Rebel scientist speaks at Ettalong

A residents group opposed to having sea level rise information on property planning certificates has arranged for a scientist who disputes a human cause of climate change to address a seminar at Ettalong in September.

The seminar on climate change and sea level rise will be open to the public and will be organised by Coastal Residents Inc on Saturday, September 3, at Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club from 9am to 2:30pm.

The group has arranged for Professor Robert Carter, emeritus fellow of the Institute of Public Affairs, to address the seminar.

Professor Carter was a paleontologist, stratigrapher, marine geologist and environmental scientist with more than 40 years professional experience, according to Coastal Residents' chairman Mr Pat Aiken.

"He challenges many of the extreme claims made by the IPCC, the CSIRO and the Government and offers an alternative position that calls for better planning and an end to the alarmism that affects the livelihood and wellbeing of coastal communities," said Mr Aiken.

"He will make two short presentations on climate change and sea level rise followed by a question and answer session."
