clch - UK flood risks increasing
21 Jun 2021 |
|
Increasing numbers of people, property and areas will become at risk [or greater risk] of flooding from weather and tidal events if sea level is allowed to continue rising at the present rate of approximately 4cm [c 1 1/2"] per decade. The current rate is fuelled by land ice [glaciers & ice sheets] melting - loss of sea ice has no discernible affect on sea level, but does affect salinity and wildlife.
[note : scale of these maps does not show enough detail, many UK counties are actually very diverse in their flood risk]
