Florida is one giant sand bar. I think it's sinking. P.S. Quit building high rise motels 3 feet away from the ocean. Is the planning commission, out of mental commission?
@@SM-A405FN I note that the small town of Rye in East Sussex is now high and dry and perhaps a mile or more away from the sea. Over the last 500 years, the sea retreated and it remains that way. On google earth if you place the curser at the edge of the town where the sea level used to meet the former port, it looks to be about 1 to 2 metres above sea level. You'd think that if the sea was rising, Rye would be one of the first places to feel the effects but nup! Hasn't happened.
@@deanpd3402 I know and i dont think anyone has any evidence of ACTUAL sea level rise anywhere? There is also the fact that although one side of the north pole is melting , the other side has record snow fall , the UK should dredge all river's and maybe flooding can be kept to a minimum , it's also said that if sea level's rise , blackpool will become an island lol funny cos it's on the seaside?
And someday, Miami will be under 100's of meters of ice. The climate has always been changing. BTW, notice how many of these alarmist videos do not allow comments?
"Some parts of Florida have experienced as much as twelve inches of sea level rise" 2:20. And the other parts of Florida have not? No. Some parts of Florida are experiencing subsidence because of loading the ground with buildings and extracting water from the ground.
Didn't you know the ocean surface can be hilly just like the land. When all that river water collects in the oceans it builds big mounds that will eventually need to be scooped up and put back. Science is now even dumber than Rosie O'Donnell and that's a hard mark to achieve.
Those Miami Beach properties must be selling for pretty cheap - well, maybe not. Here is testimony from someone in the field... I was helping to fix a concrete boat dock with the seawall on Miami Beach in 1991, where we marked the low tide and the high tide. In 2017 there is not an inch difference. At that time in 1991 when we did the work they said that in a decade or two the water will reach above the dock....somehow it did not happen.
Seriously every time I hear "sea level rise" when a beach is loosing ground due to EROSION, which is the big issue in FL built on march using reclamation measures to be able to build on "solid" land. Where in other countries they have Stilt homes sitting in water and not sinking into the water.
Global measurements of tidal gauges are the only reliable global measurements. The Global average is 1mm/year since 1850 and not increasing. If you cannot read a graph then you will probably believe what you hear most often. It doesn't matter if you comprehend the science for a few seconds, scary news and videos will convince you that your fears are still valid. There are a thousand arguments that follow. Trending culture weighing in on politics and profit. Here's a tip: climate change has always been happening so look out for videos and news that includes historical references. For example, has this happened before and what causes it? By the way don't assume that CO2 is easy to measure. It's waaaaaaay complicated and only a few places on the planet are accepted as good locations. Up a volcano in Hawaii is the main one, at Mauna Loa. Even it's measurements have been reasonably criticized for excluding good data that doesn't fit the accepted pattern. Satellite measurements could do a very good job of measuring CO2 but places like EUMETSAT have the measurements but don't put out monthly global averages. So annoying. Ah well, like Otis Redding sang, "I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay..." except when there's a storm coming, which happens a lot in Florida.
crazy…. at 17yo I hiked the Glaciers in CO (now gone), lived in the CO mountains (before the fires), walked New Orleans (before it was decimated), took a sailboat down the FL keys (before it was physically destroyed by hurricane)… now at 40yo I am here watching cities wash away along the Missouri River and praying for you all along the coastlines In only 20 some years the US has lost so much from climate change :(
You build your house next to the ocean and you don't expect to get seawater on your driveway ? That's kind of like building your house in the mountains and expecting never to shovel
Have no fear florida, sea level rise will not be as drastic as feared. It turns out that people did the math on total ice in the polar regions and the effect they would have on the ocean's if they melted all at once. This would require air temperatures to rise, as that happens so too does it's ability to hold moisture. This is known as holding capacity and is why we use hot air to dry our clothes and hair. This warming of the air will cause it to hold more moisture, in effect putting a very large portion of meltwater into the air through increased ocean surface evaporation due to the warmer air working similarly to a hair dryer. This increase in air moiture levels will cause more snowfall to occour in the polar regions as well. Both of the natural phenomenon will combat drastic sea level rise.
Half the reason for flooding is that Local Authorities have over the last 30 years, alowed building of homes on land which has been recognized as FLOOD PLAINS for 100 years.
A Dutch scientist who was studying and teaching at Tulane in Louisiana spoke before congress warning of the dangers of storm flooding and sea level rise in New Orleans. The republicans laughed at him. Then a few years later Katrina happened.
We have countless photos of celebrities and buildings and cities from 20,30,50, even100 years ago. We can all see the change then and now in those photos. Where are the photos of sea levels historically compared with sea levels today? Why can't I find these photos anywhere? If I search Google Images I get graphs and documents and I get projected sea-level change photos. If This Were a real thing shouldn't these photos be a really easy way to prove it?
