Climate change in the Netherlands - Pioneering coastal management | DW Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- The Netherlands is a frontrunner in innovative coastal management. After all, around a third of the country is below sea level. As the Dutch set about modernizing their dykes, they hope that a marsh grass will help stem the rising tides.
In the Netherlands, climate change is far more than an abstract future danger. With sea levels rising, coastlines are set to be hit more frequently by floods in the future. Scientists at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sea Research are looking for new ways of protecting their country's dykes and seawalls. They discovered that common cordgrass can slow down incoming waves and soften their impact. The next challenge was how to plant the grass in mudflats without it being repeatedly washed away by the tides. Their solution: a lattice structure made of potato starch. In addition to coastal protection, however, the Netherlands also has researchers looking at the potential for using seaweed to benefit the climate as a food source or a plastic substitute. Elsewhere, a floating farm in Rotterdam produces dairy products while boasting a drastically lower carbon footprint. And Amsterdam is now home to neighborhoods comprising floating homes. On the coastal management and climate protection fronts, the Netherlands has expertise that is in growing global demand.

Great & informative documentary 👍. Dutch are experts at coastal management.The world really needs Dutch expertise during this time of climate change and rising sea levels.
Thank you! We're glad you liked the documentary. Subscribe to our channel for the latest uploads.
The Dutch are really clever when it comes to agriculture. I know they play a big part in Essex county in Canada and the greenhouse industry.
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.
I've heard that there is always a humidity problem, living close to the water or above it. As much as I like the floating houses solution to climate change, it seems to be unhealthy long term and could cause arthritis.
Great docu but I laughed out loud when the graphic of the Netherlands showed Yerseke on the place of Amsterdam, Yerseke is on the middle island in the south west.
Haha, yup, Sealand is now near Amsterdam 😅
Haha 😂
Meanwhile, in Italy everyone's praying for rain to avoid severe drought🌧
That sucks for them, but why post it here? Completely unrelated to the video
its almost as if global warming is a media accepted lie
Not in Venice...
@@Honkey666 Venice canals start to run dry as low tide and lack of rain hit...
@@davidanalyst671 and everyone was afraid that Venice would sink..
That's great. At least one country has started to implement measures to minimise the effects of rising sea level
We started fighting the sea long, long before climate change or rising sea levels became a thing, a large part of the Netherlands is below sea level, and sea levels just make it worse. Check out our history of building 'terpen' for example.
If you're serious about climate change, the most important thing is not to give up, not to give up, not to run away, and to keep believing.
lmao
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.
Lies, fascism, dictatorship and criminal governments working for the rich is the only agenda
Sounds like a religion!
If you believe a lie it doesn’t make it the truth and if you wanna believe a lie that’s all you’re gonna get 🤤
@ian x Big Oil says it’s all good 👍👍👍
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...
This is a very interesting documentary particularly that it tackles potential solutions to climate change. Keep it up DW Documentary!
Fantastic documentary! Lot of respect for the Netherlands!!
Een hele interessante documentaire! Wel triest om te vernemen dat sommige onderzoekers lastiggevallen worden met hatemails. Bizar! Ik waardeer het werk van de onderzoekers van het NIOZ.

Leugenaars krijgen nou eenmaal hatemails, eigen schuld, moeten ze maar niet liegen!
I skimmed through, but nowhere did I see any numbers showing how much the sea level has risen. I wonder why?
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).
@Elvis Attacking the person w/o actually addressing the issue really shows who the really stupid between the two of us is. Hint: not me.
The sea level is rising independently of the information presented in this documentary
@@johnnyblue4799 the documentary is not about proving the fact that sea levels are rising.
If there’s a documentary on ‘The effect of mosquitoes on humans’, it’s like asking them “Hey why didn’t they prove the existence of mosquitoes?”
@@hosnimubarak8869 Measured where? The trend is not the same everywhere and I quote:
"The global average sea-level trend is so minuscule that in many locations it is greatly exceeded by local vertical land motion. Places with high rates of vertical land motion, like New Orleans (sinking) and Stockholm (rising), have sea-level trends which are very different from the global average."
I smell some "doctoring" and "cherry-picking" of the data...
Btw, gauges are not reliable since they can't account for local land movement.
Our dutch english is so funny hahahah
DW documentaries are always brilliant... Just watch it @1.5x speed
The Netherlands and Europe are of no importance whatsoever for the climate and temperature on earth Green and sustainability are lies deceit and ignorance How often do climate clubs such as the IPCC and the UN and NASA still have to be exposed Fraud corruption favoritism deception and deceit Independent climate scientists flush the toilet on with that shit
lovely! thanks DW
God bless Europe ❤,, God bless all over the world,,
Excellent documentary as always DW, much appreciated.
Thanks for the compliment, Tony. We are glad you liked the documentary 😊
the genuene hero's of the netherlands. my eternal thanks to you!
comments being muted / hidden, predictably
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. If you put rising sea levels in a cup it becomes the cup. Water can flow or crash. Be water my friend - Bro Lee
Bruce Lee？
“Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2,500+ years.”
The sea level has risen over 20 centimeters since 1900 and 9.67 centimeters since 1993.

