You guys have really been enjoying learning about the cycles affecting the Earth, and this was the last one in this series in production. If you want to see the other videos I've done on this series, check out this playlist: ruclips.net/video/mggRl80WzbE/видео.html Have I missed any cycles out, or is there something you want to learn more about? Let me know.
I learned a lot about the tides and what causes them. I love learning but I’m struggling on this sea level rising panic. They’ve risen 10cm in 30 years but that’s less than 4”. The way it’s portrayed in the media is as if it’s risen 10 meters which greatly affects their credibility in my eyes. They try and panic everybody and that’s just nonsense. If you do a deep study you’ll see that technically we’re in an ice age compared to the last billion years. It goes up and down quite a bit and we’re barely on the upswing. I believe the climate is changing but it’s a natural cycle and man has very little impact on the temperature change. The Bible clearly states that the sun will burn mans skin in the last days but they will not repent. Instead they try and make everyone struggle to be carbon free. Thank you for all the videos because I’ve spent many hours binge watching the different planets lol. Great job ❤
After Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the government was studying flood & storm surge damage. They brought in experts from Northern Europe. They recommended building canals through housing neighborhoods, instead of big lakes & dams. The locals said the canals would be unsafe for children, and wondered by they work in Europe. The answer was “we teach our children to swim.” The suggested improvements were never built.
I lived in Kenner ( an outskirt of nola ) when Katrina hit and settled in Lutcher/Gramarcy, then Watson, La. after. It snowed in Southeast Louisiana enough for it to stay on the ground once for the next 3 years straight. 2006-2008 and had coolest sustain temps I'd seen in Louisiana to that time. It's snowed in Southeast Louisiana 5 times in the last 20 years. The last time before that was in 2001, then 1988. Snow is actually becoming MORE frequent here.
I think one of the main reasons for the South Carolina floods was the absolute firehose of rain coming in from the Atlantic. The rising levels in Lake Murray required all six floodgates on the dam to be opened to avoid an overflow; the increase in water flow broke 2 more dams further down the Saluda River. (The area near where I live was under 7 feet of water). This begs the question, is the actual weather affected by the nodal cycles or just the tides? Most people think the floods were just part of a particularly unusual weather event.
@@FLPhotoCatchermakes the troposphere thicker, much more atmosphere in the tropical troposphere so the Greenhouse effect is amplified. That's why so much global warming is present at the equator and so little affects the poles. The poles don't get much greenhouse effect at all.
They just keep rebuilding. That's the whole problem. There is only so much we can. Flood insurance was never meant to keep people in the flooded areas and that is all it has done . People need to get it. You can't live in th water. But I agree with you.
That started more than 15years ago in Florida, and about the early 2010s in other lowlying eastern states. Search for "not insurable" on private home listings, because at high tide those "buildings" main floor is under at least 6inches of water. The homeowners technically can't sell them directly, as they have zero value due to zero home *and fire department* coverage! BUT... Florida's governor has given them special dispensation in every yearly budget since 2002. , They have outright refused to rightly declare those entire sub-divisions as condemned, because it would overwhelmingly hurt +55 year old voters! Effectively erasing ~3 Billion USD in mostly leveraged, and/or income generating, assets! That would instantly trigger every bank and private insurance (& re-insurers) to reassess all the coastal properties for the same Climate Change caused loss of value. Acknowledging climate change will/has cost those Purple and Red States tens of billions in personal asset vaues, would have a seismic shift like the Civil Rights Bill's passage did.
The water is trying to fling off into space due to its somewhat linear momentum in a lower gravitational position. Spinning is an effect that increases towards the equator and has nothing to do with affecting lunar tides. If the Earth weren't spinning you would still get the same tidal effect. The spin effect is completely separate.
I just looked at the NOAA Tide tables predictions for Puget Sound in year 2034 and didn't see any appreciable difference in that year to any other year.
Because if they acknowledge the lunar nodal cycle, they can't blame the subsequent flooding on "climate change" and bilk the public for billions of $$$$
Some minor corrections: Spring tides occur every two weeks so there are about 25 per year rather than 6-8. The tidal force from the sun is almost exactly half that of the moon, not a third as much.
4:40 Spring tides happen twice a lunar month "not 6 to 8 times a year". I think you might mean "king tides" in this instance. The spinning dancers explanation of the 2nd high tide opposite the moon is just brilliant. I have been trying to visualise how that opposite side bulge occurs for a long time. This really explains the mechanism for me. So simple. Thanks!
@@MikeJones-mf2fw Blind obedience makes you the dufus. Just because Alex usually makes a good video doesn't make him incapable of error. Giving up critical thinking skills in exchange for hero worship is part of the problem in todays America. You and trumps Maga misfits have much in common. Good luck with those growing pains.
As a Brit living now in Australia I can tell you that the term ‘king tide’ isn’t used in the UK. The first I ever heard of it was when I moved here 8 years ago. This might explain the confusion because Brits call King Tides Spring Tides.
I'm not so sure climate change is going to cause so much sea level rise to makes this worse than normal. 20 years ago they said Miami would be under water 10 years ago and the ocean is still no where any kind of description of NEAR putting south Florida in the under water. I have a feeling some high tides will truly be the least of anyone's problems in 2034.
The sea levels have been rising slowly since the end of the ice age because we are in an inter-glacial period. When they tell you that you have to stop eating beef and driving a car to try to 'stop' this, it's a scam to push billions back into poverty and under authoritarianism.
All predictions are based on our collected data, scientific research of influencing factors (water temperature for example). Our whole planet is a system of greater or smaller dependencies in a factor (water temperature) and between different factors (water and air temperature interacting). Now think for a moment, how badly our network for data collection is. In the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan.... nice. North and South Pole, South America... Africa, Central Asia, pacific islands.... in the water, at different depth levels.... Our big headache, if certain factors become bigger then we expected because of this inconsistent data or influencing other factors more then we expected. We know for example, an cooling of the gulf stream system could bring an ice age to Europe rather quickly. Would be bad for Europe and the global economy. A huge amount of ice covered area would reflect more sunlight, having an cooling effect... imho.... we act careless in the sake of company profits in comparision to the risks we are taking.
@@michaelpistey4001 please google how many cities we know from historic sources that have been nowadays under water. You will be surprised. The USA is a pityful young nation with not a lot historic experiences with continental or global desasters.
Funny I’ve lived on the gulf coast my entire life and I’m still waiting on the water level to rise from global warming. Some of these little docks have been around over 50 years with the same water line on them. Been going to the same beach on an island for decades. I’ll believe it when I see it.
No, because governments mostly consist of men, and those are not generally known for their long term policies. They prefer shiny new toys for themselves to less sexy projects that benefit everyone. Hence the oversized armies.
Many of these cities were developed centuries ago and are simply built upon areas in which are susceptible to weather events. Extremely minor changes like (a few centimeters) of a rising water level, which is otherwise so minimal as to be within the margin of error of instrument readings, can affect cities already susceptible to these events without any change in water level. Cities not so sensitive to such small changes will see no perceptible change in effects. Example: Hurricanes can mess you up something severe no matter how well designed. The Netherlands proves to us how little that effect can have even on a below sea level country if designed in a good way. Mangroves are a great idea, specifically for the US coastal cities in the south. New Orleans is famously well below the sea water level so it's just not a good example of anything related to changes in weather patterns. I would be concerned if cities otherwise unaffected, start to feel effects. This is what would concern me.
@@Knight_Kin The Netherlands do not have to face hurricanes. Winter storms are frequent, but mostly moderate enough as not to harm coastal infrastructure. Devastating storms are the exception there. The modern dikes were designed to withstand even them, but the actual threat is less obvious. The Netherlands are a river delta country at the North Sea, where sea and rivers meet. That favored human settlements to use the sea and rivers for transport and commerce. In order to feed the people, the land had to be agriculturally used. That posed a problem, as the fertile areas were partly drowned. Hence the polders. These polders tend to sink, as the soil becomes more dense. Water-management nowadays tries to mitigate the issues by allowing natural water to reclaim areas, which even can deposit more soil than previously existed there. These areas cannot be used for human habitat anymore, so plans need to be conceived on how to offer a growing population the means to settle.
Mangroves were recommended to be planted in a coast of a local government in the Philippines. The officials approved the reclamation thereat instead and the building of shopping malls.
Hi! I'm a uni student who's currently in a restoration ecology class. I'm going to strongly disagree with your point about the Netherlands. Those pump and levee systems are rather fragile, because they need really high levees in order to keep the water out, and constant maintenance to keep them functioning. Where these systems are built, they destroy native habitat that is just as much of a carbon sink as the mangroves you mentioned. They also prevent silt deposition to the coastline from the channelized rivers, which makes the coastline more vulnerable to erosion. It is not a long term solution, as ocean water levels will continue to rise and more money will be needed to put together even more aggressive pump/levee systems. A better "working with nature" approach would be to put everything on stilts, and not completely destroy the habitat that everything is built on. That isn't particularly appealing or functional for our current way of life, so the real best alternative is to move away from the coastlines and onto higher ground.