It seems to me after watching so many of these type of videos, that we are indeed going to face trillions of dollars of damage in lost real estate. Instead of frantically trying to think of ways to keep the water out, why not put that money towards learning how to live with the rising levels like they have in The Netherlands. I was watching a really interesting documentary about a company that makes homes and even office buildings that float, they can be tied to a fixed more, but one which can rise up or down with the ever changing the sea levels, and in worst case scenario is they can just move the structure somewhere else, as technically it’s a boat, although it looks like a regular house. I don’t know this person personally, it’s one of my friends friend, but this person lives on one of these new homes, and he sent me a whole bunch of pictures, and I was in shock! It looks exactly like every other home in the country, it’s got a car parked in the driveway, The beautiful landscaped front yard, and just looks like an average home, until you look a little closer and noticed there’s a small gap between the house and the land. They’ve engineer to concrete wall, that has middle peers driven into the ocean floor, and the house is attached to these peers by giant rings. The place literally has the concrete basement, but it’s a specialized concrete that’s much later and stronger than regular concrete. They guarantee that this structure will float, and never leak, for at least 100 years. The best part is it’s a lot cheaper than a regular home on land, and if you don’t like your neighbours you have to simply can’t catch your house from the peers and move it someplace else via tugboat. I was absolutely blown away at how beautiful and modern this house it is, I would never guess in 1 million years it’s an actual houseboat, but then I found a website that shows how they manufacture these homes and it’s absolutely incredible, and quick. They can build a house in Half the time it takes to build a regular house. They simply floated out of the dock, and tow it to its permanent mooring. I even saw a structure that looks like a good-sized office building, that was five stories high, and to my incredible surprise was actually floating. The Dutch are absolute geniuses, As they’ve had to fight off the seat their entire life, and they have become masters at it, we here in North America could learn a lot from them, so instead of fighting like hell to try to keep the water out, which is a losing battle anyways, why not start off a new, and copy the Netherlands example?
Because most of America is scared of change, and fears that which is different, or they make money off of how it is. Same as it always was, I suppose… I wish they did more for their citizens.
Yes I agree with you. My parents friends on The Boathouse at the Columbia River next to Portland. Obviously is connected by a floating dock I felt as a kid I was very comfortable there and yes I agree with you all the homes in Miami should be retrofitted to float on styrofoam. However that doesn't mean that there will be more and stay in place during a hurricane.
careful, soon intelligent statements will be called hate speak or heretic against the Climate Change Church of the New World Order. cheers, and well spotted.
@ It's the same down at Port Arthur in Tasmania. There were notches marked on the wharf for high tides and low tides and there has been no noticeable increases in sea level rises since the 1850s.
So they don't bring up the high level of dredging that's causing this also. Them pulling sand from the ocean floor in Miami to build high rises could be one of their biggest problems.
Earth's atmosphere has been cooling for the last 3 years,we are now entering the Eddy minimum,300-400 years of global cooling,the Guardian rag aren't allowed to tell the people the truth.
@@peterweissmann7794 No it hasn't. We've had the hottest years on record for the past 4 consecutive years. Can you climate science deniers at least stick to just fundamentally not understanding science, and refrain from just straight up making things up? This is just pathetic.
@@sh0werp0wer I have graphs made from NOAA's GHCN data in front of me. Maybe you climate alarmists might want to get educated instead of coming up with your trash science. Don't waste my time.
Decades ago in school geology it was stated that the tectonic plate under the miles high ice sheets was pushed down in the north and tipped up in the south, Florida, and as all that ice was gone that now the north is rising and the south is lowering back down....not sinking... So how can you say Florida is seeing sea rise rather than Florida sinking?? The sea level hasn't been rising anywhere else that follows your logic or measurements...???
Ha ya those sinking islands in the pacific. Ha ZERO dollars for the Floridians! Maybe you can tax each other to pay for saving Florida. I could care less.
anyone else hear "we're going to need tons of federal money (read tax dollars from the rest of the working class country) to bail out these ultra rich city's disastrous, reckless, building and development projects"? Bail out money just like the S&L crisis while mayors, developers, bankers and insurance companies take years of massive cash grabs knowing that building hi-rises on a limestone coastline isn't sustainable.
I live right by Atlantic City and it's been flooding during very bad rainstorms for decades. Not any noticable changes. Its not the bays or the beaches that flood it's the drains that case some streets to flood. But it's been like that.
We are not seeing sea levels rising in any significant ways. Land subsidence is a differnt bird. Look at the data from sea level measuremetns all over the world. Nothing is happening with actual sea level rise. Period.
+ Lydia L Pineault, sad that there are so many people who never hear the whole story from scientists who disagree with the Biggest Oil Rockefellers "climate change" scam. Oh, climate has changed, all right. It can't help but change. It has changed for 4.5 billion years. But the corrupt Big News and Big Science conflating "climate change" (the scientific term) with "dangerous, man made global warming" is dishonest at best. We live in an Ice Age. Seas have risen 400+ feet in the last 20,000 years, and someone is freaking out over the last few inches being man made. Al Gore's film was great for waking people up to environmental issues. I was a big fan for several years. But then one of my younger brothers said something that reminded me of details from my original study of climate science in the mid-70s. Suddenly, I saw how horribly wrong Al Gore and I had been. Humans have trashed much of the planet with pollution -- garbage, chemicals and the like. But CO2 is not pollution. You exhale CO2 with every breath. Without it, all life would die. And too much? How much is that? Here's a brief overview of the various levels of CO2 in history and their significance: *_150 ppm_* -- CO2 Mass Extinction *_400 ppm_* -- CO2 today *_800 ppm_* -- CO2 starvation trigger which forced plants worldwide to evolve C4 species *_1,600 ppm_* -- CO2 Normal *_4,000 ppm_* -- CO2 abundance *_8,000 ppm_* -- Rich CO2 levels, the kind which allowed so many plants that it gave us our fossil fuels *_10,000 ppm_* -- Nominal CO2 on naval submarines *_20,000 ppm_* -- Maximum recommended CO2 on NASA spacecraft *_210,000 ppm_* -- The level of oxygen in our atmosphere, and possibly the level of CO2 when Earth had zero oxygen (before photosynthesis).
The reality is the land is sinking due to the water table dropping. The land had a method of replenishing that water, but man decide he was smarter than nature and dug a ditch to get the water out of a swamp. Unfortunately, that means the water table can not be replenished and it drops, causing air pockets in the ground which are filled up by soil above it. This is called subsidence. Add that the sea levels have been rising since the end of the little ice age and yes, Miami is in trouble.