Pls, explain ... 🤔🤔how come sea levels rise when frozen water melts as liquid water occupies LESS VOLUME than ice ?
@@murielb9946 it is not a question, it is a statement
@@renatosureal You answered your own quetion. Ice is less dense than water, thus it floats above the water surface.
When ice melts, it occupies its original volume in the sea and no longer the volume that it displaces (air).
Elementary school kids understand this better than you am afraid.
@@shiroineko13 no, it is not that. water is the only substance that EXPANDS when frozen thus occupying more space/volume.
There is nothing new with seaweed farming. It has been there at least since the 16th century (Korea / Japan). FAO reported that world production in 2019 was over 35 million tonnes.
I can't be the only one disliking the floating home segment, only for the reason that it suggests that there could be a future where everyone should live on floating homes. But coastal area are the most expensive ones all over the world, and I bet it's not cheap as well. Most people nowadays can barely afford simple housing. So this feels really out of place, it's not a solution really for anything.
We need to accept too that there will be a point when dikes and levees won't be enough. Floating cities may become a thing.
@@filegrabber1 Doesn't sound realistic at all for most countries and cities.
@wowJhil Innovative projects always are very costly because you have to be very creative, technical and persevering, but you learn a lot and how to commodotise and market this. Fast forward, putting the lessons learned into cheap solutions.... and a floating city will be a fact, even for you.
@@ytjos222 Even with sea rises it's not like all places will be under water. And where we already have built you cannot just replace existing buildings with floating ones. That is why this feels gimmicky in the sense that it doesn't actually address the real challenges.
Id imagine the floating village at the end, also experiances cooler temperatures in the summer, as it has less heat absorbing materials surrounding the area...like concreate, or asphalt.
Trapping the sediment and growing with the sea level - that's a very interesting idea, I hope it will work.
Quite informative! Interesting about the cows 🐄 , the new housing /living patterns; seaweed has always served many purposes for many years. Thanks for video 👍🏾
"Interesting about the cows" ...... Yes ! ...... animal cruelty, admittedly, quite mild here .... but the deprivation is extreme ..... When was the last time that those poor cows jumped and skipped for joy as they were let out onto Spring pasture ? When did they last graze on sweet wild flowers ? Man cannot live by bread alone. Cows should not be required to live by cattle cake and supermarket waste alone. Nice though it may be, the plastic back-scratcher in this dystopian "facility" is not enough. Factory farming, not at its' worst, but totally unacceptable nonetheless.
Crazy how I just finished a literature review on sea level rise and I get this in my recs😭
I know your pain 😑
@1:14, maybe DW should study a bit more on the map of the Netherlands.
Yerseke is about half a country distance from that point
I'm sorry for the world, the animals, the trees, the insects. The Problem Is Greed💙💜💚
Without that greed, we would still live in caves. And no, that wouldn't be better for the environment either.
@@HistoryHussar Facts.
@@HistoryHussar You're saying "we would still be living in caves" as if it's less resourceful and less of a skill from the comfortable Netflix-based lives that most of us are living right now. Also perhaps you could explain to me how living in caves is "not better for the environment" than the billions of greenhouse-emitting houses we've built mostly for the rich (sometimes for very small families or even single individuals) all suited to house even our CO2-vomitting vehicles while we run to our local supermarkets every time we get an itch to buy dead animal body parts produced by mass animal agriculture which has been proven to be the largest contributor to climate change of all.
@@Seven-ld9zv Everything you listed here fits the ideology, as if you were reading from a textbook. If you think living in caves is better for the environment, go ahead, enjoy - but don't preach to others while enjoying the same level of comfort. This is just empty virtue signaling, do not pretend for a second that you care about the environment, you just want to feel better about yourself. And that's fine, it's very human, it has been the go-to option for millions of people, for thousands of years. It's just a bit boring and shallow.
@@HistoryHussar “Without that greed, we’d still be living in caves.” Oh, so it was *greed* that was the instigator for building shelters and farming for the first time. Interesting take. I always assumed that it was a communal human effort to improve our living conditions.
Keep up the good work guys.Humanity is now truly in a war with climate change and everything we do now will determine our future.
The sea has risen about 14 mm in the last 50 years.
OMG we're all doomed.
20-30 year horizon? Love the optimism.
Glad Bangladesh was mentioned. 63% of the population lives in rural areas. The main seaports, Chottogram and Khulna, are also at risk. Many thousands of people of the coastal area have had to move from ancestral land to the capital. Salinisation of land, erosion and the threat of storm surges cause displacement. The countries responsible for the sea level rise should pay for a Netherlands-style sea defence system.
Bangladesh, one of the most vulnerable country to climate change. Sea level is rising, saline water enter the land as a consequences food security fall in risk. Dhalchar like other island is diminishing day by day with tidal erosion. Scientist should do something for us.
Explain ... how come sea levels rise when frozen water melts as liquid water occupies LESS VOLUME than ice ?
@@renatosureal 1: Read up on Archimede's principle.
2: A lot of ice that is melting is land ice, the melting of that ice is causing the sea level rise. Ice that is floating in the water already doesnt cause sea level rise, so you are partially correct.
3: Even without the melting ice, the oceans also thermally expand as the earth is heating up. As you might already now, things expand when temperatures rises. This also goes for water in the oceans.
@@basementdweller42 FROZEN WATER (= ICE) VOLUME is GREATER than LIQUID WATER for god sake ! When ICE MELTS, it OCCUPIES LESS/LESS/LESS volume than before. On another note ... ground ice evaporates when melted, infiltrates, etc ... only a % goes to "bodies of water" loke oceans and rivers. What the % of GROUND ICE compared to OCEANS ??? A. minimum !!!!! Does not even tickle.
@@renatosureal that ice wasn't floating on water.
It comes mostly from land.

