Climate change: Rising sea levels threaten 200,000 England properties
A report indicates that lots of houses in England could be lost to flooding in the coming decades. …
The study for the first time looks at places where the costs of improving defences may be too high or technically impossible. It found that by 2050 assuming a conservative sea level rise caused by temperature increases of 2C by 2100, up to 160,000 properties are at risk of needing relocation. That’s in addition to between 30,000 and 35,000 properties that have already been identified as at risk.
