- The Outer Banks of North Carolina are on the front lines of the climate crisis. Two homes were swallowed up by the Atlantic after a May storm, spurring some in the beach community to move their residences away from the ever-encroaching waves. NBC News’ Anne Thompson reports on rising sea levels impacting the region.

I'm sorry, but what do people expect when they literally build their home on the beach? It's fluid landscape not stone.
Eliminate repeated Federal Insurance payments that allows rebuilding in the same time and time again. One payment, thats it.
The beach is merely an extension of the bottom of the ocean. Sometimes the ocean recovers it. Not rocket science.
Told ya so....years ago..
if you buy a house on the actual coastline, you got whats coming for you!
Those houses should never be built there that should be all mounds of sand piled up there
The shore has been eroding for billions of years. I notice they do not mention the draining of aquafers beneath the shores causing the land to subside.
To an extent yes, but once the sea level remains constant, an equilibrium is achieved and the change isn’t that noticeable. However, rising sea levels due to man made climate change quickly cause a huge amount of erosion. It is true that erosion is a natural process, but our actions have sped it up exponentially.
Cape Hatteras was actually MILES further out when the first colony settled on Manteo.thats quite an Extent
@@nt_partlycloudy21 Actually, the sea has not risen faster in the last few decades than the previous centuries. Water is a great leveler. It does not rise faster in one area than another. There are a lot of places that are stable, that the sea is only rising a little over 1 mm a year. So what's the difference? Land subsidence. This is not due to co2, but to either natural effects (such as isostatic rebound due to magma movement) or man interfering with nature, such as preventing river deltas from flooding, which adds much to the surface to replace the water driven out by gravity, or draining a swamp that feeds and aquafer, or just pumping the water out, leaving space gravity fills by pulling the land downwards. This can be seen dramatically in Miami Florida and LA California.
@@leshollowell13 I had not realized where that was until you pointed it out. Thanks.
Your timebase is off two orders of magnitude
I'm sorry about your 5th home
No you cannot build to someones livelyhood. It may stand for 20-30 years, but not 60-120 years. Amount of engineering and money needed to build something against erosion and sea waves, and hurricane seas. Most of it is wood, plywood, and flimsy stuff anyway, so removal of toxic materials and soils should be very easy. If you love it that much, it should be easy for you.
Common you guys need a more exciting drone guy. You can hire me right now. Ill work for free for a month just to show you my dedication to Nightly news. I grew up watching you guys!!!
Traitors to America pushing a global scam.
@@ricktd6891 ummm what?
@@Nanoblaster77 Anyone pushing the global warming/climate change scam is a traitor. It's global child abuse, treason and genocide all in one.
Homie. Its called global warming. And I see It everywhere. Maybe get away from that computer for a few days and go out side a bit. It might do ya some food. Just sayen. WOW to you sir....
@@Nanoblaster77 Stay inside and don't read any science books unless they were published before 1985 otherwise you're going to get fake CO2 caused catastrophic global warming "facts", not real facts.
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, extinction. We have the denial part down pat
Yea, the liberals are past masters of denial of science and anger at people not giving them the dictatorial powers they demand. There is no scientific evidence that extinction is a possibility with the climate. Sure you can create fake science to claim it, but there is no real science behind it.
It's a scam. Learn some science.
@@ricktd6891 Deny it and we will go away. Is that enough science for you?
@@bingosunnoon9341 Nope, you're not getting it. It's a scam that's killing people, not helping save any lives. Do you want to be part of human and animal genocide? Do you want to be part of global child abuse? You decide.
@@bingosunnoon9341 Maybe go learn the hypothesis and then see how easy it is to falsify.
YOU wanted *Oceanfront!*
YOU GOT IT!!
0:58. Isn't that Greens Point? That right there was the reason they closed that part of Hwy 12 and built a bridge around it.
The seas aren't rising. The beaches are eroding. It happens all the time. Today's word is Erosion.
Wrong 101 mm since 1993. Easily verifiable if you had higher than an 85 IQ.
@@kevinc8955 OK 🐑. You probably weren't even alive in 1993. I appreciate the stupid reply.
