Report sea level too

By now everyone knows that Australia will not host the 2022 World Cup.

To plan, even 12 years ahead for a multi-million dollar event is a gamble.

In 12 years, sea level rise at Ettalong will be an additional 49.2 mm or two inches based on information supplied by Gosford Council with this year's rates notice.

This increase is in addition to the 4.1 mm rise per year measured over the last 22 years at Ettalong.

It is the time for change.

In Peninsula News (edition 254), Jim Morrison of Woy Woy reported on November's rainfall and rainfall patterns for 2010.

Is it time to do more than report on rainfall and temperature patterns?

Is it not appropriate that a report on local rainfall and temperature include information on sea level rise thereby highlighting its relevance to the Peninsula?
