New York Threatened by Rising Sea Levels | FULL DOCUMENTARY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 ноя 2023
- New York, the American symbol of power, is being threatened. As a mosaic of islands surrounded by a bay along the Atlantic Ocean, the city is barely above the sea level. But global warming has put the city at risk of devastating floods, and by the end of the century, cataclysmic hurricanes could strike.
Today, the danger is real: 400,000 New Yorkers live in flood zones. To save the city, engineers are dreaming up amazing technologies: a giant deployable wall that folds out around Manhattan, oysterbeds in the bay, or waterproof skyscrapers.
Discover the extraordinary adventure of a remarkable city that could soon be destroyed at the hand of what created it: water.

Let's be real, people: This is the United States. So I'm sure that whatever projects are undertaken to save New York City, the ones that are ultimately chosen will be the ones that benefit the stockholders the most.
Exactly
In answering your question: "Will NY end up underwater?" YES, it will.
Wow! Just the thought of abandoning New York City is very sobering. I'm no climate specialist nor a civil engineer but it does appear to be inevitable over time.
Weather engineering gave us Hurricane Sandy in 2012. See the 1938 hurricane and so many others ! I am 60. Been hearing this garbage my entire life.
And London. Imagine 😳😱🌧️🌊
Many Americans don’t care about sea level rise or NYC. Many of the ideas presented here are unlikely to be funded. Barriers proposed years ago but now forgotten. Projects to replace century old tunnels will take decades given how slowly work is done in the region.
I think it's time to give some of the land BACK to nature, especially along the riverbanks. Even if we raise the land along riverbanks, the flooding from the ocean might be controlled but the unexpected precipitation phenomenon (happening more often than ever) is going to make things worse.
Go ahead..give your land back to nature.
Hhy hy dar give your land back we all worked hard for ours
In 2012 I lived in Hunterdon County N.J & we were hit hard by Hurticane Sandy.
Normally I was use to tropical storms but this one scared the shit out of me!!!!
Where I lived @ the time was an old farmhouse & we lost electricity for over a week due to big trees lining the left side of the house & drive.
We had to wait for a company to come & clean up the trees b4 it was restored.
I went to live with my kid sister & her partner bc it was late October / early November & no heat it was cold. I worked @ the local Walmart & I had to change my work shift now due to the distance in travel. It was a crazy time.
The Walmart rented a huge trailer power station which they burnt out & it had to be replaced. 😮
Yea I was 16 and was on my way home from queen's heading to the bronx to my house and although part's of the city wasn't hit as bad staten island most area's in Manhattan and Brooklyn were hit hard especially the neighborhood in breezy point queen's
THE SEA WATER IS RISING ALSO IN NEW YORK AND THE LAND OF NEW YORK IS SINKING BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS SO IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SOONER OR LATER NEW YORK WILL BE UNDER THE WATER...HELLO...!!!
NYC needs to build flood gates like the ones in the Netherlands.
Yeah... but NYC is surrounded by water, maybe there's no way to control the water.
@Prodigious1One the only borough that is not an island is my borough the bronx there's still area's that are close to the water co op city city island university heights and throggs neck
@@shawnhall9792 Yeah, it looks like Bronx people have the advantage to avoid possible flooding.
@Prodigious1One yea they do unless it's in the communities I mentioned in the bronx
I hope this never happens😮
Fear porn. Saw a picture of the Statue of Liberty when it was completed in the 1800s and a resent picture. Surprise, no sea level change. A recent study by Statistics Norway concludes manmade CO2 does not affect climate change. Climate is controlled by natural forces such as sun activity and earth's changing orbit. We are about to go into a period similar to the Maunder Minimum. The Hudson River as well as New York Bay will freeze solid. Yes, NYC gets hit by a hurricane about once every hundred years so it would be wise to prepare for that eventuality.
You are so right.
