Sea threat to coastal homes

The speed at which the climate is changing has been significantly underestimated, with thousands of Australian homes potentially at risk from rising sea levels, a conference has heard.
More than 80 per cent of Australians live in the coastal zone, with about 700,000 homes within 3km of the coast and less than 6m above sea level.

According keynote speaker Jo Mummery. Speaking on the first day of the Coast to Coast 2008 Conference in Darwin, Dr Mummery said there were major information gaps in Australia.
