Notts would be a lot closer to the coast
New maps of the UK by Climate Central predict that towns and cities will be vanishing into the sea by 2100. As a result of rising water levels, the maps show that much of London and the east coast could be gone within 80 years.
If the rising sea levels match current forecasts, then many other parts of the country could also be submerged. This includes the south east areas in Hampshire, Sussex, Essex and Kent, who would all be at serious risk.In addition to Britain, other countries in Europe also face consequences due to rising water levels.
Experts warn that a global temperature increase of 3C by the start of the next century would have a "disastrous impact." Sea level growth has been accelerating since 1993 at an average of 0.12 to 0.14 inches a year. This is roughly twice as fast as the long-term trend. After 2,000 years of little change, according to the USA's environmental protection agency, sea levels started growing throughout the 20th Century, and there are three main reasons why the sea rises in hotter temperatures.