Another interesting facet of orbital dynamics! Thanks! I was slightly disappointed with the simplified and erroneous tidal forces explanation for the two bulges caused by tidal effects of the Moon and Sun. The reason for the bulge on the opposing side from the Moon or Sun is not due to centrifugal forces of the spinning Earth. (If this were the case we'd truly be screwed!) The distance differential and thus gravitational forces on the distant side of an orbiting object is less and thus a spherical object will flatten.
You are correct, I felt the same disappointment as you. The effects of gravity are exponetial, the opposite side is accelerating much less towards the moon, the tides on the other side of Earth are the result of the water lagging behind. The Earth is solid and moves as one, but the oceans can flow, and thus they can lag behind, ironically causing high tides on the opposite side of the moon...
The stuff about the Moon and its impact on Earth is really cool, especially the Lunar Nodal Cycle. I never realized how much the Moon, Earth, and Sun work together to create big tides and even floods. It’s like everything in space is connected in this delicate way, and what happens way out there actually affects us here. It’s pretty wild to think about! (EDIT): The fact that I took a youtube transcript of this video; fed it to chatGPT and told it to make a comment that makes me look stupid at the same time as it seems like I payed attention to the video to make people argue Just shows how dangerous AI can be. keep your eyes peeled :)
@@EatonShitson let me dive deeper into that high school flashback for you! So, picture this: I'm sitting in my high school science class, and the teacher starts talking about the Moon, tides, and all that jazz. At first, I'm like, "Okay, the Moon makes the tides go in and out, got it." But then, the more we get into it, the more I realize there's a whole cosmic soap opera happening above our heads. I mean, come on, the Moon, Earth, and the Sun are basically the ultimate celestial trio. The Moon's gravitational pull is like this cosmic magnet, and it's tugging on our oceans, creating these massive tidal movements. It's like the Moon is saying, "Hey, Earth, I see you, and I'm going to make your oceans dance." But then, they drop the bombshell about the Lunar Nodal Cycle. Now, that's where things get seriously mind-boggling. It's not just about tides; it's about how the Moon's orbit changes over time, and it messes with those tides even more. It's like the Moon is playing this long-term game of cosmic tug-of-war with our oceans, and we're just along for the ride. Sure, some might say, "Oh, we learned this in high school, what's the big deal?" But here's the thing - it's one thing to learn it as a fact, and it's another to really grasp the idea that everything in space is connected. It's like this delicate cosmic ballet where one move by the Moon can lead to big tides, and in some cases, even floods right here on Earth. So, yeah, maybe we covered this in high school, but every time I think about it, I'm reminded of how awe-inspiring the universe is and how even the seemingly distant stuff happening up there can have a real impact on our lives down here. It's like a never-ending cosmic show, and I'm here for it!
@@EatonShitson Assuming everyone has had the exact same life experience as yourself is remarkably short sighted. You can grasp the scale of universal forces but not the scale and complexity of the human race. Fascinating.
Moral of the story: Don't build your house (or city) on the edge of a massive body of water (or volcano, or geographic fault line). Sounds like common sense to me, but what do I know.
Every time I hear about threats to low-lying coastal areas, I think about all the low-lying areas that have been consumed by the seas in recent decades - and then I remember that weren't any and that (for instance) The Maldives are still there and not only that, but so many global powerbrokers have high-value properties right by allegedly threatened coastlines.
Every 10 years we're doomed! All the islands will be gone! No snow! No rain to fill our dams! Hmmm..... yet, the islands are still there, snow still falls, and every rain event and drought is caused by climate change. And here I thought that "weather" is not "climate". Guess I wuzz wrong.
I live less than ten miles from the gulf of Mexico in a city outside Houston Texas.. We've had a few big hurricanes and such but the most I've seen was maybe two feet of standing water in my yard.. Which is a decent amount but it was ocean accompanied with heavy rain pour.. Otherwise this beach and galvaston beach has been relatively unchanged for even as long as my grandparents remember.. Galveston been wiped out from Hurricane winds before but it doesn't happen often
@@tim1843what's even crazier is when I lived in iowa there was a flood in 2008 from the river next to my place and that was more devastating water wise than anything I've ever seen living on the ocean.. There was 20 feet of water with the whole downtown under water.. All from heavy rain over flowing a river lol. The ocean is so massive it has a larger area to distribute most of the worst
This is what happens when someone who does not have much of a background in science tries to do a science video. Nodal alignments happen twice a year every year. The 18.6 year cycle only changes when in the year they occur. Scientists are not worried about the 18.6 year nodal cycle as it has almost no effect on the height of the tides.
I wonder what this guy sounds like when he´s not speaking in his adorned speech style. At first, it is charming, after some time, once you´ve gotten used it, it becomes obnoxious. eerily so.
The Netherlands is not really a good example of working with nature, but of overcoming and reclaiming it, with eventual consequences as sea levels rise.
Please look up examples as 'Zandmotor' / Sand Motor in The Netherlands. Which is a clear example of engineering working with nature to more create land. They even have a video here on YT called: Sand Motor - 10 years of Building with Nature .
Yes, and also due to drought (less riverwater keeping the sea out of the estuary) and with the land behind the dunes sinking or just being lower then, salt water infiltrates under the dunes into the groundwater behind it leading to salination. Tech only does so much. Yes it was a smart(ish) thing to do after the horror night in 1953 that flooded the southern coastal islands, but there are limits to how high they can be build. And the experts are already warning/worried about that height being reached.
@@hillockfarm8404 Lessons have been learned, and keep being learned. Nowadays, water-management in the Netherlands is targeting these issues by leaving more room for natural flooding of previously reclaimed areas. Indeed, the polders tend to sink, increasing the height difference between them and sea level. By allowing water to follow its more natural ways, these effects can be partly compensated. There are now ideas about abandoning large areas and moving population to other areas that are less problematic. The polders of the Netherlands were a great achievement some centuries ago, when population density was still modest and the risk of floods less intensive. But things have changed since then.
Very interesting. Most of my family live in a coastal community just a couple of blocks from the beach. There were floods back in 2015 but they were not devastating. I wonder how big they will be in the 2030s
Our moon effects life and weather on Earth. Wouldn’t a moon sized “Death Star” entering a planet’s orbit, also cause natural disasters? I always wondered why Lucas never showed the tides going crazy. When the “Death Star” entered the orbits of planets, it targeted
NOAA sea levels at Fort Dension Sydney (where I live) show a .8mm/year increase over the last hundred and thirty years of records. The graph is quite straight on average and the Australian east coast is relatively stable ( please show me otherwise if I'm wrong) so that seems a long way from your graph of 3.3mm/year. Can you explain the difference?
There are lots of ancient locations under water. Could it just be the way our world works? Better just to fear monger climate chnage rather than inevitable change.
I would say the video is a bit dramatic. True, if the Sun and Moon line up perfectly, their forces will more effectively combine, but the Moon is at most 5 degrees "above" or "below" the Sun, so their forces still add up (the cosine of 5 degrees is still pretty much 1), so I don't see how this is going to make much of a difference. Tides are more neatly explained by differences in gravitational acceleration. The "front" of the Earth falls a bit faster towards the Moon and the "back" of the Earth a little slower, which causes the two tidal bulges. This tidal bulge is quite small and only becomes significant near the shore, where the tidal wave gets slowed down. Finally, a polder is not necessarily an area below sea level. It's an area in which the water level is regulated. Apart from having to protect these low-lying areas from the sea or a river, water has to be actively pumped out, as it cannot naturally drain into the sea.
In 1912's northern hemisphere spring, an extreme lunar perigee coincided with high tide in the North Atlantic. There is an hypothesis that this effect brought more icebergs into the northwest Atlantic ocean, which caused problems for shipping routes ...
@RideAcrossTheRiver okay sure, then, what else did it affect? Were there more incidents of maritime disasters or close-calls in that period? What about the other cycles before and after it? I find it a case of humans trying to fit tragedy into nature/science, seems too good to be true
@@arionthedeer7372 "Were there more incidents of maritime disasters or close-calls in that period? " Yes, the entire fuckirg North Atlantic. "What about the other cycles before and after it" Lunar PERIGEE. Look up the word.
I have a hard time believing that a 0.4% difference (that's the difference in cosine of 5°) has such a big influence. I'd wager a guess that overlap of weather events have much larger influence.
Tides are a fact of life and are affected by wind direction, local land formations, local weather, atmospheric pressure and the distance that the moon happens to be from the earth at any particular time. If all the factors line up in an unfortunate manner then coastal regions will suffer flooding no matter what levels of sea defences exist. This is why we have once in a century or once in a millennium weather or tide events. They will happen eventually, it is just not economic to take measures to mitigate against them. Like living on the flanks of a volcano, the crops are excellent and the living very good in between the eruptions, which serve to re fertilise the soil. Floods reshape the shoreline and generally clean up habitats and improve local fish stocks and wildlife in the long term.

