Rising sea levels pose threat to homes of 300m people – study

<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/29/rising-sea-levels-pose-threat-to-homes-of-300m-people-study>

"More than three times more people are at risk from rising sea levels
than previously believed, research suggests.

Land that is currently home to 300 million people will flood at least
once a year by 2050 unless carbon emissions are cut significantly and
coastal defences strengthened, says the study, published in Nature
Communications. This is far above the previous estimate of 80 million."
