13 of the world's biggest oil ports with the highest supertanker traffic will be seriously damaged by just 1 metre of sea level rise.

Two low-lying ports in Saudi Arabia Ras Tanura and Yanbu are particularly vulnerable.

98% of the country’s oil exports leave via these ports.

Scientists said the threat was ironic as fossil fuel burning causes global heating.
