More doom and gloom scenario's about Climate Change are soon to be coming out of the CSIRO, according to this article CLICK HERE
I am all for publicising Climate Change awareness as you all know, but I understand we get the message that Climate Change is bad and its effects are potentially catastrophic and i have no desire to harp on, but over the next few weeks the lobbyists are going to try to convince us to give away the pollution permits to big business so they can legally continue on their merry way, instead of taking some ownership for their contribution towards Climate Change, they will try and tell us the COSTS OF THE SCHEME are devastating, we need to remember the costs of not acting are potentially more devastating. .
So with this in mind and just in case you did want to know the latest discovery on how Climate Change is going to devastate life as we know it.

THE regions most at risk from climate change in Australia are where most people live, the Climate Institute has warned.
Using data from soon-to-be-published CSIRO research, the institute found the impacts of climate change threatened the major cities of mainland Australia - where more than 60 per cent of the population lives.
The regions most at risk are the catchments of Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Murray-Riverina.
The assessment, undertaken by the CSIRO this year, was based on climate change impacts, historical rainfall changes, catchment condition and population growth.
"Clearly, there will be high costs of government inaction on climate change - and it will be felt hardest in our major cities," institute chief executive John Connor said.
"New research by the CSIRO has also shown that the impact of climate change on the length of severe droughts may double or triple in some parts of Australia after 2050.