Sad that people like Lydia are allowed to vote but are too stupid to see the true reality. So, Lydia, explain to us how "parts of Florida" have seen a foot of sea level rise but other parts haven't? The video says that. How is that possible? Why hasn't Honolulu seen this rise? Manhattan? Cape Town? Sydney? Explain to me how only parts of the earth would experience sea level rise. No offense, but you are dumber than a rock and you fall for the latest story. Ever heard of ISOSTASY? Of course you haven't. You aren't a geophysicist. Truth be told, the earth's crust moves up and down just as it moves side to side. Think that could be an issue?
J P you are truly stupid, many of those cities are already quite high compared to Florida. Think logically, this is a global issue. You should complete a science degree.
sea level is not rising the land is sinking i live near the water and fish every week have never seen the water rise and i only fish on land for the last 45 years
Janice McKee I haven’t a clue what you’re writing about, I live 600 miles from the ocean and 10 Miles from the nearest river and lake, and 1800 feel above sea level.
Me and my Girl Friend took a road trip to Florida Keys from Canada and canoed there knowing very well that about 30% of the places where we went will be underwater in just about 30 years from now. What a pity.
Property values in Miami Beach should be falling, are they? Thank you Jon S. for this… I was helping to fix a concrete boat dock with the seawall on Miami Beach in 1991, where we marked the low tide and the high tide. In 2017 there is not an inch difference. At that time in 1991 when we did the work they said that in a decade or two the water will reach above the dock....somehow it did not happen.
mdo686 Actually it's very to the point. Trump denies anthropocentric climate change (as do many Rs) as well as regulations to mitigate subsidence and that's the heart of the issue here. How deep under water will some need to get before they acknowledge: "Houston we have a problem."?
Dunning-Kruger US US US!! These were built in 1977 and 1981. The sea level is rising in S W Pacific according to the people whose homes are under water so I guess even with the brain of a blue koala you might know that the sea level rise is universal. YOU just haven't noticed it.
@@BrogeKilrain Because nuclear reactors require water for cooling. And the sea level IS rising, it just hasn't affected New Jersey yet so people still live there and businesses still invest there, obviously. Not so hard to see, is it?
Because some stubborn loose nut denier has the power to say so. That will never ever convince the oceans to stop rising. If you put some ice in a glass of water, the water rises, and stays risen when the ice has melted. What is it you do not understand in that fact ?
@@Longtack55 sea level rise is not evenly universal. Some places rises faster others drop. For example, when ice melts and flows into the ocean, it is losing mass, and hence gravitational pull. On the other hand because the convayer belts are slowing down by making the water less dense, the ocean current pushes water alongside the east of the us, making sea levels rise faster.
Since the 1950's some parts of Florida have experienced 12 inches of sea level rise. Is there anyone stupid enough to believe that only SOME parts have and others haven't?
The Battery tidal gauge in New York shows a sea level rise of 3mm per year for the last 170 years .... and the trend has not changed ... what has changed is the satellite sea level data which has been "adjusted" ...there are numerous tidal gauges all around the world, all showing a straight line trend.
I see what you wrote Kris. There's always going to be a problem somewhere's . I grew up 30 miles directly west of A.C. From the beginning of time I allways remembered A.C. flooding including margate and surrounding towns. We have a really Long Beach that go's out to the ocean. And wildwood to. ITs longer parallel from top to bottom of the whole city. Yet it floods. I can tell you that I didn't look anything up as to why it floods here and margate. I know that with pressure from the tides the water will backpressure up through stormdrains. A lot of towns built their towns not high to handle the incoming water. But worried people have to blame it on global warming or now its called climate change.. Face the facts things change. I'm 59. I love Atlantic City. I don't worry about a damm thing. The green nuts do.
If the sea is rising how come banks will still give you a loan for property on the sea? I don't believe the sea is rising. If it were then there would be strict building and purchasing guidelines. These big banks know better than to loan money on a bad investment.
US and world tide gauges indicate the trend in increasing sea level has not accelerated in 100 years and the worldwide increase is about 8”/century when unadulterated, and lags behind the CO2 upward curve. Many coastal areas show significantly more increase than others due to the coastal land subsiding. Many parts of Miami are islands covered with unstable sand.
The sea level has indeed been rising since the last ice age, its risen some 400 feet in 10,000 years. Sea level rose a minuscule 8" in the 1900s, or less than 1" per 10 years and the rate is slowing. Hardly the biblical deluge the climate kooks would have us believe.
As mentioned below.The reality is the land is sinking due to the water table dropping. Everybody please educate yourself. Where I live the water hasnt risen 1cm. How is this possible.
What they do not tell you is much of the eastern seaboard is sinking. Subsidence from either soil beneath the land compacting due to water removed from the soil, or from magma moving to where ice pushed the land down a large fraction of a mile from the places it built up when the ice was there. The seaboard is on a ridge of magma that has been moving away and sinking for thousands of year.
Forget climate change , it's unavoidable, have a look at the Netherlands instead , i live a couple of foot under sea level and we never had a problem , watch and learn
Hey, if you are low income; in a vulnerable location for sea level rise, in Miami or Atlantic City, then you have few options, but one big one rises above all the others: MOVE OUT; MOVE INLAND...NOW. There will be NO HELP. The sooner you act the better.
