The Age reports that buyers of beachside Melbourne properties don't believe
the paper's spin on global warming:
"HOUSE prices in bayside communities vulnerable to the impact of climate
change continue to soar, with residents expecting the Government to protect
communities against any threat of inundation."
Ah, and more spin right there.
The Age explains it away by claiming people simply expect the government to
protect it from the great seas to be unleashed by global warming.
Here's another explanation - albeit one not canvassed by The Age.
Maybe these people just think the talk of fast-rising seas is pure bull.

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."
