Current Warming Trend Indicates Rising Sea Levels

As laid out in the book 'Global Warming: A Convenient Disguise', we see the true science of today's warming trend coming into fruition. What most of you did not know is the IPCC (intergovernmental panel on climate change) knew all along the current warming trend "is not preventable".In fact, the IPCC specifically outlines future "mass migration" as imminent. An estimated 46 million people per year who live on coastal areas are currently at risk of flooding from storm surges. Climate change will exacerbate these problems, leading to potential impacts on ecosystems and human coastal infrastructure. Large numbers of people also are potentially affected by sea-level rise-for example, tens of millions of people in Bangladesh would be displaced by a 1 millimeter sea level increase (the top of the range of IPCC Working Group I estimates for 2100) in the absence of adaptation measures.The myth of the 1988 made up name 'global warming' is now having a horrible backlash as a result of misleading lies and deception. Very few people now trust all the dogma coming from the well organized self-centered environmentalist who latched on to the global warming cabal. The Al Gore movement has created a very dangerous "cry wolf" scenario with serious consequences at hand.Al Gore and the global warming army used the exact same playbook as the Bush regime. Instead of the litany of lies as presented by the Bush regime such as: "You are either with me or with the terrorist; 9/11 = Iraq = weapons of mass destruction." ------- The Al Gore regime uses: "you are either with me or you are with the polluters; the scientific debate is over; we must fight the evil doers and save the Polar Bears". Needless to say the world has witnessed the implosion of the Bush regime from the weight of their deception, trickery, and lies. But what about the Gore regime? Well let's take a closer look and see how their "playbook" is working out----------A High Court Judge Rules Against Former US Vice President Al Gore's Movie, 'An Inconvenient Truth' Well I guess we can see where this is going. Looks pretty much like the Bush regimes' Iraq = 9/11 shameful outcome.
High court judge Justice Burton ruled against Al Gore's global warming hyped film 'An Inconvenient Truth'. The most striking slap-down was his ruling that Gore's Hollywood docu-drama provided "no evidence of anthropogenic warming". The word "anthropogenic" is nothing but a legal scientific term meaning "human caused".
But it didn't stop there. Judge Burton had a long list of descriptive adjectives to describe Gore's false statements and "intent" to project as science fact. What we found was nothing more than "science fiction". In Burton's own descriptive words. Judge Burton's ruling: "no evidence, one-sided, exaggeration, very unlikely, cannot be established, (the facts) plainly does not support Mr Gore's description." OUCH---- that can't feel good.But the most telling of Burton's ruling statement as the result of legal adjudication was this: "It is apparently considered to be far more likely to result from other factors." Other factors indeed---such as the Sun. Just as with the Bush regime's mis-steps with Iraq causing the United States to lose its posture of integrity throughout the world because of the deception, lies, and cover-ups; the Gore 'global warming' cabal has fallen into the same pattern. The world is now quickly discovering the falsehoods, deception, and lies brought forward by the Gore regime regarding the made up name 'global warming'. But in this lays a cruel, dangerous, and deadly outcome. As with the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and thousands of US troops who have been killed all based on a LIE, the same will happen to whole communities around the world because they were sold a pack of lies; now they no longer believe a word any form of government official will say when warning about rising sea levels. How Bush or Gore can live with themselves is beyond my comprehension.-----As stated by the IPCC themselves, a growing number of extremely large cities are located in coastal areas, which means that large amounts of infrastructure may be affected. Although annual protection costs for many nations are relatively modest-about 0.1% of gross domestic product (GDP)-the average annual costs to many small island states total several percent of GDP. For some island nations, the high cost of providing storm-surge protection would make it essentially infeasible, especially given the limited availability of capital for investment. Beaches, dunes, estuaries, and coastal wetlands adapt naturally and dynamically to changes in prevailing winds and seas, as well as sea-level changes; in areas where infrastructure development is not extensive, planned retreat and accommodation to changes may be possible. It also may be possible to rebuild or relocate capital assets at the end of their design life.
In other areas, however, accommodation and planned retreat are not viable options, and protection using hard structures (e.g., dikes, levees, floodwalls, and barriers) and soft structures (e.g., beach nourishment, dune restoration, and wetland creation) will be necessary. Factors that limit the implementation of these options include inadequate financial resources, limited institutional and technological capability, and shortages of trained personnel. In most regions, current coastal management and planning frameworks do not take account of the vulnerability of key systems to changes in climate and sea level or long lead times for implementation of many adaptation measures. Inappropriate policies encourage development in impact-prone areas. Given increasing population density in coastal zones, long lead times for implementation of many adaptation measures, and institutional, financial, and technological limitations (particularly in many developing countries), coastal systems should be considered vulnerable to changes in climate.In an article released today by Geoffrey Lean of The Independent shows: "an inhabited island has disappeared beneath rising seas." Rising seas have washed over Lohachara Island, in India's part of the Sundarbans where the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers empty into the Bay of Bengal, may be the first sign of what is to come.

