A more detailed map with areas in RED that are likely to be at frequent risk of flooding by 2030, as a result of global warming resulting rising sea levels and increased rainfall. . . Not my Image : Fair Use & public information

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] . . Not my Image ; Fair Use & public information
