The southern continent is flooded, torrential rains in the northeast of the continent have caused floods the likes of which have not been recorded in more than thirty years. The forecasters predict the continuation of the heavy rains until the fall (April). Rains that form the southern branch of the monsoon system. Rains that cause extensive areas to flood in the state of Queensland Queensland
Since our world is warming, there is a tendency to attribute extreme weather phenomena to climate change, humanity has a significant part in the warming due to the rise of DTP in the atmosphere, therefore the obvious conclusion is that: since we are to blame for global warming, we are also to blame for the occurrence of extreme weather events.
So, the floods in Australia are humanity's fault... are they? One of the trite expressions is that "Australia is a continent where extreme drought or floods prevail", trite but close to reality since Australia is directly affected by two opposite climate phenomena: El Nino and La Nina.
Under "normal" conditions, cold water in the eastern Pacific pushes warm water westward, the heat evaporates water and "fuels" water-bearing cloud formations and equatorial ("tropical") storms. El Nino (the boy), El Nino is characterized by the warming of the water in the Pacific Ocean, the warm water prevents the formation of rain-bearing clouds in the south (east) of the ocean, therefore El Nino causes drought in Australia.
Compared to El Nino, La Niña (the girl), La Nina causes an opposite situation, in the center and east of the Pacific Ocean the water cools below the normal temperature, a cooling that causes moist and strong winds from the equatorial regions. The winds drive saturated clouds that unload their cargo, which causes storms to intensify and increased amounts of rain. La Nina causes a significant strengthening of the monsoons and amounts of rain and equatorial storms in Southeast Asia and Australia, indeed the floods are not unique to Australia but the extreme intensity is unique.

Climatologists have been warning for a long time that "global warming will cause periods of severe drought as well as floods on a "biblical" scale. However, the effect of the changes on the "children's" cycles is not clear and it is not clear whether climate change causes or will cause stronger and longer extreme "children's" cycles ?
Whose days around Australia are warmer than ever measured ... Is it warming that contributes to the "child" cycle? David Jones from the Office of Meteorology in Melbourne says that: "There has always been a natural cycle, but the background for the cycle is different, "La Nina occurs in a warmer world", meaning more evaporation from the land and the ocean. More moisture in the atmosphere, which causes more extreme weather events.
"So that the drought caused by El Nino or rain storms due to La Nina will be aggravated and exacerbated"! It is possible that it will take some time until a definitive determination is made, but the obvious direction is that "the worsening of the activity of the "children" ... is due to global warming"!

Until the beginning of 2010, we were in the middle of El Niño, to which were added high temperatures of the waters of the Indian Ocean, in May the La Nina pushed out its "brother" and at once large areas of the ocean cooled, which caused the monsoons to increase and floods in China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, the Philippines …. And now in Australia.
The head of the climate department at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (in Boulder - Colorado - USA) says that "the magnitude of the floods in Australia may have exceeded everything because of the warming of the water around the continent, a warming of about one and a half degrees since 1970"! That means again more water vapor that "Fueling" the monsoons and diverting the winds into the continent,

Neville Nichols, president of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society, says that: "La Nina is a natural phenomenon that exists even without humanity and currently there is no reason to state that its strength has been increased due to human activity" "There is no doubt that humanity affects the climate, a general (global) effect ) which may also affect local events, but until now it is not clear how." Matthew England from the Climate Change Research Center at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, says: "In my opinion, in the end the conclusion will be that at least part of the strength of the monsoons in Queensland ... is due to humanity's contribution to climate change".

It is worth remembering and reminding that Australian meteorologists recognized the beginning of La Nina already in July (2010), recognized and determined that "the warm waters around Australia intensify the formation of storms also within the continent, recognized and warned against the possibility of torrential rains, storms and floods. The current forecasts state that: " La Nina will last until March, meaning the rains and floods will continue into the fall The Australian.
In the history of the continent, there were extreme events in the 70s and 20s (in the XNUMXth century), years when humanity's influence on the climate was not so extreme, events that "support" the assumption that humanity's "contribution" to extreme climate events is not sharp and clear!

What does all this mean about us, about our immediate environment? Our country spans different climate zones where the south is arid and desert and the north has a temperate/Mediterranean climate. In recent decades, more and more dry weather cycles with extreme rainstorm events in a short time have been observed.... Is it the effect of global warming? Is it our fault?

  1. If there was a washout I would be in Australia and now I'm back there if Binyamin and I are at the windmill or how beautiful it is here and nice and stunning and amazing

  2. Shula, I'm disappointed in you, I fell in love with you, you wrote such a beautiful comment, what if Shush is also available???????????????
    I planned to come to the hospital to visit you before the catheterization and the stroke and you just insulted me and I don't feel like it now I'm crying very very very sad
    I also have knee pain, I can't move. If you want, I'll ask my Filipina to come, and if you want, I'll sing you such a nice song, and I'll be happy. Write here, we'll get to know each other, and we'll talk.