I never understood this position. They have to clean and put a protective coating on the statue of liberty every few years because the air is so acidic due to pollution. Look at pictures of smog in LA. I don’t need the potential of catastrophic sea level rise to oppose pollution. China has industrialized in the past century and they have cancer villages. So because human CO2 output aren’t contributing to climate change it’s just making the air unfit to breathe, the water unfit to drink, and the food unfit to eat it’s a non issue to you. Way to sacrifice the health and well being for the sake of the profits of oil and gas companies, the same oil and gas companies they are now openly admitting they believe and have for decades CO2 emissions contribute to climate change. EXXON has admitted to willfully and purposely attempting to deceiving the public by covertly funding “scientific studies” to get the results they wanted. I’d also like to add citing a picture of the same place over time doesn’t mean anything. Sea level varies greatly throughout the day due to tide change and rainfall. Sea level is a measurement of the average over time. They have also dredged New York Harbor about 50 feet since the 1800s.
Can you explain islands in the pacific like Kiribati? If the sea isn't rising then what do you call it?
@@Navigator_Isle Could not find any information on the internet to suggest that sea level rising has done damage to these islands. As the earth goes into a cooling period similar to the Maunder Minimum, I expect sea levels to recede a bit.
New jersey has been plummeted by hurricanes every season. I live here. Its just geo location
We just have a little problem::: is too late ⏰ 💔✍🏽👋🏽😏
Grand Central And Penn Station Are Already bellow Sea Level, And Practicaly The WHOLE SUBWAY SYSTEM On The Island Of Manhattan Can Get floded Anny Winter And With Anny Meltdown .,
Most People Who live In New York City, Don't Know How Exposed They Are To The Waters And Tides!
Creative new engineering solutions will save NYC and no longer should money go to fighting wars abroad when we need to fight disasters from rising seas. There is only one enemy: rising seas worldwide.
New Orleans pumps water out all day every day and has for decades.
Japan had to fix their bad flooding too. They have very very deep underground tunnels for water to run off in. Japan has always been able to adapt. I think most of their worries are earthquakes. Pacific Rim Of Fire. Same one that California is on. 😢
I wouldn't live there if they gave me the whole of Manhatten for free !!!!!!!!!
Good. We don’t want complainers
I love documentaries!
We have a passion in common!
Looks cool. I could take a jet ski to work!
Honolulu was also a swamp and a rice field before the high rise buildings were built. Lots of backfill was deposited to form a solid foundation.
They did not sell Manhattan island, they gave it to the Dutch so they can have a place to live, the Dutch put up the 25$ to make it legal.My Father is a Native man
In case no one knows, we are still in an ice age.
Exactly. The earth is coming out of one. It's part of the Earth's cycle. Therefore, the "climate change/ heating up of the earth" will naturally continue until this phase of the cycle is done.
Forget the flooding. The heat will kill us first.
NYC is such a rundown dump today so a tidal wave might clean the mess up..
And LA. And San Fransisco. And Seattle. And Chicago. And .........
When the ocean levels rise, the beaches suffer. Where does NYC exist? Where does NOLA exist? Where does Miami exist, or London... We know how to build beautiful skyscrapers. Do we know how to tame our impulses?
Investing billions dollars? For the rich in lower Manhattan for sure. The rest they don't care about. Also some parts of the city is not ready for another hurricane like the one in 2012
So many pieces of this puzzle! Too many things to go wrong. Leave the area!make thst land park are
Yes . As the east coast is sinking and subsdence caused by constant development
It is an example like what happened or will happen to the Opera House in Sydney Australia. They believe the Opera will be under water.
It is almost 2024. Now are these projects coming along. Should also stop building on coast,as buildings are destroyed,etc
I ❤ NYC
I still remember 911.
SO they have the knowledge and time to relocate everyone but they only care about keeping the business structure ? Basically
Really? Safe? 2:33 when last year all the subways were completed under water?
They're not called sub-ways for no reason!?!😂
California & New York both would be no big loss..
They are working hard to protect lower Manhattan where the millionaire living, the rest well!!!!
Knowing the rat problem in New York City, they will chew up the water collection bags and put holes in the stairwell cover.
They have bigger problems now.
Definitely it is not a matter of if but when.