Just found the channel. Always been interested in the different cycles out planet goes thru and by extension the moon and sun. Learned a lot thanks dude
It’s a common repeating natural cycle that may or may not even be noticeable from king tides. Standard costal flood protection and warnings should be adequate.
I am afraid that we will do almost nothing to prevent negative impact of the Moon node cycle. Money is tight everywhere and thus there is always a big resistance to spent it for long term programmes. There are always more immediately pressing holes with more influence on electors' behaviour.
Look at Bangladesh' coastal areas on Google Earth. Much of their mangrove forest have been cut down to clear farmland all the way to the coast in some river deltas and it doesn't take a Typhoon to flood the coastal areas for long distances any more. It is local climate change that has nothing to do with temperatures, a simple tropical storm floods and people live on stilts. It hasn't happened for a while, but a big typhoon will destroy hundreds kilometers up the rivers because the mangroves are gone.
We have to do something. We have to DOOOO something! WE HAVE TO DOOOOOOOOOOO SOMETHING!!!!! Think of the children. We need to send the astronauts up to the moon and point it in a better direction.
This was dissapointing. The basic info about the cycle was well done but the fear mongering is just a turn off. Just as with the last cycle, concurrent abnormal storms or hurricanes can compound the effect, but the general effect itself is not of major concern.
@@hissingsidll750 I know lol, these weather patterns were happening millions of years before human existance, people claiming we are making these changes happen are insane.
@@matheussanthiago9685 Literal climate change scientists talk about massive co2 increases before humans were even on this planet. You should be better.
I really need to thank you. In fact it is clear to me you're fighting disinformation in regards to climate change propaganda and you do so very professionally and explaining clearly why each natural catastrophe is not caused by human activity and we, as a species, are not in control of the environment.
The 19-year cycle is known and the weather forecasters regularly predict 'Astrononomicly High" tides when the Moon's & Sun's influence are at their combined peak. these are not - as you assert - 'unexpected.' In fact, they are indeed predicted and expected.
The Surfing will be Awesome 😎 Earth has seen this before during the Eemian Interglacial Period 115-135,000 years ago. Sea Levels were 20-30 ft higher and temps were 4-8F higher. Thanks for the plot to the next Climate Cult Disaster movie. 🍿

