Predictive map of Britain shows large part of Midlands vanishing into sea in 80 years

New maps of the UK by Climate Central predict that towns and cities will be vanishing into the sea by 2100. As a result of rising water levels, the maps show that much of London and the east coast could be gone within 80 years.

A rise of even 2C could see central parts of the capital turned into a water world, whilst many other areas are left totally uninhabitable. For those along the Humber, such as Hull, the maps predict the areas will become completely flooded, along with a large portion of the Midlands reports The Daily Mirror.

If the rising sea levels match current forecasts, then many other parts of the country could also be submerged. This includes the south east areas in Hampshire, Sussex, Essex and Kent, who would all be at serious risk.
