Just wondering if you know that the sea level has been rising VERY CONSISTENTLY for the time period we've measured it accurately. It is not all of a sudden a HUGE problem. If we were to raise the existing dikes by a meter or 2, we'd probably be safe for the next 100 years.

There is a thought experiment by Sjoerd Groeskamp and Joakim Kjellsson called NEED. North European Enclosure Dam. It is more of a warning than an actual solution, but quite intriguing nonetheless.

Crypto just crashed, and within a week Masterworks pops up. I can't help but feel it's just an attempt to fuse NFTs with the old art market, and just another desperate attempt to take advantage of the global economic downturn. When people are looking for some magical new fangled business opportunity, scams and dodgy businesses rise to meet the demand. I bet this will eventually end with a lot of lost savings, some suicides and (hopefully) some exec in prison.

The "massive sea dike" is not actually intended to keep the water out. It is intended to be permeable to water; all it does is break the strength of the waves so the shore does not get pounded as badly. Since the water behind the dike will not be as turbulent, any sediment that passes through the dike will settle there, slowly raising the ground level behind the sea dike over the course of a century or so. Once it has come up high enough, it will be a simple matter to turn it into more useful land. After that we just repeat, until eventually the UK and Ireland become part of the Netherlands as well. For an even more megalomaniac plan, look up the Northern European Enclosure Dam.

I believe that on the battle against climate change everything is TOO focused on emission reduction. It's important yes but from what I see happening it's already way too late. In recent years so many projections on temperature rise, precipiation, ice melting etc. have turned out to be wrong. Sometimes completely unexpected effects show and most of the times the projections were overtaken by reality in pace. We need to cut down emissions yes but it won't do anything to STOP climate change. Especially considering that only rich countries focus much on that topic. The most populous places often lie in the third world, where pollution of any kind is a big issue. Only now the Western countries are really panicing and trying to do things in a couple of years that would have been necessary decades ago. Besides emission reduction we now need to focus on reduction of poverty and political instability globally. And the most important part is to COPE with and prepare for the effects of climate change, which are already very apparent in Europe.

So if sea levels are rising “allegedly” why is Florida not building sea defences in the Everglades?

[@IanBurnette]

Three reasons: 1) The Netherlands only works because they've drained the swamp and pumped all that water into the rivers, which then raises the river level to match the sea while also providing solid ground to build/farm on. You couldn't really do the same in the Everglades without destroying them. 2) The Netherlands has 508 people/km2 compared to Florida's 136/km2. This means that the cost of any sea defense is going to cost an individual Floridian almost 5 times as much as it costs an individual Dutch person. The economics just don't make sense for a sparsely populated state like Florida. I think the big cities like Miami and Orlando *will* start to invest in sea defenses in the coming years. 3) Yankee Boomers migrated to the state and keep voting for climate change deniers. They have fixed income and none of their family lives in Florida, so why would they vote to raise taxes and protect the state 50-100 years from now? They'll be long dead and their descendants will still be safe in Ohio or New York. People fail to plan for completely foreseeable disasters all the time-- I mean every hurricane season people wind up dying because they don't take evacuations seriously

Multiple factors are never entered into the risks, like how the ocean doesnt rise as much as it does at the equator and how even now with the Tonga eruption there is no talk of natural disasters that have been cooling us naturally for as long as we have existed. If the Tonga eruption is the biggest eruption since 'The Year Without A Summer' when Krakatoa erupted i think people had better factor this into their calculations. Also the Hans Tausen Ice Cap, in Peary Land, northern Greenland, was drilled in 1977, with a new deep drill to 325 m. The ice core contained distinct melt layers all the way to the bedrock. That indicates that Hans Tausen Iskappe contains no ice from the last glaciation and so the world's northernmost ice cap melted away during the post-glacial climatic optimum 9000 years ago and was rebuilt when the climate cooled some 4000 years ago.

i can imagine a dike working like wall to their fort, but in my mind it would have to go from land above sea level to another point above sea level. what's hard to imagine is how do they do this when there are rivers emptying into the sea in the affected area? those rivers have to naturally end up going down to sea level...so are the rivers artificially raised along their entire path like..an open aqueduct? one of the solutions mentioned was pumping an entire river up to sea level, which makes sense but is mind boggling. the solution where there's an outer wall away from the river mouths was confusing, as i didn't know where the water from the rivers would go as they emptied into the water between the walls and the sunken land. at some point massive pumping would have to occur, right?

Dutch actual plan not to drown: Imminent domain 3,000 farms.

The fourth option is the best long term solutions. Starting now is the key though.

[@tatianaabramovskaya8765]

The guy is a WEF bot. Look at his sponsors. Look at his content - it's a rhetoric to justify the Dutch farmlands grab by the government. I'm waiting for serious (and honest) engineers to call bullshit on this plan. But even a mere common sense suffise to know that "damming and pumping up the entire volume of the Rhine" is a delirium. Not to mention the collapse of the local ecosystem it would lead to if it was doable.

I think the best long term solution is to stop (and reverse) climate change, i.e. buy a bicycle instead of a car for your commute to work.

Over 50 jaar komt men tot de conclusie dat de zee stijging niet meer is dan 1a3 mm, en we helemaal financieel leeg gemolken zijn.

Maybe building the sea full of windturbines and floating seaweed farms will also reduce storm damage…

[@salec7592]

Dutch should build all human-built structures (buildings, roads, infrastructure, even crops fields) in Randstad atop anchored concrete pontoons, with elements to keep those floating "islands" at controlled mutual distances when floating, and then let rivers just flood if they will (and add layers of silt and sediment to the ground). Humans should fight elements only minimally, and evade them as much as possible.

As I'm arguing for a while, the Dutch should be kinder towards the Eastern Europeans.

I think they plan on buying a mountain of stone from the Swiss to make a new coastline. As there is no stone in the Netherlands, if you skip over the boulders the gletchers left here.

Thank you

Sea level rises in coastal area , 50 or 80 years from now this will cause flood or worse makes the 1/3 part of NL sink . 😳 The reason why Dutch government really concern about global warming and sea level.

Dirty Amsterdam getting flooded would be sweet karma from mother nature for the unsustainable super trawlers and flooding Europe with drugs.

[@thefirstkingdogo1126]

We have the best ports in the world Of course drugs dealers will want to use it to

[@kmay4963]

@the FIRST KING👑 dogo I got respect for your infrastructure, just not the lack of policing of drugs. Not just Netherlands but all of Europe. I remember when interpol said they'd be best security force in world. They ain't done sod all on people and drug traffickers. Your super trawlers and your entitled fishermen need to learn about conservation too.
