Areas in Morecambe, Heysham, Glasson Dock and parts of Lancaster are at risk of ending up under water
Towns in Lancashire could be submerged under water towards the end of this century due to rising sea levels with more at risk by 2170.
If unchecked carbon emissions continue into the next century, however, we could start to see a sea level rise of five metres in 2170. Shockingly, it would see huge chunks of Southport, tourist hotspot Blackpool and most of Morecambe under water.The map says parts of Morecambe, the Wirral and Liverpool will see a rise of half a metre by 2070 if carbon dioxide emissions remain unchecked. This increases to one metre by 2090, which will see even more of the county submerged.
Further north in Morecambe, parts of Heysham would also be in danger. Glasson Dock, parts of Lancaster, Sunderland, Heaton and Oxcliffe Hill are also at risk of ending up under water.
