Ever since the waters flooded the valleys around the UK seperating us from Europe and Ireland our coast line has been eroding
everyone knows the force of erosion, the had the privilegue at least living there for generations. period.
Technically, you are not wrong.
We spend 7 mil a day for illegal migration but we don’t have 20 mil to protect our coasts from erosion
Yep when it comes to helping there own people British government couldn't give a toss when comes to helping foreigner's they can't get there hands deep enough into there pockets disgusting individuals
we are simply not able to keep our shores safe....
What do you want to do about illegal immigration?
The politicians get too Much money from the eu to say no…
@@markawilliams4829 Stop it.
This is normal erosion that’s been happening for thousands of years. The silt washes up and creates new beaches tens miles away.
All can ba saved but the government would rather waste it on boat spongers and armaments to Ukraine.
😢😢I used to live in south west of France and we lost 30 meters of the coastline at certain points !! The forest was washed into the sea!
me too - no taxpayer's money steppt in. everyone knows the power of erosion
In how much time? Genuine question
2:50 Offered 40% of the value of the property. Does that mean she would have to take out a morgage to get a similar property in the neighbourhood??
I live in a coastal town which has a main railway line passing right along the coast on a large embankment. They have had to keep adding large boulders every year as the embankment is getting battered each winter.
as long as the rich are alright, so what? ;)
That's it, you got the nail on the head 🏆 🔨
I know a little about the coast of East Anglia because I have worked on the geology of the area, but I know slightly more about Romney Marsh, that a friend of mine was studying aspects of during the time I was working in that area. She ended one of her reports by writing that our current coastlines will become increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain, and painful decisions will need to be taken. That was before we were aware of just how quickly the rate of sea level rise is accelerating due to climate change. We have learned much about improving sea defence during my lifetime, but no matter how much money is spent on maintaining our current coastlines, many parts of the east and south coasts will be lost during this century, and some British people will become climate refugees, like those arriving here from other parts of the world today.
Climate change is just a huge problem for all the world... The human kind has contributed a lot to the speed that.. I feel sad and shame in the same time...
Much of Holland is below sea level. How come they can afford to maintain their coastline ?
If sea level is rising why has the Maldives just spent 280 million dollars on an airport at sea level.
Since records began how much has sea levels risen?
Could farage and Johnson visit and reassure the people that nothing will be done .
Johnson visited South Yorkshire after rivers which the government "couldn't afford" to clear and dredge (presumably because the Westminster branch of the Cosy Cronyism Club couldn't afford yet another holiday home in the Caribbean or a second space rocket for casual days out) flooded vast areas of many towns, villages and valuable farmland, rendering it useless for decades. He wandered around aimlessly, achieving absolutely nothing as always. Eventually he was told firmly to go away permanently since he wasn't doing anything or willing to do anything worth doing because human lives essentially don't matter to Tories. If we want a worthwhile society thar actually cares about himan beings, our only option is a socialist government.
Erosion whether,coastal or inland will always be the norm - man will never holt it!!!
Wouldn’t you think with all the profits made from these big corporations they should be made to pay for all the defences around Britain. After all government spending on the public sector should have been doing more to protect our country.
I agree although the UK turn a blind eye to farmers who are polluting rivers so it seems the UK government don't really care about protecting the UK and it's environment.
The government would sooner send money aboard and on immigration then on our coastline.
The UK coastline isn't disappearing....it just cant be seen for all the migrants that are swamping it...
One of the visual beauties of the natural world is the coastline of UK, It's just so mezmerizing, tranquil and apparently growing/expanding!
She lives!! : )
You must be blind.
The UK is one of the ugliest countries in the world.
If the government threw our foreign aid budget into this,or the Ukraine budget,maybe the immigration budget,that would make a big difference,but they won’t.
I was looking at south ice caps not long ago on google maps,About more 3,000 miles of ice at the south pole,It getting very slushy,Melting fast,hate to think for the future get further flooding,About time to build walls around the edges of coast lines,Not only it save more land from caving in to seas,Also create more Jobs as well
We can't afford to lose land we are a small country,not only that you are talking about people and their homes.
been has been happening around the Norfolk coast for the last 20 odd years,Any one lives near the coast when coast collapsing in to Sea,Best to move out,Get your old home knocked down,Or end up facing something worse,Something got to be done,Or end up loosing land in the near future as ice caps melt while sea levels rising,I heard the UK more likely be under sea by the time the ice caps melted away
Dubai tried artificial islands and affected coastlines beyond there development. An upside to some reclamation was by using concrete spike barriers it reduced the wave impact and also created habitats for sea life. As an Island nation I would have thought retaining and even reclaiming coastline would be a high priority, China has also reclaimed coastline for airports etc although the quality could be better I hear.
What a crying shame
How can the coastline be disappearing? As the coastline erodes so it appears a slightly different place.. Successive recent governments have neglected the sea defences and deliberately allowing nature to take its course just as they are doing with farmland . Ever heard of set aside?
In Germany there are sea defences along the complete north sea coast. Also in the netherlands.
Dredging only speeds up erosion and is literally a waste of time and money. The inability to research this before publishing this as some sort of miracle cure is a joke. Good work ........
The Dutch and Netherlands manage there coastline well. With humungus defences so more land is available for planting . But the EU want farms closed to allow the sea to take over again. Hence so much protest from the farmers there.
The KING of England has lots of money, billions i believe. Maybe he could give the money. After all it is his country isnt it? 😂
Nobody has enough money to stop the erosion. No matter what you build the see gets it in the end.
Ask your beloved King for money he is so rich on your expence!
