in Australia were not supposed to return based on American climate models. Nature didn't pay attention to the models or the prognostications of the Climate Commissioner in Australia. But the weather always has been hard to predict. Our climate models still need some work. If they can't predict 4 years out it is difficult to accept their forecasts for a century from now.

Australia had been experiencing a long period of drought (12 years or more) so in the political climate of climate change the drought was declared to be due to climate change. And true to its nature the climate changed again and now Australia is suffering from floods. Damn weather! Makes it hard to plan for it!
