Up to 1. 5 million households in the UK face an increased threat of flooding until 2080 due to rising sea levels due to melting Arctic ice, MEPs have found.
Greenhouse gases have already warmed the environment enough to block a marine spot of 17. 5 to 52. 4 mm until 2100 and any further warming will only increase this phenomenon, the scientists told the Environmental Audit Committee’s Subcommittee on Polar Research.
As Arctic sea ice melts, the rate at which it disappears accelerates as more of the sun’s energy is absorbed through the dark ocean rather than reflected back into space through white ice, a process known as the albedo effect. The Thames Barrier needs modernisation to cope with high tides. Later in the century, governments will likely have to decide where to build defenses and where to allow flooding.
