Rising sea levels could plunge 1.7 million more Brits' homes underwater by 2300 and render parts of the UK uninhabitable, scientists have warned.
Researchers from the Met Office and the University of Bristol used computer models to see how many people will be at risk of coastal flooding by future climate change.
Their chilling results show that at least half a million more people will be exposed to floods by the end of the next century.
Concerningly, the researchers warn that these dramatic changes are now all–but certain and will happen unless dramatic measures are taken in the coming decades.
Even if all the world's carbon emissions pledges are met, over 1.4 million people will be at risk of flooding by 2200, rising by a further 0.3 million by 2300.
