Climate change SHOCK: Rising sea levels to wipe TRILLIONS in flood damage
A study published by the UK National Oceanographic Centre (NOC) has warned rising sea levels could cost the world economy £10trillion ($14trillion) a year by 2100.
The startling report argued failure to meet the United Nation’s (UN) 2C warming limits could have catastrophic consequences.
The findings were published this week by the NOC in the science journal Environmental Research Letters.
The scientists behind the study fear hundreds of millions of people who reside in low coastal areas are most at risk from rising sea levels.