(2:20) "Since the 1950s, some parts of Florida have experienced as much as 12 inches of sea level rise." NOT POSSIBLE. Why hasn't the rest of the coast experienced this? You CANNOT fill a bathtub and see the water rise in only part of it. There's another problem. Are parts of Florida sinking due to ISOSTASY? Over the decades, you have been adding weight to that part of the planet. Buildings, roadways, etc. Could all that weight be causing parts of Florida to sink? We've witnessed that in Las Vegas, yet no one is saying the desert is rising.
this is really late. The ocean actually had a topography. The water also tends to rise more in areas with more landmass. Since the Americas are a big continent, certain areas will experience more sea level rise. The ocean is much bigger than a bathtub, so it behaves differently. And different types of soils can cause different parts of land to sink faster or slower. Florida is a lot of clay and soft dirt, which sinks fast. Las Vagas is on a hard limestone dirt combination, which, while it still could sink, does at a much slower rate. I don't know if you'll see this, but just wanted to answer the question as it appears no one has in three years.
Water expand as it gets warmer so countries that are close to the equator are seeing a increased in flooding. Also the gravitational constant on Earth is not even so large cities that are close to the water's edge will drop the most amount of water but it's not a great deal. The gravitational constant of Earth is 9.8 square square but it's higher in certain areas and lower and certain other areas. New York has the highest gravitational constant on the east coast of the United States
A rise of 4mm per year means an inch in 6 years or less, a foot in 72 years or less, a meter (39.37 inches) in 216 years or less, 10 feet in 720 years or less, and those are approximations, but close enough to get the idea.
+Vera Scanlon, Trump is a globalist puppet, just like Obama, Bush, Clinton and the rest -- going back half a century. We live in an Ice Age and our current interglacial started to shut down 3,000 years ago. We've had far warmer climate for most of the Holocene, and people are freaking out over this meager warmth? LOL Sea levels have risen 120+ meters in the last 20,000 years, and people are blaming man for the last few centimeters? That's equally funny. Climate has always changed, and suddenly it's dangerous? We've had far faster changes of climate in the past. Look up 1816 year without a summer. The global warming in recovering from that massive cooling was on the order of +50C per century -- far faster than the +3C per century the UN keeps harping about. And the great warming at the start of the Holocene -- that made civilization possible for the first time in 90,000 years -- that was, according to several different scientists as much as +100C per century (+10C in 10 years). So, the "denial" fits both sides. But who is really telling the truth, especially when Biggest Oil Rockefellers are financing *_both_* sides of the debate?
there is honest explanation if you look, did you know that Florida is sinking, how can water levels change in individual parts of the Earth ,BUT not in others, Australian has no Sea level rise???? for instance since the last mini ice age, sea levels have been rising at a rate of 3 inches per 100 years, CO2 is not causing any climate crises, the Earth is greening because of the minor increase in CO2 now at 410 ppm , I'm sorry that some parts of the land mass that we live on, are sinking, while others are rising, but there are explanations out their if you choose to look, sea level rise? remember 40 years ago their were claims that the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean would be under water in less than 10 years, BUT now 40 years later, nothing has changed , developers have been investing in new construction at a increased rate, Insurance companies are insuring these new buildings ? why? check it out ,
If you read the Guardian you deserve to be served up with this nonsense! Sea level can't just rise in one area. It self levels. Land sinking CAN? Any water arriving on the East Coast would keep going and find its own level? Wherelse is it arriving? Florida? Low land!
Time to "Embrace Change". Move from flood plains and coastal plains, before it's a necessity. Warming will be great for crops, thus people may flourish. Low islands should begin building up their elevations. Cities can relocate or imitate Venice. It's mostly a real estate problem. Get used to it or be ready for the ice ages one more time. Either way, shorelines will change.
Go along with Hope FL. is sinking due to massive lost of underground water, sea levels are rising some but mostly by melting sea ice at poles do to under water volcanoes.
That's not possible. You can't fill up only part of a bathtub. I'm obviously ignoring potentially small differences in gravitational pull around the world but the ocean is churned up due to the moon's gravity as it revolves around the earth. You could see a higher tide here than there, but you aren't going to see regular sea level rise in only select places. Miami is sinking. The water hasn't risen but maybe an inch or two in our lifetimes. There was actually a study in the Pacific. I can't remember if it was done by a university in New Zealand or Australia, but they spent a lot of money on high tech buoys. The project was ended years ago because they found no discernible sea level rise over the years of the project.
Seeing how much FL is or rather was Swamp to which soil was dumped upon, the issues here is nothing to due to sea level rise which is false, its due to erosion and settling.
Anyone who really cares can go to NOAA's Sea Level Trends website and note that the tide gauges all over the world agree that sea level has been rising linearly since tide gauges started collecting data in the 1800s. Increasing carbon dioxide has not affected this linear trend at all. It is foolish to think that anything we can do will change this linear increase that has been occurring for over two hundred years now...
400 million to raise south beach streets yet act like they have no money and to let the citizens rot on the streets? The poverty and conditions in neighborhoods in miami is unlike anything I have seen in the country
Lol, it happened again. It's like they did learn or they don't want to learn. It's about filling ones pocket and let those who live there suffer. They have been arguing about it but nothing much. They are all just busy collecting 💰
Then there is the problem of taking water from the Biscayne aquifer faster than it can be replenished by rain. Result - land sinks and you get a sink hole problem. This is true for much of Florida.
It can. It's called desalination, but it is expensive, and there would be little point in moving flood water out of Miami. It wouldn't affect inundation, and it would be more efficient to build desalination plants on the west coast where water shortages are a much bigger problem than shipping or piping that water all the way across the country.
IDK about global warming as much as the amount of boats subs and nuclear waste we have in the ocean that made it rise or volcanic activity making new land take more of a prespective on things and it might make more sense

Hey My Paradise! I am a keen fan of Tony! He hits the nail on the head. Cuts through the bull like this story for example.
Location , location , location , head for the hills .
Half the reason for flooding is that Local Authorities have over the last 30 years, alowed building of homes on land which has been recognized as FLOOD PLAINS for 100 years.
Head to the high ground now. Many locations in South America look great if you have a dependable income.
