Warming could raise UK flood damage bill by 20%, Say Make-Believe Computer Simulations

The usual scaremongering from the BBC:
 

Researchers have produced a detailed "future flood map" of Britain – simulating the impact of flooding as climate change takes its toll.

It has revealed that annual damage caused by flooding could increase by more than a fifth in today’s terms over the next century.

That could be reduced if pledges to reduce global carbon emissions are met.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Not will be reduced but COULD BE reduced.  I guess they don't want to be accused of scaremongering.