Some folk are adversly affected by periodic insanity dependent on the changes of the moon. "Loonies" The British Parliament building in Westminster Houses lots of these people.
this sounds all good and nice, a fun time for all, but why are those yelling climate change buying ocean front property? there is a disconnect between the good times of flooding and death you describe and the poverty of not getting insurance for damages for the land bought on the coast. i'm not seeing it.
I love how every video about the future is “yeah, between sun storms, super volcanoes, global warming, pole reversal, the moon, the solar system traveling through space, etc. we are all F*CKED!” 😂
Disappointing. Starts talking about tidal flooding and then jumps to flash floods from rainfall. What exactly is the connection between these? We don't find out because Alex launches into a press release from NASa 🙁
ChatGPT 4 summary of the video: The RUclips video discusses the Lunar Nodal Cycle and its significant impact on Earth, particularly in relation to flooding. The Lunar Nodal Cycle is an 18.6-year cycle during which the moon's orbit undergoes a subtle revolution, affecting the alignment of the moon and the sun and causing higher tides. Key points from the video include: 1. **Lunar Nodal Cycle:** Every 18.6 years, the moon's orbit shifts, impacting its alignment with the Earth and Sun. This cycle affects the tides on Earth, with the crossover points of the moon's orbit (ascending and descending nodes) playing a crucial role. 2. **Tidal Impact:** The moon's gravity causes high tides on Earth. When the moon and sun align, especially during lunar nodes, the tides are significantly higher, leading to an increased risk of flooding. 3. **Previous Flooding Events:** The last significant alignment in September 2015 led to major flood warnings and subsequent flooding in the UK and US, causing substantial damage. 4. **Concern for Mid-2030s:** NASA scientists are particularly concerned about the next alignment in the mid-2030s. Climate change has caused rising sea levels, which, combined with the lunar nodal cycle, could lead to more severe flooding than in previous cycles. 5. **Impact on Ecosystems and Human Life:** Flooding affects ecosystems, such as salt marshes, and human communities, leading to property damage, health risks, and economic challenges. Some ecosystems, like mangroves, benefit from the lunar cycle, aiding in carbon absorption and coastline protection. 6. **Adaptation and Solutions:** The video suggests solutions like preserving mangroves for flood protection and learning from countries like the Netherlands, which have developed infrastructure to manage water levels and protect against flooding. The overarching message is that while the moon's influence can be destructive, understanding and planning for these natural cycles can help mitigate their impact. The video emphasizes the need for human adaptation and innovation in response to these predictable yet challenging natural events.
I am growing increasing tired of the mention of "climate change" as an aggravating factor in whatever you are talking about with out you stating whether you think this is human caused "climate change" or not. I don't really care which way you believe. I do think you should state clearly your belief on the subject whenever you mention it in a video.
Exactly, for ecosystems adapted it won’t be a problem at all and in fact I’m certain our ancestors were also accustomed to these cycles as they were animals apart of an ecosystem as well. Human caused problems are really all the problems we currently face. Humanity is very problematic and pathetic
"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
It is not really lunar nodal cycle per se which is simply an ambiguous reference, instead it is MAJOR and MINOR Lunar standstills that cause increase in oceanic tidal force, the latter that is Minor Lunar Standstill's impact more so than the former's impact, causing major tidal force, last was in 2015 and next will be in 2034. The Sun and Moon align with nodes twice a year i.e during the biannual eclipse season which doesn't cause notable flooding simply because they are not lunar standstills per se. The physics involved is more than just nodes aligning with Sun and Moon. Also there are 24 spring tides a year, not 8 to 10.
Plant mangroves in costal cities near the shore, then build flood walls behind them. The trees will make it more viable to build walls since the walls won't need to be as big. Hire locals to manage the trees and build the walls when possible and boost the economy of coastal cities at the same time.
Aren’t all these problems caused by carbon dioxide? Who let the moon and sun and solar impacts influence our weather? It certainly wasn’t the IPCC, they don’t see any influence on climate change by any of this, they’re certainly not factored into their modelling. 😂😂

