Note from the National Enquirer - I wanted this to go on our Climate Action Brisbane blog but that is the "old" blogger and no longer seems to be available (or at the moment atleast). I'll need to get the admin to convert that to the new blogger.

Article from UK Sun newspaper.
BOOKIES are offering odds of just 25-1 on a Great White SHARK being caught off British shores next year.
Experts believe climate change may mean UK waters are soon feeding spots for the Jaws monsters.
Totesport’s Damian Walker said: “As the sea around the UK is getting warmer many of the Great White’s prey have been moving into UK waters.”
The bookie firm is offering a series of global warming wagers — with 4-1 odds that next year is the hottest on record. And it is 50-1 that the Thames Barrier will be breached in a decade. You can even back a month of next year to be hottest or wettest — with July 8-11 favourite to be the hottest.
But it is 7-4 there will be no White Christmas in London before 2011. Mr Walker said: “We hope these odds generate plenty of interest.”
The Tote will give half the bets’ profits to charity Friends of the Earth.