When you see the rats running to high ground, is time to sell your home before you’re literally find yourself under water. No pun intended.
By rats do you mean politicians on the make?
Call the Dutch, greetings from the Netherlands
Rene van Huet Ikr 😂🤣👍👌
A Dutch scientist who was studying and teaching at Tulane in Louisiana spoke before congress warning of the dangers of storm flooding and sea level rise in New Orleans. The republicans laughed at him. Then a few years later Katrina happened.
We have countless photos of celebrities and buildings and cities from 20,30,50, even100 years ago. We can all see the change then and now in those photos. Where are the photos of sea levels historically compared with sea levels today? Why can't I find these photos anywhere? If I search Google Images I get graphs and documents and I get projected sea-level change photos. If This Were a real thing shouldn't these photos be a really easy way to prove it?
It seems to me after watching so many of these type of videos, that we are indeed going to face trillions of dollars of damage in lost real estate. Instead of frantically trying to think of ways to keep the water out, why not put that money towards learning how to live with the rising levels like they have in The Netherlands. I was watching a really interesting documentary about a company that makes homes and even office buildings that float, they can be tied to a fixed more, but one which can rise up or down with the ever changing the sea levels, and in worst case scenario is they can just move the structure somewhere else, as technically it’s a boat, although it looks like a regular house. I don’t know this person personally, it’s one of my friends friend, but this person lives on one of these new homes, and he sent me a whole bunch of pictures, and I was in shock! It looks exactly like every other home in the country, it’s got a car parked in the driveway, The beautiful landscaped front yard, and just looks like an average home, until you look a little closer and noticed there’s a small gap between the house and the land. They’ve engineer to concrete wall, that has middle peers driven into the ocean floor, and the house is attached to these peers by giant rings. The place literally has the concrete basement, but it’s a specialized concrete that’s much later and stronger than regular concrete. They guarantee that this structure will float, and never leak, for at least 100 years. The best part is it’s a lot cheaper than a regular home on land, and if you don’t like your neighbours you have to simply can’t catch your house from the peers and move it someplace else via tugboat. I was absolutely blown away at how beautiful and modern this house it is, I would never guess in 1 million years it’s an actual houseboat, but then I found a website that shows how they manufacture these homes and it’s absolutely incredible, and quick. They can build a house in Half the time it takes to build a regular house. They simply floated out of the dock, and tow it to its permanent mooring. I even saw a structure that looks like a good-sized office building, that was five stories high, and to my incredible surprise was actually floating. The Dutch are absolute geniuses, As they’ve had to fight off the seat their entire life, and they have become masters at it, we here in North America could learn a lot from them, so instead of fighting like hell to try to keep the water out, which is a losing battle anyways, why not start off a new, and copy the Netherlands example?
Because most of America is scared of change, and fears that which is different, or they make money off of how it is. Same as it always was, I suppose… I wish they did more for their citizens.
Yes I agree with you. My parents friends on The Boathouse at the Columbia River next to Portland. Obviously is connected by a floating dock I felt as a kid I was very comfortable there and yes I agree with you all the homes in Miami should be retrofitted to float on styrofoam. However that doesn't mean that there will be more and stay in place during a hurricane.
The paving of Florida real estate is a huge effect on water movement.
It will be interesting to come back to this in 20 years and see if they were right. But somehow it won't be available.

The ground is sinking. Unless something happens to bring that ground back up I doubt it will be back . Its called subsidence. Not sea level rising.
Low income areas get little consideration budget spending, accept when it comes to policing.
He forgot one other reason, for local sea level rising, land sinking...
I agree the one thing that is not mentioned is that all these cities were built on marshes and swamps and they are subsiding as well.
careful, soon intelligent statements will be called hate speak or heretic against the Climate Change Church of the New World Order. cheers, and well spotted.
Sea levels in the Sydney harbour Australia 🇦🇺 are unchanged for 200 years!
@ It's the same down at Port Arthur in Tasmania. There were notches marked on the wharf for high tides and low tides and there has been no noticeable increases in sea level rises since the 1850s.
Some of the islands north of Queensland have either already sunk or been flooded with sea water. Sea levels do rise the same everywhere.
@ BOM have been recording daily sea levels for 200 years at fort Denison Sydney harbour. No rise!
Yeah, that would be impossible.
So they don't bring up the high level of dredging that's causing this also. Them pulling sand from the ocean floor in Miami to build high rises could be one of their biggest problems.
hasn't the temperature leveled off for the last 20 years?
Earth's atmosphere has been cooling for the last 3 years,we are now entering the Eddy minimum,300-400 years of global cooling,the Guardian rag aren't allowed to tell the people the truth.
It's gone down about 1.5 F deg since 1999.
@@peterweissmann7794 No it hasn't. We've had the hottest years on record for the past 4 consecutive years. Can you climate science deniers at least stick to just fundamentally not understanding science, and refrain from just straight up making things up? This is just pathetic.
@@sh0werp0wer I have graphs made from NOAA's GHCN data in front of me.
Maybe you climate alarmists might want to get educated instead of coming up with your trash science.
Don't waste my time.
Decades ago in school geology it was stated that the tectonic plate under the miles high ice sheets was pushed down in the north and tipped up in the south, Florida, and as all that ice was gone that now the north is rising and the south is lowering back down....not sinking...
So how can you say Florida is seeing sea rise rather than Florida sinking?? The sea level hasn't been rising anywhere else that follows your logic or measurements...???
Before its too late. Lets jack up the continents.
Better check with Greta Thunberg first! Our foremost climatologist must guide us!