I love the Dutchlish language.
Gaaf toch
Dolphins have a highly advanced spoken language. I love them as family.
They did not even mention the oxydation of peat, causing the Netherlands' western part to sink by one centimeter a year.
Hopefully Amsterdam and other western cities disappear in the waves with all its inhabitants. They hate the other citizens of the country and their way of life.
Oh yes, I recall the black peat controversy in the netherlands. It was all over the news.😉
because it does not fit their narrative of pushing the climate bs agenda
Simple fix: don't build in low level coastal areas. Only an average rate of 3mm a year. Even at 10mm per year it is only 1 meter a century, easy for humans to out build.
You do realise that 18 million people live in the Netherlands. They need protection.
Coastel management is not at all about climate change! Rising sea levels are as old as the Netherlands...
I live by a tidal river and I'm very proud to say that I am part fish
Me too Dan. I found a web between my toes one day. I thought I was turning into a frog, but it proved to be athlete's foot. Still I'm not giving up hope.
Being a fish and drinking like a fish are 2 different things Dan!
Very interesting journalism. Thanks for sharing this.
Don’t the Japanese eat seaweed raw instead of extracting proteins with enzymes?
Love the documentary. The Dutch have their work cut out for them because of rising sea levels.
Without taking measures possibly 60% of the country risks being swallowed back up by the sea, a future old poems already predicted. I wonder if the Dutch succeed because if they do a lot of coastal areas would profit from this knowledge and these inventions. The Dutch have battled the Sea for centuries and our proud to ‘live with water’. Very interesting to see how they will get a grip on this next level threat to their entire existence. If anyone can find answers on how to deal with climate change issues, my money is on the Dutch to figure things out 👍🏻
Yerseke is wrong located on the map in the beginning of this video. It's located in the province of Zeeland in the south-west! Now it looks that Yerseke is located were Amsterdam is!
Brilliant. . . 👍👍
Interesting, informative & lovely documentary video shared by an excellent( DW) documentary channel... shows how scientists use plant biology methods & practical Algei science for reducing carbon dioxide rate & fighting sea levels for facing climate changes, dislikes phenomena. (maybe mango 🥭 plants root beside court grass helps Bangladesh 🇧🇩 peoples )...

