What about Stockton?

The confidential draft report of the world's leading climate scientists due for release next week by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that a rise in the sea level from global warming is virtually certain to cause greater coastal inundation and erosion.

The draft report notes a model showing the beach suburbs of Collaroy and Narrabeen facing a 20-centimetre sea level rise, combined with a storm event causing up to $250 million worth of damage.

What about Stockton, Maryville, Wickham, Carrington and other suburbs of Newcastle?

When will our local, state and federal representatives get the point? We need real action to address climate change.