The way it’s portrayed in the media is as if it’s risen 10 meters which greatly affects their credibility in my eyes. They try and panic everybody and that’s just nonsense. If you do a deep study you’ll see that technically we’re in an ice age compared to the last billion years. It goes up and down quite a bit and we’re barely on the upswing. I believe the climate is changing but it’s a natural cycle and man has very little impact on the temperature change. The Bible clearly states that the sun will burn mans skin in the last days but they will not repent. Instead they try and make everyone struggle to be carbon free.

Florida isn't flooding because of " climate change ". It's flooding because the land is literally sinking.
Also, mangroves serve as a nursery 75% of game fish. Florida needs mangroves to keep brining in the tourism dollars from game fishing.
Definitely! We need more mangrove forests to mitigate a lot of climate change! ❤️🌴🏝

Hello Wayne, waxing eloquent for the hairy legged?
I'm something of a moon enthusiast
I think one of the main reasons for the South Carolina floods was the absolute firehose of rain coming in from the Atlantic. The rising levels in Lake Murray required all six floodgates on the dam to be opened to avoid an overflow; the increase in water flow broke 2 more dams further down the Saluda River. (The area near where I live was under 7 feet of water). This begs the question, is the actual weather affected by the nodal cycles or just the tides? Most people think the floods were just part of a particularly unusual weather event.
The sun and moon do create tides in the atmosphere, but I don't know how much that would effect the weather.
Exactly. Poor video 👎
@@FLPhotoCatchermakes the troposphere thicker, much more atmosphere in the tropical troposphere so the Greenhouse effect is amplified. That's why so much global warming is present at the equator and so little affects the poles. The poles don't get much greenhouse effect at all.

@@XtopherBrysonThey are buying up that land line crazy. And it's really ready to know when expensive properties go on sale.
That started more than 15years ago in Florida, and about the early 2010s in other lowlying eastern states. Search for "not insurable" on private home listings, because at high tide those "buildings" main floor is under at least 6inches of water. The homeowners technically can't sell them directly, as they have zero value due to zero home *and fire department* coverage!
BUT... Florida's governor has given them special dispensation in every yearly budget since 2002. , They have outright refused to rightly declare those entire sub-divisions as condemned, because it would overwhelmingly hurt +55 year old voters! Effectively erasing ~3 Billion USD in mostly leveraged, and/or income generating, assets! That would instantly trigger every bank and private insurance (& re-insurers) to reassess all the coastal properties for the same Climate Change caused loss of value.

The water is trying to fling off into space due to its somewhat linear momentum in a lower gravitational position. Spinning is an effect that increases towards the equator and has nothing to do with affecting lunar tides. If the Earth weren't spinning you would still get the same tidal effect. The spin effect is completely separate.
This guy (Astrum) indeed doesn't have a clue.
I just looked at the NOAA Tide tables predictions for Puget Sound in year 2034 and didn't see any appreciable difference in that year to any other year.
Because if they acknowledge the lunar nodal cycle, they can't blame the subsequent flooding on "climate change" and bilk the public for billions of $$$$

Some minor corrections: Spring tides occur every two weeks so there are about 25 per year rather than 6-8. The tidal force from the sun is almost exactly half that of the moon, not a third as much.
4:40 Spring tides happen twice a lunar month "not 6 to 8 times a year". I think you might mean "king tides" in this instance.

