Warming could raise UK flood damage bill by 20%, Say Make-Believe Computer Simulations
MARCH 7, 2023

By Paul Homewood
 

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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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