All low lying coastal areas will be subject to increased risk of flooding. Where storm surges or earthquake activity is frequent, floods will occur first.
All ocean levels are gradually rising. This rise has only been a few millimeters per year. We anticipate a fairly rapid increase, such as 20 cm (8 inches) by 2025, 40 cm by 2050, and 120 to 180 cm (4 to 6 feet) by 2100. If we get a really good handle on carbon emissions we could slow the ocean rise to only 2 feet by 2100.

yes? answ2. With global warming, the most important effect will be in increased evaporation, and the resultant precipitation. Heavy rain falls may be expected to increase, and if these coincide (in London's case) with high tide, then flooding will be greater.In other parts of the world, heavier Monsoons, and an increase in landslides may be expected.

How did global warming cause the flood?
According to the Bible, 'global warming' had nothing to do with the flood of Noah's day. God intentionally brought the flood to cleanse the earth (Genesis 6:11-13,17)(Genesis 7:23-8:3).

Because of the global warming weathers were changing and this caused storms and a burst of rain drop into the river severn. That is why Tewksbury had a flood in 2007. Answer: We can not honestly say that the cause of the flood was due to global warming from a scientific perspective. We can say that if the planet does warm as some predict, that additional flooding of some low areas could occur.
