The ice caps are melting. Sea levels are rising globally.

Coastal erosion is already affecting the south coast.Some coastal areas are already experiencing flooding.

Reports from round the world show that this is a global problem:-

Some low-lying islands have already been flooded and the population have had to be evacuated.

Given that no-one is reporting that the ice caps have reformed and no intervention has worked so far, we can only assume that the trend will continue.
