Hotter, colder, wetter: it's a new world of extremes
It was the coolest year in Australia since 2001 but still above the long-term average.Global warming will prompt extinctions in tropics: study - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
A new study by James Cook University (JCU) in north Queensland has found that tropical species are among the most susceptible to global warming.Capital Weather Gang - Rivaling reasons for world's extreme weather
The United Kingdom's Met Office links La Nina with the flooding in Australia but stops short of blaming it for the flooding in Brazil and Sri Lanka. It does not address the role of global warming in the flooding specifically and indicates climate models don't simulate strong effects from global warming on La Nina and El Nino. In the video below Dr. Adam Scaife, Senior Climate Scientist at the Met Office says: "Indeed when we run our climate model into the future with increasing levels of greenhouse gases ... there are no consistent changes in the La Nina and El Nino cycle."

This is a profound admission. It means that rising CO2 levels do not functionally impact el nino and la nina. This is huge, since the weather effect of la nina and el nino is enormous.