Miami has been sinking for years for very well understood reasons but they`re calling that "climate change" too. We had one major hurricane this year and of course they blamed "climate change" for it. It doesn`t matter what happens now...it`s all blamed on "climate change" by these fanatics. California was telling electric car owners to NOT charge them recently because their weak "green energy" power grid wasn`t able to handle it. The alpine glaciers around the world that they`re panicking over formed quite recently in recorded history and destroyed a lot of communities and towns despite the prayers of priests. They started slowly melting before cars were even invented. Grapes were once grown hundreds of miles north of current locations. Sea levels rose over 400 feet in the past 13,000 years without any help from humans. The only reason civilization was able to form was a highly unusual period of climate stability. Ice and mud core records show very wild swings in temperature before this and we can expect this instability to return eventually. What we should be preparing for are events like what happened in 536 A.D. and "The Year Without A Summer." But we aren`t.
Both are happening 🤯
😂🤣😅 say GOOD BYE!!! YOU BETTER MOVE WAYYYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYY BACK.
Nope. Sea level rise is about 7 inches per century. Not too scary.
@@ricktd6891 who said scary ?? So rich idiots lose there houses ,, BOO HOOO.. 🤡...
@@bigblue1287 You're acting like Michael Meyers is coming out of the ocean to murder houses. It sounds like besides not knowing climate change is natural and sea level rise isn't speeding up ( I'm guessing ) you're also a little bit jealous. Have you ever been to the beach or lived near one? It's really quite beautiful most of the time but you know you're always taking your chances with mother nature.
@@ricktd6891 🤣😂😅 . get a new crystal ball. #CLUELESS Ur a Mother trucking KUT 🤣😂😅🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bigblue1287 I bet you don't know where most atmospheric CO2 comes from.
Trying to continually replenish beaches after they are repeatedly eroded by rising sea level and stronger storms is futile. If you want to live out there, then you should bear the full cost of that stupidity and NOT taxpayers or other insurance rate payers.
It don’t look like she moved it far enough…
Thou shall not build on SAND. Only fools do.
Moving your house back isn't going to help, you need to move it to higher ground or you're going to be doing this every few years. In the next 5 years alone, we're supposed to see up to 10 inches of sea-level rise due to glacial melting and sea temps being upwards of 8 degrees in the middle of January at our poles. Keep in mind that the oldest glaciers in the world are only about 65,000 years old, which means that 70,000 years ago we didn't have ice on our polar caps...like, at all.
Is this another Al Gore prediction?
Get real, sea levels only rise at a rate of 1 to 3 mm per year. It would take a minimum of 40 years to rise 5 inches or 80 years for the 10 you claim will happen in 5 years. Of course, if you include the subsidence cause by pulling water out of the aquafers, it could happen in 20 years.
"Keep in mind that the oldest glaciers in the world are only about 65,000 years old" There are glaciers in Antarctica that are hundreds of thousands of years. 15000 years ago, we were in an glacial period, where ice was up to 2 miles thick, covering most of North America and Europe. We are in an ice age, that is by definition a period where there are ice at the poles, and in the alps. This ice age has lasted for millions of years.
@@roberthicks1612 With math and history skills like that, I'd be afraid to comment on a 10 year olds post.
Human's have been around for 1.5 million years, during that time we have seen 10 non-glacial periods, the last of which was in or around 100,000 years ago and it was recorded in a book you have most likely read...
If you don't believe the bible however, you can also head over to Cambridge University in the UK to see all the artifacts their team recovered from the Arctic, that stuff has all been carbon dated to around 100,000 years ago and shows proof of habitation and civilization.
And if you're still not convinced, I'm pretty sure we can even find proof locally through fossilized remains of plant matter.
Oh...and just for clarification...the Arctic loses it's cap first and is usually more tropical during non-glacial periods...based on fossilized proof that is.
@@sneakydudesgarage7121 I have no idea what makes you think that I am a 10 year old since I am the one with the science.
The last time the artic was tropical was 55 million years ago, not 100k. I have no idea what you are going on about, since it is obvious that humans and our ancestors have been around for many millions of years.