Please read carefully as I'm convinced is the answer to the following problems.
I was watching about toxic algae blooms on RUclips and it said they are going off in all the big lakes. I was completely shocked as they are turning out to be like the Dead Sea. For it was horrific. I saw it in the biggest lake in Ireland, Lough Neagh, in South America, Lake Maracaibo, in Canada, Lake Winnipeg. lakes in America, Lake Erie, the Utah Lakes, Lake Pontchartrain, Skaneateles Lake, Lake Isabella, Lake Okeechobee and the Salton Sea.... It's all over America, England, Lake Windermere and in Europe. Ezekiel 47:6-10; this prophecy is about the Dead Sea that would be healed if it joined the sea like Panama and Suez and had constant flowing water. And if flowing, surely no need for concrete canals, just an easy dredging job. I pray the good Word will travel!! For surely enough people would do the lifesaving work voluntarily!🙏🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏽
The English canals all around the country were repaired by volunteers. But not this time for work but as a pleasure
🚣🏻
They say it's the increased heat that's bringing forth the toxic algae. So instead of concrete and dry deserts heating up the planet, greenery, flowing water everywhere would cool it down. And greenery, trees, flourishing everywhere with creatures in abundance would soak up all the water, again stopping sea level rise and starting a beautiful new world. A water cycle on earth as it is in heaven. Look at a globe, almost half the earth is desert like. The Salt Sea is the lowest sea below sea level showing that the sea does not go rushing quickly into the Salt Sea like mountain water everywhere would not go into the sea quickly as rivers could come to a stop where people may reside. Isa 35:1,6; 51:3; 55:12 (Ex 27:11; Le 25:6,7)
De 11:11 But the land you are about to cross... of mountains and valley plains. It drinks the water that rains from the heavens.
🏞️🌄
Letting sea in and forming mountains like Panama & Suez would have easy routes to countries and formed mountains would store water stopping sea level rise, and give us the best water for cleaning. The Jordan River that Jesus was baptized comes from the waterfalls of Mount Hermon. Good to learn from is the Jordan in being one of the fastest flowing rivers in the world.

Everyone searches for 100% pure. That has to be with mountain water into fruit trees, crops and even drank by farm animals producing better milk. Then 'you are what you eat' feeling better from that farmacy. Joe 3:18; Am 9:13; Zec 9:17; Mt 26:29
Talk about an earth ‘FLOWING’ with milk and honey!
(Joh 4:10-14 ⬅️ Jesus obviously also applying this living water to an everlasting cycle of good news, in which the Bible is full of. Joh 6:35; 7:37,38; Re 14:6) Re 22:1,2;17; Ps 36:9 🍇🎵
The canals in Britain show what can be done by hand, and are absolutely covered in locks, which could be beautiful waterfalls, in which there's hardly none in comparison to these locks. Once a land is unearthed to form rivers the earth would make mountains in which fresh water from springs could be formed. With the canals being done by hand and the pyramids showing what can be done in moving mountains, we can't say it can't be done, especially voluntarily. If the country was covered in waterfalls and mountain streams all the greenery around would flourish, foods, trees, plants and all the creatures that drink from it? And water cutting through the land and at the top of mountains everywhere stop sea level rise!? And maybe each waterfall would produce electricity like Niagara Falls. De 8:7,9; 11:11,12; Ps 65:1,9-13; 96:12; 104:9-16; Job 38:8-11; Ec 1:7
De 8:7 For Jehovah your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of streams of water, springs and fountains flowing in the valley plain and in the mountainous region,
Because God wanted us to spread out in the earth it must mean this good land is to be a worldwide thing and as God left Israel as a pattern we should follow.
I'm just realizing that the Bible has talked a lot about this. Very much I'm discovering.
B. S.
TL;DR
Yeah, yeah. They predicted waterfront apartments in Chelsea, London by 2015. And........
It was ignorant to build there so I don't care if it sinks. I hope it does. Mostly A holes live there.
Here in central MD we had heavy rain and high winds. And soon we will have snow. That proves Climate Change is real.
