Gavin Schmidt, deputy director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies in New York said, "There are times such as today when we can have snow even in a globally warmed world. But the long term trends are not going to disappear ... Quite frankly people have a very short memory when it comes to climate and weather." as quoted by ABC, on Wednesday, January 22, 2014.

During the year of 2013, Australia experienced the warmest year in the last 104 years. Meanwhile, Botswana and Namimbia hardest hit by drought in the last 30 years.
