Scare tactics hoax by UN? Ex.... Australia coastal living at risk Lifesaver at Bondi Beach, Sydney About 80% of Australians live in coastal areas

Australians may have to leave coastal areas as rising sea levels threaten homes, according to a new report.
The parliamentary committee report says urgent action is needed, as seas are expected to rise by 80cm (31 inches).
About 80% of Australians live in coastal areas, and the report recommends new laws banning further development in coastal regions.
Correspondents say the authorities are divided over whether to retreat from rising seas or defend the coastline.
Coastal identity
The report, entitled Managing Our Coastal Zone in a Changing Climate, urges the authorities to consider "the possibility of a government instrument that prohibits continued occupation of the land or future building development on the property due to sea hazard".
It estimates that Aus$150bn ($137bn) worth of property is at risk from rising sea levels and more frequent storms in future years.
There are almost 50 recommendations in the report, ranging from a national coastline plan and greater co-operation between different authorities to a revised building code to cope with storm surges and soil erosion.
It does not say the government should force people to move inland but proposes that an independent group look into whether the government could - and should - do just that.
Australia's major cities are all in coastal areas, as well as the homes of some six million people outside the main population centres, according to the report, which was issued late on Monday after 18 months of study.
Alan Stokes, the task force's executive director, said banning development in certain areas was necessary if the government wanted to prevent a major loss of life in the event of natural disasters such as tsunamis.
"There's no doubt Australia will remain and continue to be a coastal community," he said.
"But we may have to be a bit more considerate about which parts of the coast we develop further and which ones we don't," he added.
Last week the government reintroduced carbon trading legislation which was rejected in August and is among a package of bills aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25% by 2020.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, founded by the UN, estimates that a global rise in sea level of some 80cm is possible by 2100.
Are you in Australia? What is your reaction to this report? Would you be affected if recommendations in the report result in laws banning further coastal living and development? Send us your comments.
Olympia Snowe, health care, & the Seventeenth Amendment The usurper in the White House is a devout Marxist who is no longer hiding the agenda of the world elites who control him. Dozens of these corrupt and insane lunatics in the U.S. Senate believe this monstrous scam called 'global warming.' This treaty has to be approved by them. The Constitution does not authorize the U.S. Senate or a sitting president to flush our sovereignty down the sewer in favor of being sucked into a......... http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd475.htm Note..ex..A VERY dangerous event to our republic is to take place in December. This is another screaming example of why the Seventeenth Amendment is so toxic:
Thatcher adviser: Copenhagen goal is 1-world government 'Global warming' to be used as 'pretext' for 'change' October 17, 2009
"A former science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher says the real purpose of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen on Dec. 7-18 is to use global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world government.
"At [the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in] Copenhagen this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed," Monkton told a Minnesota Free Market Institute audience on Thursday at Bethel University in St. Paul. by Devvy Kidd
US Navy to Conduct Massive Atmospheric Experimental Tests An article in Space.com (1) titled, “NASA Rocket to Create Clouds Tuesday” by Clara Moskowits, Staff Writer – September 14, 2009, was unexpectedly forwarded to me today. According to the article: “…A rocket experiment set to launch Tuesday aims to create artificial clouds at the outermost layers of Earth's atmosphere. The project, called the Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE)…"This is really essentially at the boundary of space," said Wayne Scales, a scientist at Virginia Tech who will…study the physics of the artificial dust cloud as it's released…CARE is slated to launch today....... http://www.newswithviews.com/Peterson/rosalind121.htm by Rosalind Peterson God Bless
As I read this book I was thinking about the dramatic rise in the rate of autism that is being observed today. He claims that Russia bombarded the United States with mind control radiation for decades using their own type of HAARP weapon. Who knows what the effects of radiation that resonates at the same frequency as the human brain can have an an unborn, still developing child.
He also implicates Russia in creating an earthquake in China that killed hundreds of thousands of people using their 'Russian woodpecker' device.