NYC maybe! Not where I live at 1500 ft. elevation!
Move!
lol! What a waste of money trying to protect a city that should’ve never been built in the first place!😂
They have a underwater railway built under the shore line. That way all the best people will be saved, in case of disaster. The billionaires took precautions long ago.
Protect us! Protect US!! Heat pumps for each personal dwelling also. It’s an emergency and it’s our tax dollars!
we need to build cities underground. Abov e ground is too dangerous
Where are all New Yorkers going to be displaced?
yep, if I`m not moved.
Hurricanes have been doing the exact sameghing.
You cannot defeat nature adapt or die
... 0:003 DHAAA !?
Wall Street need s to pay for the barrier walls and levies not the taxpayers
Wall Street is made up of taxpayers.
its nyc, that city can survive almost anything
Time to move up to higher ground 😅
Maybe if they make the rent more affordable lol
(12/20/2023) Have others heard about the atomic testing that China did, I don’t know the date, but the underground testing was hundreds of times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Japan. Can you imagine the damage that we and China are doing to the earths mantle with all the nuclear testing? It is NOT good, and it could spell doom for our country like the US that has earthquake faults EVERYWHERE. The sad prediction is that most of the continent will be in the ocean due to a catastrophic event in approximately three generations.
My taxes have to pay for an elaborate scheme to save the coasts? It wont work. Help people relocate uphill. You cant fight the ocean.
Prepare for the worst, no matter what you do, you won’t protect New York. Better to evacuate, the earlier, the better. The whole USA should improve also the way and material used to build a house. Natural disasters which we created due to our greed and ignorance, is going to destroy us, tornadoes will be more and deadly.
Stop talking and start taking meaningful measures to prevent loss of lives.
By the end of the century.???????????
well....
build another city in a more stable ground
Yes!! When the total number of diabetics patients will outnumber the non-diabetic population NY will be under water.
Too little too late.
Tsunami
❤Return of Atlantis 🎉 bye bye 👋
that could be fixed America taking too much money to go to war and don't have money to rebuild America
it’s predicted
for our eastern coastline too..
buckle up.!
learn to swim.
surf.
buy a boat.
build an ark…
what floats your boat.

Well, Saint Barack #Obombing of the Nobel Peace Prize, isn't worried about it: in 2019, he bought a beachfront $11.75 Million mansion compound, just a bit North of the City at Martha's Vineyard.
Yet, he warned about rising sea levels?!
So, is he lying or stupid?
No it’s not. This is another crockpot of bullsh*t.
Big meteor hit and 80% submerged 2092 - 2236 year(s)

Oh as a note I have always said when both Venice as a city and Holland as a country go under water. Holland being the country mostly below sea level and thus will go under before any other place then I will believe it but funny how the Netherlands is same same yet only the US is going under...in more than one way!
BUILD REAL GENERATORS!
8 MegaWatts from a stolen Einstein design for the last hundred years is the real problem.
Should be 60*10^12 (Maybe more , it's still going up as we add Cable infrastructure)
**EINSTEIN**
the land is sinkn
Imagine someone running and flinging themselves against a wall, then bouncing off of it, backing up, and hurling themselves at the wall AGAIN! That’s what this documentary reminds me of.
NYC already isn’t underwater since the last time activists predicted it. Giving us dramatic descriptions, computer models, and documentaries like this one.
Sea level appears to be rising at a small 3mm per year. Atolls in the Pacific nations of the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, as well as the Maldives archipelago in the Indian Ocean, have risen up to 8 percent in size (Ford and Kench, 2020). 89% of the globe’s islands and 100% of large islands have stable or growing coasts (Duvat, 2019). No island larger than 10ha decreased in size.
As regards NOAA tide gauge data, let's look at some examples from around the world. N.B. All sites show a linear Relative Sea Level Trend: Kanmen, China 2.40mm/yr; Sydney, Australia 0.75mm/yr; Ferandina Beach, Florida 2.20mm/yr; Los Angeles, California 1.04mm/yr; Mera, Japan 3.8mm; Cascais, Portugal 1.32mm/yr. Remember, all linear over many decades, or more than a century.
