The people who first built their homes and fought in the wars for our nation, didn't know geology. To them it was solid ground, and they built a city, a community there for generation after generation. This is the sign for all people to pay attention to. Many cities, small and quite large with millions of population on the brink of being climate refugees with no one to take them in, no land to relocate to. United States is a mover and shaker when we want to be, but we only pay attention when it comes to our shores. This island is a harbinger of what's to come.

Since more storm surges in Virginia is a consequence of a changing climate.

Im just wondering, would a seawall really help alleviate the problem in the long term? I would think sand supplementation would be more worthwhile in the long run helping preserve the areas ecological value by maintaining the dynamic environment in which it lays.

Azivegu.. from a ecological standpoint, the wall must first be built before any sand be supplemented... because the sand will only erode with just one or two storms if theres no wall to contain it.... theres actually a cheaper way to do it, but it takes decades to make it efffective---- mangroves instead of walls,

just gonna point out - its easy for all of us to say ‘yo just move, you shouldn’t have built there in the first place’. but those are people’s homes, and it sounds like in many cases, these people have called this place home for generations and generations. that sense of community and belonging can’t be replaced as easily as a house can if they were to move. i don’t know if a seawall would buy more time, as being a barrier island, your water table is going to be incredibly close to the surface. water isn’t just coming across the surface of the land from the sea, but up through the ground as well. perhaps stilts for the houses? that would at least buy a little more time. with rising sea levels, i don’t think this community is going to be the only one displaced, but trying to hold back an entire ocean isn’t going to work. finding adaptive and sustainable housing for all communities should probably be a more reasonable goal. like who knows? maybe developing some kind of floatable houses for island and coastal communities that can withstand changing sea-levels and allow people like them to retain a sense of home and belonging despite changing times.

Human arrogance & inability to let go, that will make natural occurrences like climate change turn into catastrophes. That island looks like it was always destined to be reclaimed by the sea(aren't they all). Yet dude at the end says no we can't change our ways we must fix what isn't broken. I'm sure building docks, sea walls, dredging, etc none of that could speed up erosion. It's like building a city, in a bowl, below sea level, near a coast, then cry for help every time it floods.

@irenafarm2 ай бұрын
“Sea levels do not rise in one place and not another.” How do you not know about tides if you live on the shore? Sea levels are uneven all over the globe. We’ve been able to measure absolute elevation for 25 years. You can look up where the absolute elevation of the ocean is more or less. It bulges at the equator and also in response to tidal forces. The continental shelves and plates affect how sea level changes affect shores. Subsidence occurs for various reasons, some related to human activity, and some natural processes. Same with isostatic rebound that occurs as glaciers retreat. Continental rebound makes sea level drop in some areas.