Skibidi
Serprised all thease years not put in place concrete pillers
Frank kirk why don't you use your spell checker.
Perhaps the authorities should research dolosse which is used successfully used to construct breakwaters in South Africa
Costal erosion is a natural occurrence, it has been happening for millennia, the UK was once connected to mainland Europe. Nothing can be done to stop it
our dutch friends can do it
The EU want them pulled down to let sea in...farmers there are fighting back. Someone said on here about it. Makes you wonder why..
The pub in Happisburgh is the scruffiest and dirty pub on the entire Norfolk coast. Trust me its bad - I guess even paying a cleaner is too much. Avoid is my advice.
How can a coastline disappear? Surely it can only move !
@3:15 "It's not very British retreating". I wonder did she ever hear of Dunkirk or the much more recent retreat from Afghanistan, which should not to be confused with the 1842 retreat from Kabul? To mention just three British retreats.
😂
I think you mean strategic withdrawals 😂
@@kingsmead646 Those retreats were the same as the 'strategic withdrawal' that that was made at very high speed by the Brit army from Burma (Myanmar) all the way through Malaya (Malaysia) until they arrived at Singapore and could not 'strategically withdraw' any further. They then, with nowhere left to run, surrendered to the Japanese and became their slaves (no doubt you will try to tell me that they were actually very well paid ex-pat employees of the Japanese) and spent the following five years building railways for them while surviving on starvation rations until the Yanks came and saved them. Just like they had to save the Brits from utter defeat in Europe. And the retreat in Afghanistan, the 2021 retreat that is, not to be mixed up with the 1842 one, is special, mirroring as it does yet another retreat by the Brit army. The Yanks were ran out of Afghanistan by the Taliban but the Brits were actually ran out by a civilian militia. Just like when they were ran out of South Africa after losing the 1st Boer War it was a bunch of farmers that ran the Brits out. And they say history never repeats itself!!!! P.S. There was very little 'strategic' about the panicking Brits at Kabul Airport unless you consider the smell of sewage from them strategic.
Moon, turn's the tides..... washing the land.... gently gently away.....
You cant stop the sea.
make the big company to have the responsible to contribution their income to help the local problem such as this sea erosion. instead calculating whether it is worth or not worth.
The magnificent Gold Coast in Australia is maintained by constantly pumping sand onto the beaches which is financed by the tourism industry.
As far as I know, TRT is an abbreviation of Turkish Radio-Television and is being funded by Turkish nationals.
It's a necessity to have Turkish subtitles. Lack of such a base service for your own people is a disgrace.
I don't blame these individuals for feeling bitter. I am sure that I would feel the same way if I were in their situation. That said, there will always be a limit to the resources available. Just as they do triage in an emergency room, the same principles apply here. Not every individual (or home/beach) can be saved. Even where they have spent a great deal of money on beach defence, they have not solved the core problem of rising seas. All they have done is bought themselves some time.
When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country
Millennium Prophecies were presented at MBS shows in the 90s, one of the prophecies received, "Stay away from the coastlines, they will be taken by the sea". The LORD has spoken.
They ought to get those people who built those man-made islands off the coast of Dubai to come over & sort it out.
Urgent
There once was a king called Canute.
we should of gone to green energy ages ago,Burning up carbon one of the worse things what causing the ice caps to melt,All amount of forests been cut down as well,not making it any better,Then again,Places like Australia where boiling hot weather and very dry,volcano near by,Only takes little bit hot spark to land on a dry forerst,Before you knows,The whole forests also go up in high flames,I was watching some of them documentarys on Freesat channel the other day as well,Other things going on in the world,Why the Ice caps are melting so fast and causing sea levels to rise
Pcfffffffffffffv@
All money given Qy in aid should be used here.
interesting
Ex council semi - I know it well worth £375K? You are having a laugh. £250k max if it was not about to be part of the North Sea.
She owns another house in the village and she wants further council help. Why?
My thoughts exactly
Its prime real estate to be by the water, but when this happens the poor need to make concessions to protect those homes? I think not.
Could this be caused by the huge amount of windfarms being installed out at sea?
Nope
Nope again
How about burying Christmas trees into the beach? I saw another video, where they do this every year. The end result
is that there are large sand dunes being created behind the trees. Can't this method be tried here??
coastline erosion is a natural process... you can slow it down but inevitably coasts will be eroded. Climate change is only speeding up the rate of erosion. It's also important to realise that economically it will be expensive to keep on building sea walls which are being eroded quicker and quicker due to climate change and as the coastal manager said, to build sea defences you have to consider the environmental impacts.... such as building coastal defences here might causes erosion further along the coast. That looked like a pretty small town surrounded by lots of fields, so it might be worthwhile letting it erode and for the government to spend money on protecting more built up and populated coastlines. Even the sea defence shell built will only last and estimated 15 years despite costing millions.
The method of saving the land before not to slide is scement structure but at least slighty inclined one \.( If the water is too rough of course). Hence even the concrite block won't work. The reality is bending with the nature. Bedding the big stone in wide slow sinking shore may work.
- peace be upon you by the name of god 'Allah'
Fossil fuels put out CO2 emissions, which warms the earth and water, making water expand, and causing ice to melt, raising seas, yet the climate crisis wasn't mentioned at all in this 26-minute video!
I’ve got an idea let’s give climate grifters some more money, they can spend it on all flying their private jets to a conference somewhere nice and demand some more of our money. Luckily there is a climate win in taking away the winter fuel allowance. Can’t have those pesky pensioners keeping warm and destroying the planet. Bloody grave dodgers
Thank God.
The other alternative is to leave the U.K.
