Today Tonight touches on an important issue for our country, albeit in a way that does little credit to them for the way in which they handle complexity of the issue. The question remains that we as a community are (one way or another) going to have to deal with the potential impacts of climate change and it is better that we do that ahead of time than in the midst of a crisis.
The report is online:
Steve Hunt's local Council has warned him and his neighbours they're at risk of being among the first Australian victims of rising sea levels due to climate change.
Illaroo Road, Lake Cathie, on the mid north coast of New South Wales is prime beachfront real estate. It is where Anne and Russell Secombe want to spend the rest of their days.
But the great-grandparents could be forced to leave if the Hastings/Port Macquarie Council execute a proposal to reclaim their properties - because a consultancy firm predicts a half a metre rise in sea level sometime in the next 50 years, could threaten their home.
