Could New Orleans Happen Here ?

London could face a flood like New Orleans. London and the whole Thames Estuary have an uneasy relationship with water. There's either too little of it, or potentially way, way too much - it's a situation that climate change only promises to make worse.The same environmental forces that make droughts increasingly likely in southern England are also responsible for raising sea levels, which in turn increase the chances of flooding, according to Sarah Lavery, of the Environment Agency.