  3. Hi Igor, I'm dying in a hospital, now I saw what you wrote, I wanted there to be something here that I could write that if I die, God forbid, then remember me and Igor, my soul, I'm a lesbian, I'm in love with Bozlin, Suri Haim, my life, and Zelin, I'm deeply in love with you and I'm asking you to come visit me at Ichilov Hospital I love you very very very much, my father, my atonement

  4. Hi Igor, what's going on Haim Belvalev????
    I was also very sad, oh oh, how much I cried ……………………
    Hear Shola is already dying, she's in a hospital, she had a stroke :-[ Awww, this is a really hard day for me, a catheterization for Aliza, Shola's middle name, and a flood in Austria!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And I forgot to mention Hi, I'm Vazlin, who wants to get to know me, I'm single, looking for a romantic man, if he has a good heart, happiness, health, he won't smoke because I smoke hahahahaha!

  5. Hello, I heard about what happened, you don't understand how I cried bitterly and a lot, it was hard to hear all my family and friends came to comfort me because I cried a lot, I'm 58 years old, I'm already an adult, I don't understand how I cried like that Shola and hi, I'm Igor, do I want to meet you, I'm a good boy, I'd love to meet you To get to know you I will give you the number and we will talk on WhatsApp

  8. Who farted??????????????????????
    Just a shame and a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    To do it in public, whoever farted, yes, it's understandable?!?!
    A bunch of idiots

  9. Ifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff- there is a really stinky smell in here!!!

  10. to all "respondents"
    Just hand waving without a single bit of explanation or information.
    The number 19 is not mentioned here even once.

  11. In the link itself there is a record of the soothsayer telling this nonsense with the 19 year old.

  12. Avi Blizovsky, there is no conspiracy here. There is a record of the soothsayer predicting what is going to happen. As a result, he was even awarded the world forecaster of the year.

  13. By the way, there are mechanisms that can link eclipses and floods, but only regarding floods resulting from tides and not regarding floods resulting from precipitation.

  14. Avi:
    It is not clear to me what you call "repetition of a round of deficiencies".
    If you read what is written on Wikipedia, you will see for example that two full eclipses in the same place are separated by 370 years and 370 is not divisible by 19.
    The synchronization of the lunar year with the solar year does not seem to belong entirely. This is the result of conventions arising, for example, from the determination of the leap years and the way the years are leaped, and in any case it has nothing to do with deficiencies.

  15. Indeed 19 years is a repetition of a round of eclipses, except that the eclipses never occur in the same place but on other sides of the earth at the same time. Because otherwise we would know in advance every year where the eclipses would be and this would repeat itself cyclically and not randomly where most eclipses are at sea or in remote areas.
    There is indeed a connection between the transit cycle and the cycle of eclipses because 19 years synchronize the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.
    What's more, I don't know of any mechanism that would connect floods and a solar eclipse which is simply a hiding in the shadow of the earth when at each point where the eclipse is complete the maximum duration of the eclipse is 7 minutes or so, is that what will change the climate? The more correct answer seems to be the pumping of CO2 into the atmosphere for hundreds of years. It is something tangible that is in the atmosphere itself and not in some passing shadow.

  16. lion:
    Adam did not invent the 19 year thing. He simply quoted from the film and what was said in the film is probably an invention of the interviewee.
    You can find everything you wanted to know about eclipse cycles here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse
    In the chapter Occurrence and cycles

  17. It seems to me that the sentence written by the first commenter "for example, the floods in Australia are related to the 19-year cycle of the solar eclipse" - is just nonsense.
    Maybe someone who knows will teach us if there is even such a thing as a 19 year solar eclipse cycle and if it has an effect on weather. I don't think so. How does a short and rare event of a solar eclipse affect weather? The only thing I know of that is related to the solar cycle and the number 19 appears in it, is the transition in the Hebrew calendar, where in every 19 years there are 7 transition years (with an additional month of Adar) and it does not represent any physical change that may cause a climatic change.

  18. If it is related to the 19 year cycle, why are the floods the worst since the arrival of the white man in Australia?

  19. Good science is good prediction.

    The meteorologist and astrophysicist Piers Corbin who belongs to the skeptic camp in the climate change debate

    Predict the beginning of the heat in Russia and its end, the floods in Pakistan and their end, the blizzards in the USA and the coldest winter in 100 years in Great Britain, the floods in Australia and more.

    It has nothing to do with DTP and/or human activity
    (For example the floods in Australia are related to the 19 year cycle of the solar eclipse)
