Scientists from Nanyang Technological University ( NTU ), Singapore , have predicted that global sea levels could rise by a staggering 6.2 feet ( 1.9 metres ) by 2100 if carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to increase.

The researchers from NTU took a new 'fusion' approach to their estimates by integrating statistical methods with expert judgments.

They claim this offers a clearer, more reliable picture of future sea-level rise.

Hundreds of coastal towns and cities around the world could be plunged underwater.

In the UK , a rise of 6.7ft (2 metres ) or more may cause areas such as Hull , Peterborough , Portsmouth and parts of east London and the Thames Estuary at risk of becoming submerged.

A 2014 study looked at 52 sea level indicators in communities across the US .

It found tidal flooding will dramatically increase in many East and Gulf Coast locations, based on a conservative estimate of predicted sea level increases based on current data.