Ha ya those sinking islands in the pacific. Ha ZERO dollars for the Floridians! Maybe you can tax each other to pay for saving Florida. I could care less.
anyone else hear "we're going to need tons of federal money (read tax dollars from the rest of the working class country) to bail out these ultra rich city's disastrous, reckless, building and development projects"? Bail out money just like the S&L crisis while mayors, developers, bankers and insurance companies take years of massive cash grabs knowing that building hi-rises on a limestone coastline isn't sustainable.
I live right by Atlantic City and it's been flooding during very bad rainstorms for decades. Not any noticable changes. Its not the bays or the beaches that flood it's the drains that case some streets to flood. But it's been like that.
We are not seeing sea levels rising in any significant ways. Land subsidence is a differnt bird. Look at the data from sea level measuremetns all over the world. Nothing is happening with actual sea level rise. Period.
It's sad That some people refuse to believe that this is reality! 😟
+ Lydia L Pineault, sad that there are so many people who never hear the whole story from scientists who disagree with the Biggest Oil Rockefellers "climate change" scam. Oh, climate has changed, all right. It can't help but change. It has changed for 4.5 billion years. But the corrupt Big News and Big Science conflating "climate change" (the scientific term) with "dangerous, man made global warming" is dishonest at best.
We live in an Ice Age. Seas have risen 400+ feet in the last 20,000 years, and someone is freaking out over the last few inches being man made.
Al Gore's film was great for waking people up to environmental issues. I was a big fan for several years. But then one of my younger brothers said something that reminded me of details from my original study of climate science in the mid-70s. Suddenly, I saw how horribly wrong Al Gore and I had been.
Humans have trashed much of the planet with pollution -- garbage, chemicals and the like. But CO2 is not pollution. You exhale CO2 with every breath. Without it, all life would die. And too much? How much is that? Here's a brief overview of the various levels of CO2 in history and their significance:
*_150 ppm_* -- CO2 Mass Extinction
*_400 ppm_* -- CO2 today
*_800 ppm_* -- CO2 starvation trigger which forced plants worldwide to evolve C4 species
*_1,600 ppm_* -- CO2 Normal
*_4,000 ppm_* -- CO2 abundance
*_8,000 ppm_* -- Rich CO2 levels, the kind which allowed so many plants that it gave us our fossil fuels
*_10,000 ppm_* -- Nominal CO2 on naval submarines
*_20,000 ppm_* -- Maximum recommended CO2 on NASA spacecraft
*_210,000 ppm_* -- The level of oxygen in our atmosphere, and possibly the level of CO2 when Earth had zero oxygen (before photosynthesis).
Reality: stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/11/10/no-indication-of-sea-level-rise-in-miami/
The reality is the land is sinking due to the water table dropping. The land had a method of replenishing that water, but man decide he was smarter than nature and dug a ditch to get the water out of a swamp. Unfortunately, that means the water table can not be replenished and it drops, causing air pockets in the ground which are filled up by soil above it. This is called subsidence.
Add that the sea levels have been rising since the end of the little ice age and yes, Miami is in trouble.
Sad that people like Lydia are allowed to vote but are too stupid to see the true reality. So, Lydia, explain to us how "parts of Florida" have seen a foot of sea level rise but other parts haven't? The video says that. How is that possible? Why hasn't Honolulu seen this rise? Manhattan? Cape Town? Sydney? Explain to me how only parts of the earth would experience sea level rise. No offense, but you are dumber than a rock and you fall for the latest story. Ever heard of ISOSTASY? Of course you haven't. You aren't a geophysicist. Truth be told, the earth's crust moves up and down just as it moves side to side. Think that could be an issue?
J P you are truly stupid, many of those cities are already quite high compared to Florida. Think logically, this is a global issue. You should complete a science degree.
Same in my area, though nothings changed..
It looks like Atlantic City will have to be renamed to Atlantis in the future.
sea level is not rising the land is sinking i live near the water and fish every week have never seen the water rise and i only fish on land for the last 45 years
Janice McKee I haven’t a clue what you’re writing about, I live 600 miles from the ocean and 10 Miles from the nearest river and lake, and 1800 feel above sea level.
Me and my Girl Friend took a road trip to Florida Keys from Canada and canoed there knowing very well that about 30% of the places where we went will be underwater in just about 30 years from now. What a pity.
Property values in Miami Beach should be falling, are they?
Thank you Jon S. for this…
I was helping to fix a concrete boat dock with the seawall on Miami Beach in 1991, where we marked the low tide and the high tide. In 2017 there is not an inch difference. At that time in 1991 when we did the work they said that in a decade or two the water will reach above the dock....somehow it did not happen.
Florida voted for Trump. So, .... bye.
trump is doing everything he can to speed up the global warming
Trump didn't cause it, but his denial of it sure isn't helping.
mdo686
Actually it's very to the point. Trump denies anthropocentric climate change (as do many Rs) as well as regulations to mitigate subsidence and that's the heart of the issue here. How deep under water will some need to get before they acknowledge: "Houston we have a problem."?
No sympathy at all for Florida; whether flooding or red tide or storm surge. Reap what they sowed. Why should the Federal government help?
Miami didn't vote for Trump tho. Neither did Broward and Palm beach county.
So why would you build a new nuclear power reactor AT SEA LEVEL , SALEM NJ ? If you knew sea level it was rising ?
Cause it’s not !
Dunning-Kruger US US US!! These were built in 1977 and 1981. The sea level is rising in S W Pacific according to the people whose homes are under water so I guess even with the brain of a blue koala you might know that the sea level rise is universal. YOU just haven't noticed it.
David Renwick BTW Salem is building a new reactor now . No insurance co insures any losses . Ripe for sea level rise and a NEer event
@@BrogeKilrain Because nuclear reactors require water for cooling. And the sea level IS rising, it just hasn't affected New Jersey yet so people still live there and businesses still invest there, obviously. Not so hard to see, is it?