As a Brit living now in Australia I can tell you that the term ‘king tide’ isn’t used in the UK. The first I ever heard of it was when I moved here 8 years ago. This might explain the confusion because Brits call King Tides Spring Tides.
I'm not so sure climate change is going to cause so much sea level rise to makes this worse than normal. 20 years ago they said Miami would be under water 10 years ago and the ocean is still no where any kind of description of NEAR putting south Florida in the under water. I have a feeling some high tides will truly be the least of anyone's problems in 2034.
The sea levels have been rising slowly since the end of the ice age because we are in an inter-glacial period. When they tell you that you have to stop eating beef and driving a car to try to 'stop' this, it's a scam to push billions back into poverty and under authoritarianism.
Diego Garcia is barely above sea level. Has been for centuries and it’s still here.
All predictions are based on our collected data, scientific research of influencing factors (water temperature for example).
Our whole planet is a system of greater or smaller dependencies in a factor (water temperature) and between different factors (water and air temperature interacting).
Now think for a moment, how badly our network for data collection is. In the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan.... nice. North and South Pole, South America... Africa, Central Asia, pacific islands.... in the water, at different depth levels....
Our big headache, if certain factors become bigger then we expected because of this inconsistent data or influencing other factors more then we expected.
We know for example, an cooling of the gulf stream system could bring an ice age to Europe rather quickly. Would be bad for Europe and the global economy. A huge amount of ice covered area would reflect more sunlight, having an cooling effect...

@@kellydalstok8900bizarre how you display your hate for men on this topic. Who's your daddy?
Many of these cities were developed centuries ago and are simply built upon areas in which are susceptible to weather events. Extremely minor changes like (a few centimeters) of a rising water level, which is otherwise so minimal as to be within the margin of error of instrument readings, can affect cities already susceptible to these events without any change in water level. Cities not so sensitive to such small changes will see no perceptible change in effects. Example: Hurricanes can mess you up something severe no matter how well designed. The Netherlands proves to us how little that effect can have even on a below sea level country if designed in a good way. Mangroves are a great idea, specifically for the US coastal cities in the south.
New Orleans is famously well below the sea water level so it's just not a good example of anything related to changes in weather patterns. I would be concerned if cities otherwise unaffected, start to feel effects. This is what would concern me.
@@Knight_Kin The Netherlands do not have to face hurricanes. Winter storms are frequent, but mostly moderate enough as not to harm coastal infrastructure. Devastating storms are the exception there. The modern dikes were designed to withstand even them, but the actual threat is less obvious.
The Netherlands are a river delta country at the North Sea, where sea and rivers meet. That favored human settlements to use the sea and rivers for transport and commerce. In order to feed the people, the land had to be agriculturally used. That posed a problem, as the fertile areas were partly drowned. Hence the polders.
These polders tend to sink, as the soil becomes more dense. Water-management nowadays tries to mitigate the issues by allowing natural water to reclaim areas, which even can deposit more soil than previously existed there. These areas cannot be used for human habitat anymore, so plans need to be conceived on how to offer a growing population the means to settle.
Mangroves were recommended to be planted in a coast of a local government in the Philippines.
The officials approved the reclamation thereat instead and the building of shopping malls.
They were going to build shopping malls in the ocean?
@@Knight_Kin they expanded the seashore by putting lots of soil. I don't know how they did it but it happened and now a shopping mall was built.
@@Knight_Kin Shopping malls in the ocean sound sweet actually.
Hi! I'm a uni student who's currently in a restoration ecology class. I'm going to strongly disagree with your point about the Netherlands. Those pump and levee systems are rather fragile, because they need really high levees in order to keep the water out, and constant maintenance to keep them functioning. Where these systems are built, they destroy native habitat that is just as much of a carbon sink as the mangroves you mentioned. They also prevent silt deposition to the coastline from the channelized rivers, which makes the coastline more vulnerable to erosion. It is not a long term solution, as ocean water levels will continue to rise and more money will be needed to put together even more aggressive pump/levee systems. A better "working with nature" approach would be to put everything on stilts, and not completely destroy the habitat that everything is built on. That isn't particularly appealing or functional for our current way of life, so the real best alternative is to move away from the coastlines and onto higher ground.
Another interesting facet of orbital dynamics! Thanks!
I was slightly disappointed with the simplified and erroneous tidal forces explanation for the two bulges caused by tidal effects of the Moon and Sun. The reason for the bulge on the opposing side from the Moon or Sun is not due to centrifugal forces of the spinning Earth. (If this were the case we'd truly be screwed!) The distance differential and thus gravitational forces on the distant side of an orbiting object is less and thus a spherical object will flatten.
You are correct, I felt the same disappointment as you. The effects of gravity are exponetial, the opposite side is accelerating much less towards the moon, the tides on the other side of Earth are the result of the water lagging behind. The Earth is solid and moves as one, but the oceans can flow, and thus they can lag behind, ironically causing high tides on the opposite side of the moon...
So what great natural catastrophes happened in 2015 and 1996?
The stuff about the Moon and its impact on Earth is really cool, especially the Lunar Nodal Cycle. I never realized how much the Moon, Earth, and Sun work together to create big tides and even floods. It’s like everything in space is connected in this delicate way, and what happens way out there actually affects us here. It’s pretty wild to think about!

