The warmer winter I ment in general regardless of where you are, but yes, it is summer there, but if all of the sudden people were happy death valley in the US was blooming I would not be thrilled , in fact I would be terrified of what this means and for what's about to start happening and becoming the "new normal".

You know that the frogs who are adapted to these sort of events will be welcoming the rain, to fill up their water bubbles for the next dry season?

The last hundred years in Australia have been unusually dry. This greening is both welcome and expected, and not a "major shift" of any sort.