Anyway, if you prefer satellite data NOAA's trend was +3.0mm/year Global Mean Sea Level (1993-2022), again linear last time I looked (but hey, it may have accelerated in the last month).
NASA satellite data (1993-present) for Global Mean Sea Level shows a linear rise of 3.3mm per year. That's the same as two stacked penny coins.
No acceleration, so no relationship to the exponential increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. It's going to be decades before even your big toe is submerged.
@4:25 Dutch settlers my @$$
Well done 👏
I love talking to peoples😮 in hypotheticals that are highly probable, too.
The blanlk look on their faces when you say humor me please, and tell me what will happen if the majority of Science is right .... 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
Nothing hypothetical about SLR. But the average human intelligence is up for debate.
When has the majority of science ever been right?
@jasonnunya3875 Science is a first doudt philosophy. It inherently challenges ots pwn assumptions continuously. Knowledge is discovered, not engineered.
According to Al Bore, New York should have been under water over 10 years ago. Not one of these climate predictions have ever come true.
We've known this was going to happen for decades, and it's happening faster than anyone thought it would 10 or 20 years ago. As the polar ice melts, sea water rises. It's not a difficult concept to understand. Nincompoops like Mark Jones here have all the answers, with zero education on any subject. That's why they vote red.
Look another hillbilly with an Opinion 🤏🏻🧠
Amen, still waiting for a self charging vehicle instead of a long extension cord to plug a car on long trips
Al Gore is not a scientist. If you want proper predictions read Nature. It's amazing how stupid people like you are. Al Gore is not a scientist and FYI, Venice Square in Italy is almost constantly underwater now. Bangladesh is shrinking by the day. Destructive storms have increased by at least a magnitude moire, globally. Forest fires are massive and are happening somewhere at any given time. Insects have declined drastically in numbers. Over 60% of biomass has disappeared since the 60's. Trees in temperate regions are blooming at least twice a year and during winter as well. There are fatal wet bulb temps now happening in more than one part of the world. And this list is just the tip of the iceberg of what fossil fuel-powered industrialisation has done to our world.
If you want to be dumb about it MK well Darwin would have something to say about that. But I'm guessing you aren't even a believer in evolution.
Maybe you should do a little research before commenting. The city pumps out some 13 million gallons of water per day.
Good that place is a toilet
Man likes to play God
Won't happen. B. don't swim.

LIES LIES LIES AL GORE
It is the wrath of our Heavenly Father Yahweh. At the return of Yeshua HaMashiach _Jesus Christ there shall be a New Heavens And New Earth.
There shall no more be sin, corruption, evil, not death
No worries!!! That will happen long after you are gone!!!!
Bath House Barry must be devastated with this information. His beach front mansion is going to lose all its value.
Just where is all this water for sea level to rise a meter coming from, for the sea to rise a meter two meters of water would have to be stored on all the land mass of the earth. Sea level rises are just scare mongering. waves and storms are not sea level rises and are just temporary phenomenon.
😅😅😅
The earth goes in cycles and we r in that cycle when u look back they had global warming thousands of years ago and we weren’t even here then explain that
Weren’t they supposed to be under water 23 years ago? Oh yo pushed back to the next “next decade”. I have been hearing this fear monger since 1982 and it never happened.
I'll be DEAD, by then !
childish
blah blah blah
Rockaway Beach in far Rockaway is the proof its so eroded there really is no beach without the army core of engineers
Get rid of the Frenchman, we don't need subtitles.
Harp can do enytig evrting 😂
I will speak methorphorically , I think that's how you spell the word, too many ships in the ocean, reduce the number of ships, like water in a glass, put ice in the glass, and walla, hokus pokus, water is rising. (Love sarcasm), why build a house next to the beach, or build a house on stilts., well I have spoken my mind, I am going to BBQ with real charqoal and eat plenty of meat, enjoying life, flushing toilets as needed and long showers.
Goodbye newyork ☝️ Animal pile ☝️
No, its propaganda.