@@EatonShitsonseems you forgot to learn basic human decency.
@@EatonShitson let me dive deeper into that high school flashback for you! So, picture this: I'm sitting in my high school science class, and the teacher starts talking about the Moon, tides, and all that jazz. At first, I'm like, "Okay, the Moon makes the tides go in and out, got it." But then, the more we get into it, the more I realize there's a whole cosmic soap opera happening above our heads.
I mean, come on, the Moon, Earth, and the Sun are basically the ultimate celestial trio. The Moon's gravitational pull is like this cosmic magnet, and it's tugging on our oceans, creating these massive tidal movements. It's like the Moon is saying, "Hey, Earth, I see you, and I'm going to make your oceans dance."
But then, they drop the bombshell about the Lunar Nodal Cycle. Now, that's where things get seriously mind-boggling. It's not just about tides; it's about how the Moon's orbit changes over time, and it messes with those tides even more. It's like the Moon is playing this long-term game of cosmic tug-of-war with our oceans, and we're just along for the ride.
Sure, some might say, "Oh, we learned this in high school, what's the big deal?" But here's the thing - it's one thing to learn it as a fact, and it's another to really grasp the idea that everything in space is connected. It's like this delicate cosmic ballet where one move by the Moon can lead to big tides, and in some cases, even floods right here on Earth.
So, yeah, maybe we covered this in high school, but every time I think about it, I'm reminded of how awe-inspiring the universe is and how even the seemingly distant stuff happening up there can have a real impact on our lives down here. It's like a never-ending cosmic show, and I'm here for it!
Not just those three, but the entire Solar system. Sol, of course has the lion share, but even far planets like Saturn have an effect on Terra.

mate i've lived by the beach for thirty odd years and haven't seen anything to suggest sea level rise is happening.
Every 10 years we're doomed! All the islands will be gone! No snow! No rain to fill our dams! Hmmm..... yet, the islands are still there, snow still falls, and every rain event and drought is caused by climate change. And here I thought that "weather" is not "climate". Guess I wuzz wrong.
I live less than ten miles from the gulf of Mexico in a city outside Houston Texas.. We've had a few big hurricanes and such but the most I've seen was maybe two feet of standing water in my yard.. Which is a decent amount but it was ocean accompanied with heavy rain pour.. Otherwise this beach and galvaston beach has been relatively unchanged for even as long as my grandparents remember.. Galveston been wiped out from Hurricane winds before but it doesn't happen often
@@tim1843what's even crazier is when I lived in iowa there was a flood in 2008 from the river next to my place and that was more devastating water wise than anything I've ever seen living on the ocean.. There was 20 feet of water with the whole downtown under water.. All from heavy rain over flowing a river lol. The ocean is so massive it has a larger area to distribute most of the worst
Your thinking on a very short time scale.
This is what happens when someone who does not have much of a background in science tries to do a science video. Nodal alignments happen twice a year every year. The 18.6 year cycle only changes when in the year they occur. Scientists are not worried about the 18.6 year nodal cycle as it has almost no effect on the height of the tides.
That sponsorship transition was genius
I wonder what this guy sounds like when he´s not speaking in his adorned speech style. At first, it is charming, after some time, once you´ve gotten used it, it becomes obnoxious. eerily so.
The Netherlands is not really a good example of working with nature, but of overcoming and reclaiming it, with eventual consequences as sea levels rise.
Please look up examples as 'Zandmotor' / Sand Motor in The Netherlands. Which is a clear example of engineering working with nature to more create land. They even have a video here on YT called: Sand Motor - 10 years of Building with Nature .
Yes, and also due to drought (less riverwater keeping the sea out of the estuary) and with the land behind the dunes sinking or just being lower then, salt water infiltrates under the dunes into the groundwater behind it leading to salination. Tech only does so much. Yes it was a smart(ish) thing to do after the horror night in 1953 that flooded the southern coastal islands, but there are limits to how high they can be build. And the experts are already warning/worried about that height being reached.
Sea levels rising…?🤔
@@DrRock2009Global warming
@@hillockfarm8404 Lessons have been learned, and keep being learned. Nowadays, water-management in the Netherlands is targeting these issues by leaving more room for natural flooding of previously reclaimed areas. Indeed, the polders tend to sink, increasing the height difference between them and sea level. By allowing water to follow its more natural ways, these effects can be partly compensated. There are now ideas about abandoning large areas and moving population to other areas that are less problematic.
The polders of the Netherlands were a great achievement some centuries ago, when population density was still modest and the risk of floods less intensive. But things have changed since then.
Very interesting. Most of my family live in a coastal community just a couple of blocks from the beach. There were floods back in 2015 but they were not devastating. I wonder how big they will be in the 2030s

Good evening everyone!
Kyogre is slowly winning.
I would say the video is a bit dramatic. True, if the Sun and Moon line up perfectly, their forces will more effectively combine, but the Moon is at most 5 degrees "above" or "below" the Sun, so their forces still add up (the cosine of 5 degrees is still pretty much 1), so I don't see how this is going to make much of a difference. Tides are more neatly explained by differences in gravitational acceleration. The "front" of the Earth falls a bit faster towards the Moon and the "back" of the Earth a little slower, which causes the two tidal bulges. This tidal bulge is quite small and only becomes significant near the shore, where the tidal wave gets slowed down. Finally, a polder is not necessarily an area below sea level. It's an area in which the water level is regulated. Apart from having to protect these low-lying areas from the sea or a river, water has to be actively pumped out, as it cannot naturally drain into the sea.

