My Blog List  Our mission    Tuesday, August 11, 2009  Wong the
denier  From Australia's Climate Change Minister, Penny Wong's
speech to the National Press Club last week. And looking beyond
our shores, by mid century, rising sea levels will directly
affect and potentially displace over a million people in
Bangladesh, the Mekong delta in Vietnam and a little further
afield in the Nile delta, to say nothing of the impact on our
neighbours in the Pacific.  Despite these clear facts,
delivering a serious and credible response remains a political
challenge. Sorry Pen, but it appears getting your facts clear is
the first challenge. Scientists from the UN University’s
Institute for Environment and Human Security say there will be
25- 50 million climate refugees by 2010. They even have a
helpful map. Since there have been few, if any, climate refugees
so far, it means the world can expect 1.5 to 3 million climate
refugees per week, over the next four months.  Try and get with
the program, Pen.   kae said...  Better