Weather and crops

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) has revised down its forecasts for 2007-08 winter crops due to the continuation of the drought. The winter wheat crop output is now forecast at 12.1 million tonnes, compared with a previous estimate of 15.5 million tonnes. Barley is forecast at five million tonnes, against a previous prediction of 5.9 million tonnes. This year's canola crop is now estimated at 900,000 tonnes, versus 1.1 million tonnes previously. ABARE said with the exception of Queensland, pockets of northern NSW and southern Western Australia, rainfall during the critical September-October period had been below to very much below average throughout the grains belt. NSW had been particularly dry, with many regions recording their lowest September-October rainfall on record. "This lack of rainfall, combined with hotter than average daytime temperatures and strong winds, has led to the rapid deterioration of crop yield potential and in many areas has resulted in total crop failure,". Although the combined total of 18 million tonnes for the three major crops is about 42 per cent below the five-year average, it is still about four million tonnes above 2006-07 production.A significant number of winter cereal crops had also been cut for hay in an attempt to recoup some planting costs. Mr Glyde said livestock had also been affected by the deterioration in seasonal conditions, with farmers continuing to reduce stock numbers."High yardings of cattle, sheep and lambs during September and the first three weeks of October have led to lower saleyard prices,". The rainfall outlook for summer crop production was promising.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has indicated in its latest seasonal rainfall outlook for the November-January period that there is a moderate to strong shift in the odds toward above-average rainfall for southern Queensland and northern NSW

Soaring Aussie Dollar!!! Yay


A soaring Australian dollar is turning away foreign tourists from our shores — while locals are taking up ever more affordable opportunities to spend their cash on overseas holidays, according to an Australian newspaper. The Australian Tourism Expert Council has warned that the local tourism industry needs to reinvigorate its pitch to overseas markets, especially where gains by the Australian dollar have caused concern among prospective inbound tourists. The tourism council's managing director, Matthew Hingerty, told the Sydney Morning Herald: "There's massive investment in infrastructure in our region, and we are missing out in particular in (the hosting of) meetings and events in "We need a significant injection of marketing dollars, and we also lack innovation." (just one man’s view. We infact are a very innovative society Mr Hingerty!)">The Australian dollar stands at US92.07 cents and 105.52 yen, according to overnight market reportsThe latest Tourism Research Australia International Visitor Survey revealed that 5.1 million international visitors came to Australia in the 2006/07 financial year — three percent up on the previous year but lagging behind the global growth rate of 4.5 percent. Mr Hingerty said he welcomed the Federal Government's $8 million campaign last month promoting world heritage areas to the Japanese market.
the Phoenix's view: Australia is coming into it's own power at last! not being reliant on the US dollar.We are independent!
A most positive statement for Australia, we are growing up as a nation in it's own right.
