Climate change will leave almost nobody untouched 😔😔

Fields are completely flooded at Bardney, near Lincoln after the Barlings Eau broke its banks on November 15, 2019

Dr Andrew Shepherd, a professor of earth observation at the University of Leeds, said: ‘As a rule of thumb, for every centimetre rise in global sea level another six million people are exposed to coastal flooding around the planet. The extent of climate change on the severity of flooding has been previously unclear due to a lack of data. But the Vienna University of Technology claims its database is the most complete on European flooding so far, involving research institutions in 24 European countries including the University of Bath and University of Liverpool.Researchers analysed records from 3,738 river flood measurement stations across Europe over five decades.

Meanwhile, separate studies carried out in 2015 show the devastation that a rise in sea levels would bring to London.
