Here you can try out Alex Tingle's flood maps to see how sea level rises (rather than river level rises) might affect you.

In January 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published it's latest report (the  Fourth Assessment Report, Summary for Policymakers) on the causes of climate change and the temperature increases we are likely to see over the coming century. This report states that likely temperature rise by 2100 will be between 1.8 and 6.4 °celcius, with 4°c a likely middling estimate given current trends. 

This temperature rise would correlate to a rise in sea level of between 0.18 and 0.59m by 2100. However these sea level rises do not incorporate uncertainties due to carbon-cycle feedbacks, which could lead to greater rises.

Some context for sea level rise:

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet contains ice equivalent to about 6m of global sea-level rise, and the Greenland ice sheet contains just over 7m of sea-level rise equivalent (source: Climate Change and the Greenhouse Effect, A briefing from the Hadley Centre, Dec 2005).
