If NOVA (PBS in general, lol) ever becomes like, well when TLC or History, etc. (something along those lines) turned into whatever the heck you want to call it now, it'll be a really really sad!! PLEASE never let that happen! :) NOVA has, as far as I can remember, always been one of the best d*** science and documentary shows out there! Covering all topics, released very quickly after events happen and so forth... Please keep up the incredible quality and integrity with everything you guys do!! Viewers like me THANK AND APPRECIATE creators like you! 😊

I love NOVA - well said!

Luckily they're still a public broadcasting group so they aren't as beholden to advertisers and clickbait.

Informative and accurate.

It's pretty simple, high water pushed by hurricane winds along with tide changes mean serious danger, which is why the new hothouse world and rising, warming sea levels will only increase the damage and danger exponentially.

In some parts of world, sea have dried, We must work to rejuvenate the sea in that areas to blance water of sea. We have certain amount of water, it's evoparte, comes as rain in another unwanted parts, So we must find the way to create balance water by rejuvenating the dried sea. This can be one solution . Sea water will dry in same areas and will give rain in same areas. Think about it. Jay shree ram.

The background music is very irritating because it makes understanding what’s being said difficult.
