I don't think any scientist is saying that the droughts we have had
recently are simply and solely due to climate change. What they are
saying is that existing climate factors that can bring drought like ENSO
are likely to get more powerful or more frequent. So the first part of
the reason for denial is the confusion between shorter term events like
weather, middle term events like ENSO and the long term.

WTH is ENSO?????

OK thanks for that. Never seen that acronym b4 and spent 29 years with the
BoM. Had it said SOI or similar i would have twigged. But El Ninyo
(pronuciation) b4 it had me stumped. Too long out of the bureau.
Thanks Jim
