London may also be at risk from rising sea levels and rivers, and the UK capital may need to relocate in the future, Mirror British climate expert.
Sir David King, chair of the government’s climate advisory body, said several cities outside London, including Bristol and Hull, could be at risk due to rising waters due to climate change.
We are an island nation, which is why the biggest challenge we face due to climate change is rising sea levels and sea storms.
He said, adding that the two workers could be present at the same time and that the problem could be particularly significant.
If we continue to emit greenhouse gases at current levels, we will not be able to protect our values and we will have to start moving to higher regions. What do you mean? For example, for our capital.
David King said, noting that the rising waters may also necessitate moving the capital.
He explained that there is already a similar example in Indonesia, due to frequent floods, the capital is already being moved from Jakarta to a higher region. Meanwhile, the expert also warned that because of the long-term climate crisis
Food may run out, mass migration could ensue and the global economy could collapse.
With regard to food, he drew attention to the fact that many production areas could be flooded, while drought and temperature changes elsewhere could be a problem.
Southeast Asia could house up to 100 million, but other estimates, up to 300 million climate refugees by mid-century if we don’t act soon
David King said about immigration.
Finally, the expert stressed that the 26th United Nations Climate Conference (COP26), to be hosted by the United Kingdom, in November this year will also be important because world leaders will have to decide to cut emissions if we are to avoid disasters.
COP26 is a last chance and no exaggeration. There is a great responsibility on the participants in this meeting
