From The Australian CUT&PASTE 13.05.14 That Sinking Feeling of the Left Message from the Court of Appeal! Morgan Godfery, The Guardian, yesterday: NO refugees please, we’re New Zealanders. That’s the message from New Zealand’s Court of Appeal. Message from Immigration. New Zealand Refugee Quota 2013-14 to 2015-16: REFUGEE Quota Programme remains at 750 annually. Kiribati is sinking! Godfery, The Guardian, yesterday: BEFORE Kiribati sinks beneath the sea, ocean creep will make the islands uninhabitable … Tarawa, the main atoll, is a tiny sandstrip some six square miles in size. There is, quite literally, no escaping the misery climate change will cause. Kiribati is growing. Naomi Biribo, Colin D. Woodroffe, Sustainability Science, July last year: REEF islands (around Tarawa in Kiribati) have substantially increased in size, gaining about 450 hectares, driven largely by reclamations on urban South Tarawa. Science is telling us to revolt! Godfery, The Guardian, yesterday: SCIENCE, as Naomi Klein argues, “is telling us to revolt”. Ordinary people need to put pressure on their governments to deal with climate change displacement … Science is telling us to adapt. Biribo, Woodroffe, Sustainability Science, July last year: WIDESPREAD erosion ... is primarily due to human activities … Appropriate adaptation measures … are required, including prohibiting beach mining ... near settlements.
