Losing Ground

What if you woke up and found that your local beach had disappeared into the sea and all that was left was waves and a cliff side?

That's what is happening in Australia! One of their beaches has been eroding for a couple of years now and seems to show a grim sign of things to come if global warming accelerates and we do nothing about it. More than ever, signs of weather changes are occuring all over the world. How much more do the world governments need to see to think, "Maybe this is something we should really start looking into?" Just at least THINK it!
