It completely wrong to say they have never had any heavy rain, which is what that statement suggest. instead it is more correct that there have been none recorded. Every part of the world has experience heavy rain at some point.
No one is arguing wheither or not there is climate change. what the arguement is about is how much of it is mans doing. According to the GWA, at one point, man was the solo cause of it. They have since backed down from that and now claim he is the primary cause of it. Others claim that there is more causes to it than we know of, and that there are cycles that are occuring. some of these are at the point where they will cause a considerable increase in temperature at this point, but some of these cycles are indicating a cooling trend soon. Some will have a cooling trend by middle of the century, others some time after 2100.
what many people are not willing to see is that the climate of the earth is very dynamic. its always changing. We are in an upswing now, but for how long?
Very few people have every claimed that man has had no effect on climate. Some have claimed that less than 2 percent of the change of the last century is due to man, while others claim its 98 percent. The reality, im sure is somewhere in between. personally i believe that less than a quarter of it is due to man. The most we have done is accelerate it a few decades (imho).
but to answer your question, yes, there is a climate change.
