BBC News - Action call on disappearing coast

Wales has been urged to take "urgent action" to prepare for the impact of coastal erosion and flooding by the National Trust - Is global warming causing the sand loss and damage? We have taken 100,000,000 Tons of sand away from our natural coastal defences (sand banks) through dredging sand for building aggregate. Surely now is the time to see reason. If global warming is going to increase coastal erosion - why are we still considering dredging away our coastal defences? We are removing our very own natural foundations and defences to concrete over our gardens. Global warming - rising sea levels and increased frequency and strength of storms.