Because some stubborn loose nut denier has the power to say so. That will never ever convince the oceans to stop rising. If you put some ice in a glass of water, the water rises, and stays risen when the ice has melted. What is it you do not understand in that fact ?
@@Longtack55 sea level rise is not evenly universal. Some places rises faster others drop. For example, when ice melts and flows into the ocean, it is losing mass, and hence gravitational pull. On the other hand because the convayer belts are slowing down by making the water less dense, the ocean current pushes water alongside the east of the us, making sea levels rise faster.
Since the 1950's some parts of Florida have experienced 12 inches of sea level rise. Is there anyone stupid enough to believe that only SOME parts have and others haven't?
The ocean is very large and currents, wind, and geography affect sea level so it is not the same everywhere.
LMAO! I've lived in Florida 53 years now. this is all hogwash!
Just watch out for the sinkholes.

Try to read a science book, maybe go to a beach, visit the Netherlands.....you poor man...
Have you been to Miami?
The Battery tidal gauge in New York shows a sea level rise of 3mm per year for the last 170 years .... and the trend has not changed ... what has changed is the satellite sea level data which has been "adjusted" ...there are numerous tidal gauges all around the world, all showing a straight line trend.
I grew up by the Baltic Sea water level is same past 50 years. Weather on Earth is driven by Sun but of course that's excuse to raise taxes.
I see what you wrote Kris. There's always going to be a problem somewhere's . I grew up 30 miles directly west of A.C. From the beginning of time I allways remembered A.C. flooding including margate and surrounding towns. We have a really Long Beach that go's out to the ocean. And wildwood to. ITs longer parallel from top to bottom of the whole city. Yet it floods. I can tell you that I didn't look anything up as to why it floods here and margate. I know that with pressure from the tides the water will backpressure up through stormdrains. A lot of towns built their towns not high to handle the incoming water. But worried people have to blame it on global warming or now its called climate change.. Face the facts things change. I'm 59. I love Atlantic City. I don't worry about a damm thing. The green nuts do.
Remarkable to think that the Sun is a climate driver, ain't it?
a 40% CO2 increase does raise heat and change the climate IN ADDITION TO the sun's natural effects.
If sea level rises anywhere, it rises everywhere.
Water seeks its own level. Period.
Wrong
@@mattsmith87 ah, not wrong. Sea level will always conform to a gravitational equal- potential surface, and these surfaces NEVER cross each other.
If the sea is rising how come banks will still give you a loan for property on the sea? I don't believe the sea is rising. If it were then there would be strict building and purchasing guidelines. These big banks know better than to loan money on a bad investment.
No one factors in increased evaporation and the ability of hot air to hold more water vapour.
US and world tide gauges indicate the trend in increasing sea level has not accelerated in 100 years and the worldwide increase is about 8”/century when unadulterated, and lags behind the CO2 upward curve. Many coastal areas show significantly more increase than others due to the coastal land subsiding. Many parts of Miami are islands covered with unstable sand.
Are sea levels rising more than they have since the last ice age? Is Miami sinking?
The sea level has indeed been rising since the last ice age, its risen some 400 feet in 10,000 years. Sea level rose a minuscule 8" in the 1900s, or less than 1" per 10 years and the rate is slowing. Hardly the biblical deluge the climate kooks would have us believe.
@@johnjohnson6413 You are absolutely right; I was just going to comment about the 400ft rise since the ice age. Most people don't know that.
NOAA published rate of rise is 2.8mm per year and slowing. Look it up. That's 8 inches each 100 years. Do your own research people.
Can't wait to see how the changes to the NFIP will affect the price of coastal properties...
How often does sunny day flooding occur and when did sunny day flooding start? Recently, 10 years ago, 100 years ago?
As mentioned below.The reality is the land is sinking due to the water table dropping. Everybody please educate yourself. Where I live the water hasnt risen 1cm. How is this possible.
What they do not tell you is much of the eastern seaboard is sinking. Subsidence from either soil beneath the land compacting due to water removed from the soil, or from magma moving to where ice pushed the land down a large fraction of a mile from the places it built up when the ice was there. The seaboard is on a ridge of magma that has been moving away and sinking for thousands of year.
Nearly a decade has passed since this video was released, and Miami and Atlantic City are just fine...
Forget climate change , it's unavoidable, have a look at the Netherlands instead , i live a couple of foot under sea level and we never had a problem , watch and learn
Fred Lakota did you not pay attention to the part about Florida being on porous limestone..

Hey, if you are low income; in a vulnerable location for sea level rise, in Miami or Atlantic City, then you have few options, but one big one rises above all the others: MOVE OUT; MOVE INLAND...NOW. There will be NO HELP. The sooner you act the better.
The only time sea level goes up is Hurricane season . so stop the BS
Jakarta too...most of north jakarta are below sea level
About 900 feet above sea-level here in Kentucky. See you when you get here.
(2:20) "Since the 1950s, some parts of Florida have experienced as much as 12 inches of sea level rise." NOT POSSIBLE. Why hasn't the rest of the coast experienced this? You CANNOT fill a bathtub and see the water rise in only part of it. There's another problem. Are parts of Florida sinking due to ISOSTASY? Over the decades, you have been adding weight to that part of the planet. Buildings, roadways, etc. Could all that weight be causing parts of Florida to sink? We've witnessed that in Las Vegas, yet no one is saying the desert is rising.
this is really late. The ocean actually had a topography. The water also tends to rise more in areas with more landmass. Since the Americas are a big continent, certain areas will experience more sea level rise. The ocean is much bigger than a bathtub, so it behaves differently. And different types of soils can cause different parts of land to sink faster or slower. Florida is a lot of clay and soft dirt, which sinks fast. Las Vagas is on a hard limestone dirt combination, which, while it still could sink, does at a much slower rate. I don't know if you'll see this, but just wanted to answer the question as it appears no one has in three years.
