going, going...


There was an ad for Rotto in The West Australian yesterday.


It reminded Rotto Bloggo of a recent excellent article in The Sunday Times' outstanding supplement Prestige Property.


The article looked at rising sea levels, and how premium property in WA will be affected...


Mr Rosser says if everything goes as expected, there will be a one-metre rise in sea levels by 2100.


A one-metre rise means islands off WA will be affected, as will our coast.


“Rottnest? We’re losing it now,” Mr Rosser said.


“But even with a six-metre rise, when Greenland goes, there will still be bits of it left. I don’t know about the bakery, but the quokkas will be huddled together in the centre of the island.”


(Matthew Rosser is from the WA Sustainable Energy Association).


Substitute quokkas for the seagull in the ad and you've got a good idea of what we can expect in 93 years time...
