Some of Earlsfield and Summerstown could be underwater by 2050, says study

According to a climate change study, some of Earlsfield and Summerstown could be underwater in less than 30 years.

Climate Central has released an interactive sea-level rise and coastal flood map which are based on peer-reviewed science in leading journals.

The map uses current predictions to show which areas of London and the UK could be lost to rising sea levels by 2050.

They say that the map 'incorporates big datasets, which always include some error' and should be 'regarded as screening tools to identify places that may require deeper investigation of risk.'

Houses that border the River Wandle in Earlsfield and Summerstown would be affected.

All of King George's Park will be submerged too.

Other areas in Wandsworth include parts of Battersea and Nine Elms.

Climate Central is an independent organization of scientists and journalists researching and reporting the facts about our changing climate and its impact on the public.
