Letter to the Editor: an arithmetic check

DEAR News Of The Area

My family and I really enjoy your paper in Port Macquarie.

However, (and isn’t there always a BUT ), we were sorry to see a letter published in the name of Harry Creamer: (“Inconvenient truths about ocean pool”, 10 October).

It is a pity you did not check his arithmetic.

Five mm a year of a rise in sea levels would take 200 years to get to a metre, NOT the 25 years he claims.

Thanks and all success in the future.

Regards
John Bishop