Great video. Please note that we have two spring tides per month, not one. New moon and full moon. Same is true for neap tides.
I have a hard time believing that a 0.4% difference (that's the difference in cosine of 5°) has such a big influence. I'd wager a guess that overlap of weather events have much larger influence.
Tides are a fact of life and are affected by wind direction, local land formations, local weather, atmospheric pressure and the distance that the moon happens to be from the earth at any particular time. If all the factors line up in an unfortunate manner then coastal regions will suffer flooding no matter what levels of sea defences exist. This is why we have once in a century or once in a millennium weather or tide events. They will happen eventually, it is just not economic to take measures to mitigate against them. Like living on the flanks of a volcano, the crops are excellent and the living very good in between the eruptions, which serve to re fertilise the soil. Floods reshape the shoreline and generally clean up habitats and improve local fish stocks and wildlife in the long term.

It’s a common repeating natural cycle that may or may not even be noticeable from king tides. Standard costal flood protection and warnings should be adequate.

Money is not tight in the US, although some politicians would like Americans to believe that.
Well, with the wars being funded and everything, it's understandable that funds are tight for protecting the actual citizens 🤷♀️
No wars = plenty of money available!
Look at Bangladesh' coastal areas on Google Earth. Much of their mangrove forest have been cut down to clear farmland all the way to the coast in some river deltas and it doesn't take a Typhoon to flood the coastal areas for long distances any more. It is local climate change that has nothing to do with temperatures, a simple tropical storm floods and people live on stilts. It hasn't happened for a while, but a big typhoon will destroy hundreds kilometers up the rivers because the mangroves are gone.

1. **Lunar Nodal Cycle:** Every 18.6 years, the moon's orbit shifts, impacting its alignment with the Earth and Sun. This cycle affects the tides on Earth, with the crossover points of the moon's orbit (ascending and descending nodes) playing a crucial role.
2. **Tidal Impact:** The moon's gravity causes high tides on Earth. When the moon and sun align, especially during lunar nodes, the tides are significantly higher, leading to an increased risk of flooding.
3. **Previous Flooding Events:** The last significant alignment in September 2015 led to major flood warnings and subsequent flooding in the UK and US, causing substantial damage.
4. **Concern for Mid-2030s:** NASA scientists are particularly concerned about the next alignment in the mid-2030s. Climate change has caused rising sea levels, which, combined with the lunar nodal cycle, could lead to more severe flooding than in previous cycles.
5. **Impact on Ecosystems and Human Life:** Flooding affects ecosystems, such as salt marshes, and human communities, leading to property damage, health risks, and economic challenges. Some ecosystems, like mangroves, benefit from the lunar cycle, aiding in carbon absorption and coastline protection.
6. **Adaptation and Solutions:** The video suggests solutions like preserving mangroves for flood protection and learning from countries like the Netherlands, which have developed infrastructure to manage water levels and protect against flooding.
The overarching message is that while the moon's influence can be destructive, understanding and planning for these natural cycles can help mitigate their impact. The video emphasizes the need for human adaptation and innovation in response to these predictable yet challenging natural events.
I am growing increasing tired of the mention of "climate change" as an aggravating factor in whatever you are talking about with out you stating whether you think this is human caused "climate change" or not. I don't really care which way you believe. I do think you should state clearly your belief on the subject whenever you mention it in a video.
Yeah, let’s just all ignore it. Après nous le déluge.
@@kellydalstok8900 So, do you think humans are to blame or not?
Exactly, for ecosystems adapted it won’t be a problem at all and in fact I’m certain our ancestors were also accustomed to these cycles as they were animals apart of an ecosystem as well. Human caused problems are really all the problems we currently face. Humanity is very problematic and pathetic
I’m sure the climate activists will consider this effect is because of diesel trucks or back yard fires or something stupid.
Thanks for the video brother Alex
"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Shhhh - We aren't supposed that talk about that.
It is not really lunar nodal cycle per se which is simply an ambiguous reference, instead it is MAJOR and MINOR Lunar standstills that cause increase in oceanic tidal force, the latter that is Minor Lunar Standstill's impact more so than the former's impact, causing major tidal force, last was in 2015 and next will be in 2034.
The Sun and Moon align with nodes twice a year i.e during the biannual eclipse season which doesn't cause notable flooding simply because they are not lunar standstills per se. The physics involved is more than just nodes aligning with Sun and Moon.
Also there are 24 spring tides a year, not 8 to 10.
Excellent video. My only comment is that the sea levels are not rising, certainly not in the CM range.
Plant mangroves in costal cities near the shore, then build flood walls behind them. The trees will make it more viable to build walls since the walls won't need to be as big. Hire locals to manage the trees and build the walls when possible and boost the economy of coastal cities at the same time.
The youtube definition of climate change grinds my gears.
Simply sounds like another way Earth has it's natural selection... Been doing it for billions of years.
Nothing happened in 2015, so... clickbait?
2015 +19 =2034, it's a 19 year cycle so if you can't add please just don't talk
lol @tinav8782 slapping an obnoxious moron with a handful of facts and truth
Apparently, orbital variation, is now man made from burning fossil fuels. What a joke.
The ice caps were supposed to melt in 2011. I’ll take this prediction with a grain of salt 😅
the most epic intro ive ever seen, very first word... "Hamood"
Aren’t all these problems caused by carbon dioxide? Who let the moon and sun and solar impacts influence our weather? It certainly wasn’t the IPCC, they don’t see any influence on climate change by any of this, they’re certainly not factored into their modelling. 😂😂
Beautiful video! Lots of great visuals, and thank you for bringing this to us
Alex you have such a soothing voice, I love watching these videos as I go to sleep.
