Met Office: UK sea level rise speeding up

This year's climate has already smashed records, with temperatures last week topping 40 degrees Celsius.

Higher temperatures are now the new normal according to a Met Office report which highlights how climate change is affecting the UK.

It says sea levels are rising faster, spring is coming earlier and plant and animal life is not evolving quickly enough to adapt.

Thankfully it doesnt effect the rich so they can still fly private jets and buy hypercars that do 2 mile to the gallon

On the bright side, if sea-levels rise enough they may cover Coventry, Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Remember, half of Norfolk and Canary Wharf, will be underwater by the year 2000

so shall i stop mowing my grass and driving my little 1.8 ltr diesel car while millions of ltrs of jet fuel are burnt every day !

It's not broken. It's just going through changes. Nothing that humans can't adapt to.
So you can stop crying.
Flip-flops are quite normal here in Thailand. You Brits will just have to jolly well get used to wearing them.

5mm a year? So it will take 60 years to rise a foot. Run to the hills!

The ICE age was man made, honest. Grab your life jackets and place them covering your television, the severity of fear will be diminished and you can go enjoy the weather, what ever that might be. Unfortunately house fires have been a thing since houses but we will show you one anyway, and make out it’s your fault for being born, unless you smother your tv in a global warming life jacket. Stay safe, enjoy the weather, don’t let them take your happiness 😎🛟

Alarmist nonsense, only the feeble minded are bothered

The COP Conference 1 was 30 years ago. We have had 25 more COP conferences, and yet here we are, still addicted to fossil fuels. If we haven't done it in 30 years, can you really see us doing anything in the next decade, like we have to?

Best part of this video was the brief inclusion of Boaty McBoatface.

They claim “UK sea level is rising by 3mm to 5mm” whilst showing scary film of ferocious waves thousands of millimetres high, smashing against the coast. They are certainly being alarmist.
I’ve been going to the same UK beaches for 50 years, but the tide now still comes up to the same place on the beach that it did 50 years ago! That’s not really a sea level rise is it?

It will be the wettest soggiest coldest summer next year. You watch.

it is not end of the world is it? it is just end of uk 🙄 according to monkeypox uk media 😂

How can UK sea level rise if it doesnt rise elsewhere?

[peter.a.langan]

In the 1800s we had a cooling period, so showing a rising trend from there is not anything to write home about.

[nigel]

Nonsense! The temperature reading of 40c was taken at Heathrow airport. With concrete, tarmac and jet engines. Sea level rises? Where? That was said 30 years ago and nothing.

We are now in the grips of widespread climate breakdown

[PEdulis]

There is definitely a trend of increasing temperatures and it simply does not matter if it is manmade or not. Higher temperatures make life for humans harder or even impossible depending on the area where someone lives. Therefore, we need to do whatever we can to keep temperatures as close to where they are now as we can. Those who deny that it is man made forget that it affects us no matter whether it is man made or something that would happen anyway. It needs to be kept in check as best we can.

You need to go much further back than the 1880”s to see what’s going on, every 6000 years there’s a sharp rise and fall in temperature, guess what we are due this right now, yes C02 levels doesn’t help but it’s not the whole story!!..🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳
