Melbourne to experience the realities of Climate Change

Climate change comes to town.

Or that, at least, is the implication of a story in today’s (October 21, 2012) Melbourne Age headed: “Climate change bill of $1b for suburbs”.

The Age argues in the story that waterfront communities face a damage bill of more than $1b over the coming nine decades from severe storms and rising sea levels.

The report, by Federal, State and Local Governments, says some part of the Rosebud foreshore will be completely submerged by 2100 by coastal flooding.
