A commuter ferry passes by in front of the Sydney city skyline May 23, 2011. A team of Australia's top scientists warned on Monday of dire climate change in calling for the nation's carbon-dominated energy sector to turn green, as the government struggles to win support for a carbon price to cut pollution. The report by a government-appointed Climate Commission said many of Australia's major cities faced a serious threat from rising sea-levels, particularly Sydney.
