Sea levels are increasing around Britain at a far faster rate than a century ago while the country is warming slightly more than the global average, a new study finds
A scientist from the National Oceanographic Centre said there was evidence that the rises were due to the increased rate of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
"This year's report continues to show the impact of global temperature rises on the climate in the UK," the Met Office, the country's meteorological authority, said in a summary on Thursday. Meteorologists noted in the report that sea levels over the last three decades had increased in some places at more than double the rate recorded at the start of the 1900s.
The annual study also found that Britain has warmed at a broadly consistent but "slightly higher" rate than global mean temperature rises.
