To be fair grass has always played a vital role in keeping the sand dunes together to keep the sea out. That's why the intire coast is a protected area and at most points you're not allowed on the grass. Same with house boats in the Netherlands, they've been around for ever. They used to be for poor people and where unregistered, nowadays they're really popular and ridiculously expensive.

Can you tell me the carbon footprint to mine and produce every single material that is used to build Tesla vehicles . Can you tell me the viability of breaking down depleted solar panels and how much those individual parts are worth. It costs more money to break down a solar panel than what you would get back in individual components. It's smoke and mirrors by our governments. I'd also point out their push for bio energy plants. A building not an actual green plant. Those energy plants burn trees and wood to produce energy. This means cutting down thousands of trees to burn. When those wood materials are wet they use ground down vehicle tyres so the fires burn hot enough. Don't take my word there are reports and even documentaries on here showing their reports. It is nothing less than criminal what our governments are doing. My last note is. Many people can purchase a car that is used and not as expensive as a new vehicle. By making everyone that can purchase a new electrical car the rest that can not will have their vehicles running on fuel taken away and disposed of. The aim is to force poorer people onto money making public transport. If you are poor you can walk or get on public transport.

A new satellite was launched by scientists and engineers thirty years ago to examine how the waters rise and decrease over time, a job that was previously only possible from the coast. On August 10, 1992, TOPEX/Poseidon launched into orbit and began a 30-year record of ocean surface height all across the globe. The findings have verified what scientists had previously seen from the shorelines: the seas are rising, and the rate is accelerating. Researchers have found that global mean sea level has risen 10.1 centimeters (3.98 inches) since 1992. Over the past 140 years, satellites and tide gauges together show that global sea level has risen 21 to 24 centimeters (8 to 9 inches).

Very interesting,even though I'm already very aware what the Dutch are up to when it comes to fighting the effects of a changing climate; for I'm Dutch myself and keep a keen eye on them living in New Zealand. And what I like about the Dutch is the fact they are practical and know you can't fight a changing climate but instead you have to adapt to it's consequences. I especially like the idea of floating cities,and think they need floating or natural barriers around them to lessen the effects of storm tides. Here in Auckland/New Zealand our mangroves are getting bigger and more widespread by the decade. This is in the many inlets of the sea we have;in the more secluded areas so to speak... I wonder if the Dutch would put their mind to trial mangroves in the Netherlands for storm protection of their future floating cities? And yeah!...Bangladesh could use the floating cities surrounded by mangroves too...

An interesting documentary. However.. 1:08 That is not the location of Yerseke! The town is in the province Zeeland, not in North Holland. The dot and arrow point more to the city Haarlem, to the west of Amsterdam. The distance in between is approx. 107 km (67 mi), as the crow flies. Just saying.. It's like saying Frankfurt is in North Rhine-Westphalia! Placing Madrid in Catalonia. Pointing to Milan when talking about Rome. But otherwise, as said, interesting. I subscribed just now after having seen earlier good DW-documentaries already. I hope I'll see more. From now on I'll be notified quicker. Bye.

Explain ... how come sea levels rise when frozen water melts [e.g. from polar caps, glaciers, etc ] as liquid water occupies LESS VOLUME than ice ?
@NorboHitman Жыл бұрын
So now imagine that all the ice that is above the water comes down; that ice wasn't taking up volume in the existing waters.

Great example how to deal with changes in climate on a long term. The big problem is however that heavily corrupted western governments like here in the Netherlands don't listen to the people. They follow orders from the globalists (WEF) who are using alterations in climate, which do happen anyway to force people as life stock to comply to their crazy agenda. They integrate climate in their political agenda, and that causes al this hate speak. Changes do bring opportunities to do things different. And when water levels do get to high integrate that in the new environment or leave the west part of the Netherlands. Halve of the Netherlands was marsh land long ago. Ice ages can come back also. So just get boiled for now and end up later on in a big freeze.

@@erinna8298 Realistically speaking - The status of the land as a nature reserve is less of a consideration IF it also faces danger from sea level rise. Unless the intent is to eventually make it a marine nature reserve once flooded. Which would be fine, the world needs those too. But I can assure you the species of plants and animals being protected there will not survive being even partially flooded by the ocean. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

I bet its not just potato starch, but plastic made of potato starch, which means it was even more expensive/co2 heavy to make.
@erinna8298 Жыл бұрын
Plastics are polymers linking molecules in long chains, usually from oil, wich is plant material squished. So in a way there might be potatoes in there yes. But for the rest I don't understand how you make this connection. The potato starch was not pumped out of km's deep wells, transported for many km's to a refinery, heated to be distilled and refined, transported many km's again to a factory doing god knows what to it, transported again for many km's before finally being used. So no.
@ssruiimxwaeeayezbbttirvorg9372 Жыл бұрын
@@erinna8298 Exactly, it wasn't just pumped out. Potatoes had to be planted, sprayed, fertilized, maybe even watered, then harvested transported and finally starch could be extracted from them. Then you could start your chemical processes, heating, refining, distilling, and whatever they do to change sugar into plastic. And all those processes starting from planting use fossil fuel.

If you are aware of the overshoot, the most important thing you can do is to act wisely and focus your efforts and resources to living of the grid. As monoculture farming collapses, humanity in its current form is done and a very good argument can be made that most people today aren't worth saving. Write them off.
