I've lived on Cape Cod for basically my entire life & have rarely been on boats, never done a whale watching trip or gone on any island trips. ... Yet, when I was 21 I drove across country by myself, lived in Boulder City, Nevada for like 3 years, and did every tourist type thing one could possibly do. Pretty much just came back because of September 11th. Was working at a helicopter tour company out there. Anyways, such is life I guess. ... We often take the place we grew up in for granted. Is indeed a beautiful area with much to offer. Thanks much for the video. ... Entertaining & informative. Very much appreciate the given time & efforts

They only selectively believe in science and facts.

Grew up in Little Compton RI. Just the snow melt that feeds the brackish ponds has to cut through so the Herring can run. Ocean coasts always change. And no one can stop the world. Sorry fancy coast scukes!

With the BS assertion, "the sea level is rising," I have to laugh, because all of the examples being used as so-called proof so far, are cases of the land SINKING or being eroded away. Just let me know when Bimini, Bahamas and Key West, Florida are underwater? Those two aren't sinking. That "the water is coming," is as correct as "the Russians are coming" being claimed back when I was born in 1959. I am still waiting for those Russians almost 66 years later now.

As a recent wash ashore to Cape Cod, although a direct descendant of William Brewster, I mourn that we are now the Cape of Very Very Few Cod.

I’m Portuguese, I fish mackeral from November to March-April still to this day! I fish off racing point

But they keep buying and selling and insuring. How bad is the problem??? 😂

😂😅 they've been saying this for 4 decades now. Hasn't happened 🤫🤔

The ocean isn’t rising. Unless you live on a different Atlantic Ocean than I do. Calling B.S. on this one.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I didn't think ppl were still trying to sell this shit, weird.

Cape Cod is a castle made of sand. At one time, the land of Cape Cod went far east of today's beaches, and the shoals off the other Cape were islands. The arrowheads that are found in beach-facing dunes are the remains of native camps that once sat far inland from the beach. You need to get out of your head the idea that the shoreline should always remain the same or something is wrong. The Cape is ephemeral - it wasn't always there, and it won't always be there. There have always been big storms, and there always will be big storms. The hurricane of 1938 devistated New England - there has been no pattern to hurricanes since.

I grew up spending summers at Salisbury Beach. The dunes there are completely gone. There is no protection for the homes from waves anymore.

I was a child of the 80's in Texas and we were taught that reverse racism was the norm and that white people were the new oppressed people, the adults were telling us t hat. the teachers told us that. Christianity was being oppressed and white people were being replaced. I was only when I was able to see parts of the country, obtain education and meet a wide variety of people and cultures around the world that I learned that was all a bunch of garbage promoted by ultra wealthy right-wing. People are just people, It is the class warfare of the rich against us all, tribalism and selfishness of white supremacy that is the cause of the problems we are all experiencing. The wealthy are just making sure that the people with the pitchforks are angry at the people with the torches and vice-a-versa so that no one pays attention to them crewing the whole planet for their personal wealth.

Building that close to the water is delusional t's kind of hard to be sympathetic.

Very informative thank you

Keep buying that shore front property.

Just as in the north shore, all they have to do is dredge the sand that gets pulled off the beach and put it back. Suck it up off the bottom, pump it into a pipe and dump the other end of the pipe on the beaches. It really is that simple, but it calms people down about sea level rise and that won't do.

Thats shifting sand...go look at plymouth rock = no sea rise . DUH Climate change BS is a cult.

Makes no sense to build on a sand dune. I grew up on waterfront property, the first thing my dad did was build a decent seawall.

As an oceanography student (and former child who built sand castles on the beach) I find it fascinating that anybody would build on that spot. Blasch made out well. Bonomi Jr. not so much.

Honey, let's buy on a cliff .... what a gorgeous.... VIEWWWWWWWW......!!! SPLASH!

People who can afford it want to live on the coast until there is a problem then they want everybody else to pay for it. The ocean is subtle but it is relentless. No amount of taxpayer money you throw at it can stop it.

l looked up a topo map of the arm of Cape Cod. l clicked on various points on the main road there. l would say that stretch of highway averaged 50 feet above sea level, with a low of 20 feet above sea level on the approach to Provincetown. This seems to be ignored in these erosion posts BUT l think it's pertinent in explaining the Cape's vulnerability to violent storms. No cliffs of Dover there.

Fascinating explanation of how the give and take of sand erosion works. I have to wonder that when this house crumbles into the sea who pays for the removal of the debris ? You can’t beat Mother Nature.

Of the 1,609 scientists who have signed the declaration, two signatories are Nobel Prize laureates. The most recent to sign is Nobel Prize winner Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. In an announcement from CLINTEL, Clauser is quoted as saying “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.”

When you build houses on sand dunes net to the ocean they are going to get destroyed all the people that own those houses have several other houses and millions in the bank so dig into your wallet and move it

I would really like to own a home on this stretch of beach as it’s incredibly beautiful, but at the same time I wouldn’t want to lose my home

Cape pushes the gulf stream out. Us north are waiting for it to was away so our water will be warm enuff to not make our parts shrivle. 🥴 And swim for more that three second before hypothermia sets in. 🥶

I have an idea! Let’s build houses on shifting sand. Ok.

Cant they just remain on stilts?

I get the appeal of the natural setting but IMO natural stone walls look just look at the homes on East Dennis shore line. Mother nature is going to do what ever she wants so either move them or install stone breakwater walls.

I'm sure the town (or the gubment) wouldn't let anyone put huge stones along the shore to help slow down the erosion. But then they'll just stand by and watch tons of sand be washed into the ocean.

The beaches are moving ! Orrin Pilkey

If the homes were on the Bay side of Cape cod they would be more protected, still susceptible to climate change but as this gentleman says your best bet is going down East main on the Rocky Coast but even there it's not immune. We had a crazy storm last year and the waves through boulders the size of cars into the road.

Without tree roots you're not going to have anything to bind the soil. That's why deforestation in mountainous areas causes mudslides. This area has a lot of elevation but there's no trees, The water actually goes underneath pulls the sand down and it collapses.

Whether or not you believe in "climate change" a change to the climate is happening. It is getting warmer, sea level is rising and that's factual. The cause and whether or not no pun intended it is natural or not is irrelevant.

Lake houses bruh!

The question that needs to be addressed is how far inland does one inch of sea level rise erode a sandy beach.

I’m not sure how this isn’t viral. ❤ great video. Really spot on with today’s world.
