Australia's east coast has had insane and unrelenting rainfall all year. This is due to La Nina which causes the moisture to be directed to Australia's east coast.

It's actually interesting I remember people talking a lot about La Nina and El Nino back in the 90's, I didn't understand a lot of it back then because I was younger but it seems like no one talks about that, or the ozone, or any of these other major weather systems, or cycles anymore. Any change in weather is lumped into "climate change" I'm not saying I'm a denier, but I am just wondering how many other weather systems happen on decade long cycles that should also be considered or investigated?

Nobody talks about ozone because global cooperation led by science and public policy fixed the hole. Come to think of it, maybe we should talk about it more.