If you pump out groundwater the land can subside. A lot of Florida uses groundwater.
Water expand as it gets warmer so countries that are close to the equator are seeing a increased in flooding. Also the gravitational constant on Earth is not even so large cities that are close to the water's edge will drop the most amount of water but it's not a great deal. The gravitational constant of Earth is 9.8 square square but it's higher in certain areas and lower and certain other areas. New York has the highest gravitational constant on the east coast of the United States
2 years later and still above sea level
A rise of 4mm per year means an inch in 6 years or less, a foot in 72 years or less, a meter (39.37 inches) in 216 years or less, 10 feet in 720 years or less, and those are approximations, but close enough to get the idea.
Tell the government to stop playing with their weather warfare weapons.
Why not clean the water and use it for food and drinks.
tell that to Trump.. hes in denial but then its NOT happening to him
Doesn't he have a place on the coast down in Fla s/where? Mar-A-Lago -- what a dumb name -- and a golf course in Ireland that is threatened by SLR?
He has one is scotland as well.. hes hated over here in the UK
+Vera Scanlon, Trump is a globalist puppet, just like Obama, Bush, Clinton and the rest -- going back half a century. We live in an Ice Age and our current interglacial started to shut down 3,000 years ago. We've had far warmer climate for most of the Holocene, and people are freaking out over this meager warmth? LOL
Sea levels have risen 120+ meters in the last 20,000 years, and people are blaming man for the last few centimeters? That's equally funny.
Climate has always changed, and suddenly it's dangerous? We've had far faster changes of climate in the past. Look up 1816 year without a summer. The global warming in recovering from that massive cooling was on the order of +50C per century -- far faster than the +3C per century the UN keeps harping about. And the great warming at the start of the Holocene -- that made civilization possible for the first time in 90,000 years -- that was, according to several different scientists as much as +100C per century (+10C in 10 years).
So, the "denial" fits both sides. But who is really telling the truth, especially when Biggest Oil Rockefellers are financing *_both_* sides of the debate?
Vera Scanlon I,m with you
Well, don't vote for him next time, worry about your own leaders in your own country

No rise at all. tectonic plates are sinking in some areas stop this talking.
there is honest explanation if you look, did you know that Florida is sinking, how can water levels change in individual parts of the Earth ,BUT not in others, Australian has no Sea level rise???? for instance since the last mini ice age, sea levels have been rising at a rate of 3 inches per 100 years, CO2 is not causing any climate crises, the Earth is greening because of the minor increase in CO2 now at 410 ppm , I'm sorry that some parts of the land mass that we live on, are sinking, while others are rising, but there are explanations out their if you choose to look, sea level rise? remember 40 years ago their were claims that the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean would be under water in less than 10 years, BUT now 40 years later, nothing has changed , developers have been investing in new construction at a increased rate, Insurance companies are insuring these new buildings ? why? check it out ,
If you read the Guardian you deserve to be served up with this nonsense! Sea level can't just rise in one area. It self levels. Land sinking CAN? Any water arriving on the East Coast would keep going and find its own level? Wherelse is it arriving? Florida? Low land!
i told a friend in Boca, Florida, she said it aint happening for a long time still. Looks like its going to be sooner than later.
Don't worry coal jobs will fix it.
During the last ice age sea levels dropped 400 feet.

Miami and the surrounding area is Sinking. Looks like the rich people will have to move
they could better fight flooding if they added wave anchors like japan does
So no sea level rise?
Well, if you watched the video, only "parts of Florida" experience sea level rise of a foot. I guess climate change only targets old people.
Rises one place recedes another
That's not possible. You can't fill up only part of a bathtub. I'm obviously ignoring potentially small differences in gravitational pull around the world but the ocean is churned up due to the moon's gravity as it revolves around the earth. You could see a higher tide here than there, but you aren't going to see regular sea level rise in only select places. Miami is sinking. The water hasn't risen but maybe an inch or two in our lifetimes. There was actually a study in the Pacific. I can't remember if it was done by a university in New Zealand or Australia, but they spent a lot of money on high tech buoys. The project was ended years ago because they found no discernible sea level rise over the years of the project.
Seeing how much FL is or rather was Swamp to which soil was dumped upon, the issues here is nothing to due to sea level rise which is false, its due to erosion and settling.
Anyone who really cares can go to NOAA's Sea Level Trends website and note that the tide gauges all over the world agree that sea level has been rising linearly since tide gauges started collecting data in the 1800s. Increasing carbon dioxide has not affected this linear trend at all. It is foolish to think that anything we can do will change this linear increase that has been occurring for over two hundred years now...

Then there is the problem of taking water from the Biscayne aquifer faster than it can be replenished by rain. Result - land sinks and you get a sink hole problem. This is true for much of Florida.

Well now we'll need to swap out the alligators for salt water crocs. Hey Australia, got any to spare?
Could sea water be changed to fresh water and transported it to needed areas in needed areas along with sea walls.
It can. It's called desalination, but it is expensive, and there would be little point in moving flood water out of Miami. It wouldn't affect inundation, and it would be more efficient to build desalination plants on the west coast where water shortages are a much bigger problem than shipping or piping that water all the way across the country.

Screw it, build your houses on stilts.
That won t help it the ground that is sinking not sea rise.
Sounds like you people are shooting your foot over and over again, building on the sea level and don't take responsibility for the results.
IDK about global warming as much as the amount of boats subs and nuclear waste we have in the ocean that made it rise or volcanic activity making new land take more of a prespective on things and it might make more sense

If you warm the ocean up, it does not expand, it evaporates.
Just like Venice if you pump out all the ground water it sinks.
