I think travel trailer homes would be better. One is mobile, can live off the land, easier to maintain and not everyone can swim.

[@johnwang9914]

In the netherlands, there are are concrete homes designed to float that are anchored to poles such that as the sea level rises so too does the home. As to hurricanes, just have a lot of mangroves growing. A lot of ships anchor themselves in the Mangrove groves instead of trying to guess where the hurricane was moving and trying to outrun it, if you're on the Gulf of Mexico side, you could actually be cornered by the hurricane and the hurricane is likely much faster than a floating house.

When you build all those condos right on the edge of the ocean, the ground is not solid enough to support that kind of weight. The ground is like a sponge, and when you put enough weight on it, it starts to sink. Of course it take a long time for this to happen. Of course global warming is a factor. I believe that the earth has a cycle of warming and cooling. The earth is just in a warming cycle right now. Now long will it last, nobody knows. Anyone that lives next to a body of water like a lake or ocean knows that the ground around it is saturated with water. Anyone with a half a brain knows that.

[@johnwang9914]

Airports are not as big a problem as mentioned, there are plenty of international airports built on dredged up material made into artificial islands, yes they do subside and dredging them up does destroy marine habitat but with the 1.5 degree to 2 degree rise that are now seen as inevitable, most of the coral reefs will simply cease to exist, all would cease to exist at 2 degrees. Also the seawater is becoming acidic due to the absorption of carbon dioxide which is not only a danger to shell fish and coral but also to the limestone. I would say that the biggest danger is the land loss is under estimated as is the corruption of existing building foundations, not that airports would need a lot of land which would become rare, we could even go to floating airports tethered to the sea floor or to ballasts like marine spars, the oil industry has a lot of experience in designing stable marine platforms.

[@wannabetowasabe]

The existing sea level rise is more than 2 millimeters per year and accelerating. 3 mm per year will be reached in a few years. At 2 mm ten years of sea level rise is about 0.8 inches. At 3 mm a year there is 1.2 inches of rise in ten years. The rate is accelerating so we may see more than 1.2" per ten years very soon. These measurements are taken very precisely from a set of satellites. The rise would seem to many as insignificant, but Miami is starting to have problems already. At 3 mm rise every 10 years we are looking at a foot in the next 100 years. If Miami and the Pacific island nation of Kirbati are already having problems then other locations will soon start to feel the effects. This is a rise in mean sea level world wide, it does not include high tide periods and storm surge rises.

[@chodkowski01]

Not really. I’ve lived in Florida 38 years and seen big changes in water levels. Whenever there’s a king tide Miami is flooded. That didn’t happen 40 years ago.

[@wannabetowasabe]

@@chodkowski01 Miami is collecting some very good data. They are responding to the sea level rise in an attempt to get ahead of it for the next 20-30 years. Drainage systems, roads and zoning are being addressed. The city is not denying climate change as the sea level rise is right there in front of them. As for high tides and storm surges, the seemingly slow rate of rise presently being measured, tides and surges are getting far worse than the overall mean sea level would indicate. Some excellent data have been collected on those occurrences. The king tide floods a lot of streets in Miami and the city has kept track of that in detail. I have also heard the land in and around the city is sinking as well. That worsens the effects of sea level rise and both are causing salt water intrusion into fresh water aquifers. The estimate of a sea level rise of a foot by 2100 is conservative. Other research is indicating the rate of the rise to be greater, resulting in more than one foot of rise by the end of the century.

[@1USAUSA]

We are dead is what... Everything that LIVES ON LAND NEED FRESH WATER TO SURVIVE and LIVE including YOU AND ME. OCEAN's SALTY WATER is DEADLY in EVERY SENSE. It will KILL OFF everything in its path; SOIL, PLANTS and LIVING THINGS that DEPEND on FRESH WATER. I don't understand. Didn't any of our EXPERTS LISTEN to and HEED the WARNING of STEPHEN HAWKING, the greatest theoretical astrophysicist that ever lived, that he brought us to our attention RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED. *Based on what is happening around the world, MAN has at best about 100 YEARS to live on this PLANET EARTH before it is too late. We must LEAVE THIS PLANET or we are DOOMED.* So, why isn't NASA preparing to take the American people to MARS and the MOON instead of FIDDLE-F******ING around with fixing telescope, installing solar panel and useless activities? LMAO!!!... 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@1USAUSA There is no possible way for man to create a habitable, self sustaining environment on any of the other planets in our solar system and impossible to travel at the speed of light to some unknown speck in the galaxy. So there you have it - we better get busy and spend those space dollars, sea wall dollars and desert reclamation dollars on cleaning up the air because that is what is killing us environmentally. But we are too wrapped up in our politics and diversity to unite to achieve that. Therefore the great die off that has begun will continue to termination.

a hundred years ago the southern haf of florida was almost all underwater. It was drained and run off to the ocean in canals. depleting the everglades to 1/3 rd it's size. comiefornia pumps 75% of the water from the delta into the ocean. countries like holland pumped thousands of acres dry, countries are building artificial islands and pumping huge areas dry. this all raises sea level. Thousands of giant military vessels, cruise ships and cargo freighters all add to the rise by displacing water. migration comes thru immigration not illegally crossing borders

Not sure if you're being serious or joking. If the ocean is higher than the land, no sewage system is going to do what you want it to do. Sewage doesn't travel uphill. Even if you pump it to higher ground it travels right back down again.

What he heck are you talking about? Limestone wears away from the bottom where the sea water touches it, and therefore sink holes crop up. A study was done about the swiss cheese effect of Forida and the ocean underneath it. It's being worn away from the bottom up. Florida was formed during the run off of the last ice age, and all the shell fish were brought down with the run off, and that's what formed the Florida spit. It will only last a certain time due to the limestone, and shell fish. It's all going to mellt away, and Florida will almost be nill when that happens.

They should excavate the ground on the sea floor and use concrete barriers so the surrounding sea floor doesn’t collapse into the sea so then water can drain Into the big whole but the thing is to make any substantial impact it has to be big like large chunk of the atlantic ocean big or maybe do the project in the pacific since theres less infrustructure there

Splitting south Florida identifies with the root cause of the problem. There are two aquifers under Miami a shallow one that has little effect and the Florida Aquifer which is a layer under a nonporous cap rock exactly the same area as the detached south Florida on this video. The lower aquifer has compacted as fresh water was drawn out thus reducing pore pressure and the support of the overburden. Sea Level has risen modestly AND Florida has continued to sink from the post glacial forces - but it is the extraction of water that is the issue here. High tide for a sinking low lying peninsula due to idiots removing the fluid that supports the land and buildings is the root cause but not a single mention in this video. False News. Fake science.
