This story came into my feed earlier.
Up to 13 million people in the UK face the long-term risk of coastal flooding due to the climate crisis, scientists have warned, with a “reasonable worst-case scenario” suggesting the need for the large-scale movement of populations away from a dramatically reshaped coast.
The story is illustrated by a picture of what I know as the former Golden Sands Holiday Park. This has been explored by Anthony Bennett over on his Internet Geography site.
The story references a flood risk model called Fathom.
The original Open Access research report is here (PDF download).
This map in the story is very useful. The Fens and the area around the Wash are particularly at risk.
