Climate change ‘to drown Britain’

Sea-level rise caused by climate change could turn Britain into a string of islands, a study published today suggests.

Rises could drown the centre of London and leave many low-lying cities and coastal towns waterlogged, including Edinburgh, Newcastle upon Tyne, Scunthorpe, Bristol, Plymouth, Norwich, Peterborough and Bournemouth, according to the Benfield Hazard Research Centre at University College London.