Geological data shows that the earth has been in a ice age for several million years. There is no evidence that during that time, the polar ice cap ever disappeared. There are glaciers in Antarctica that are several hundred thousand years and that is as deep as we can drill in the time we can do so. Even then we did not get to the bottom. The ice age is broken into Glacial and Interglacial period. The periods glacial ADVANCES is called glacial periods, but they are still in the ice age. When the glaciers retreat its called the interglacial period. 100k years ago was the last interglacial period. It still had glaciers, just as ours does.
IF you want to know what caused the ice age, its two things. First the Antarctic plate moved over the south pole interrupting the exchange of heat from the equator to the north pole via a belt similar to the gulf stream. The disruption occurred about 100 million years ago as the first part of the continent moved over the pole. That is when temperatures began to fall. 40 million years later, just about the time the temperature began to stabilize, the Indian plate crashed into the Eurasian plate, creating the Himalayan mountains.
As to our ancestors, we can trace our ancestors all the way back to when they had to hid in trees to avoid dinosaurs. I really could not tell you off hand when they started walking upright, but I know homosapien were not the first to do so. If memory serves me, we are the 7 species to do so.
It's a scam. Sea level rise is about 7 inches per century.
Isn't there a parable in the bible about building sand? I guess the people in those days were driving SUVs too much too.
Price you pay for living on a beach.
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels. Well its evident that this popular opinion has not considered a very important fact! The fact that the North Pole's Magnetic Field is shifting probably has more to do with climate change then Co2 emissions!
How so?
Wrong. Climate change refers to long term shifts in the climate and it has nothing to do with man doing anything. Alarmist have stolen that term to try to pretend everyone believes in mmcc. Millions of years ago, co2 was several times what it is now and life was plentiful. All evidence says that the majority of climate change that is influenced by man has nothing to do with co2.
This is incorrect. Our CO2 emissions is what’s driving climate change
@@AA-vi1cc Not according to science. Due to the vast amount of feedbacks and the inability of our system to track all of them to the degree we need, climate modelers use a variable called "climate sensitivity to co2 changes" in their models. It is expressed in x number of degrees per doubling of co2. IF the sensitivity is greater than .5°c, the models can not track real data. IF the models are less than 4.5°c, they can not predict a disaster to humanity. The climate has been changing many times and often much more than it is now.

I have a scientist in my family! So true!
And you listen to them.
and if they are building on sand, didn't people think that the sea,ocean was where they were building. at one point in time. climate change has been around for millions of years. and I am no scientist.
@@taylordooley3765 yes, because they have studied the scientific method and are not listening to Fox News propaganda.
It's a global scam. You need a new scientist.
@@taylordooley3765 Wise people do
Its amazing how earth has changed from the beginning till now it use to be just one big continuous land an now all separated. An it will always change an continuous change is coming
Some day earth will restore it's self. When we done wiping out each other.
It's a scam.
Cheap gasoline did this to us
@@bingosunnoon9341 Fossil fuel gave you everything you have right now so try to be a little grateful and if you want to criticize fossil fuel, go do some research before opening your mouth. The planet is fine and CO2 and global warming are good things if you know some science and history.
@@ricktd6891 God bless our standard of living.
Why you move so close to the ocean 🌊 you know what is going to happen 🤔 you know ⛵ this is better
When do they cover it in concrete and let people bring their own sand boxes?
Stop building new homes in areas they don’t belong and stop manipulating science to fill pockets.
Lol these are all rich peoples rental properties. You know (the ppl who priced all the middle and low income people out of ever owner their own homes ) I have no sympathy for them
Climate change 😂🤣🤣😂🤣
JESUS SAID the foolish man builds his house upon the sand

“ The North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of man-made global warming.” Al Gore, 2008!😱😂🤣
Can’t read actual science so you stick to refuting a politician. Straw-man argument
He was only about 20 years off
Move to the Appalachians.
Shout out to George Floyd on 875 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals! Where’s Jackie???
How long has Ashli Babbitt been debt free? LOL IN THE FACE!!!
They should all be moving miles away because of the massive flooding climate change will cause in the next 7 years 🤦♂️ 😂
Well we've known this for over 40yrs, so maybe if you build a house that close to the beach you should have put pontoon on them. Because now the tax payers have to save the rich again.
Where is the pile driver? They aren't sinking those piers down to bedrock?
Carolinas just woke up a decade ago? LOL *SLOW*
Oh yeah hows Obamas on the beach ? 🤔
