He said sandy beach areas like Formby would be eroded quicker due to large waves crashing down on them: “If the sea level rises, then the waves can get closer and do more damage.
“People should be worried about it in our part of the world for the eco-system, but not so much so in the sense of defending their houses. It’s not like lots of people live right near the coast.
“Even so they will have to pay higher taxes for sea defences and higher insurance premiums. Rising sea levels is one of the obvious manifestations of climate change.”
A WOMAN was rescued from her car after it was submerged by flood waters yesterday.
She drove her black Volkswagen Golf into three feet of water under a railway bridge in Wango Lane, Aintree. Fire crews were called to the scene, but she was plucked from her car by a 4x4 driver who reached her.
The floods were caused by torrential rain which inundated the drains.