Combine seaweed, cord grass and mangrove trees.

We need more sea level rise to make climate change great again.

The Dutch: always impressive, omnipotent with cutting-edge solutions for a rapidly endangered human habitat. So inspiring and working with diligence against a race of the clock and other human nations that are utterly ill-equipped to do anything. 🟧♾️🟧
Agreed, I think it will be the Dutch who will also throw in the towel and just start building vast high tech floating cities and farms, as well as furthering the creation of artificial islands.
Our culture is not to bad, but we also have a crippling stupid generation of politicians more interested in staying in power at any cost whatsoever, slowly eroding all benefits we used to have.
@Erinna 🟥 its the same generation that has infected the entire western world- the later boomers- darkly enhanced people, rage grievance hysterics, born in the 1960's a poisonous generation of crushing diabolical everything. Not all but many. 🟥
People like me who are learning and working on environmental problems like sea level rise and seawater intrusion mainly due to climate change have many things we can learn from the Dutch scholars.
Thank you, DW for this amazing and informative documentary.
@@pazeerahmed9167and what causes climat changing to you????
The Maldives, a very good measure of real world sea level rise without direct human intervention like the Netherlands, has seen a average of 1.4mm of sea level rise per year since they started measuring in 1954, meaning the sea level has risen by 9.6cm in 69 years, and the sea level would rise about 14cm in a hundred years from now....... Clearly far below the end of the world sea level rise we hear about in the news.
Also, new ocean front housing developments are being built daily across the globe, being funded by global financial institutions, and insured by global financial institutions...... These guys REALLY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, and would never fund projects that would disappear before they get their money paid back.
Let us not forget the very large quantity of politicians, media people, celebrities who tell us to pay more taxes to fight sea level rise who own, and continue to purchase the best ocean front property the world have to offer....... If they REALLY BELIEVED IN SEA LEVEL RISE they would not buy those beach front mansions.

"meaning the sea level has risen by 9.6cm in 69 years, and the sea level would rise about 14cm in a hundred years from now....... Clearly far below the end of the world sea level rise we hear about in the news."
Meaning you can't account for an increase in sea level increase. You just don't understand the concept.
"Also, new ocean front housing developments are being built daily across the globe, being funded by global financial institutions, and insured by global financial institutions...... These guys REALLY DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, and would never fund projects that would disappear before they get their money paid back"
Oh you sweet summer child..
The mortgage crisis of 2008 was not that long ago. To claim lenders are never incompetent is reaching pathetic levels of ignorance.

They are rich. They can buy a new one. Plus they can do something you can't: Check IPCC SLR projections an buy the house higher than that. If the house floods in 100 years they will be quite dead by then. People die of old age you know?
@@nunofoo8620 Show me the increase in sea level rising please....
Exactly. An increase in the rate of sea level rise has been predicted for a long time in the Netherlands too but sea level rise has been pretty constant for the past 150 years.
Whenever they build any type of housing, they make sure they make their money back immediately. There's no long term planning, holy shit how naive can you be? "the people who want to make a shitload of money off the people will save the people!"
6:18 - " He sees seaweed as an excellent meat substitute." Absolute nonsense.
Seaweed as a food just has an image problem and needs to be renamed according to what type of sea plant it is. Kind of like how soybeans were rebranded as edamame and cow branded as beef.
In 2016 a scientific study was published in Nature by 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries that analysed satellite data and concluded that there had been a roughly 14% increase in the earth's green vegetation over the past 30 years. The study attributed 70% of this increase to the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is equivalent to adding a new continent of green vegetation twice the size of the mainland United States.
Yeppers. Plus CO2 is a greenhouse gas and there are (and will continue to be) winners and losers in the changes that are occurring. Science for the win!*
* except you seem to be denying the warming part
@@scottekoontz I didn't deny anything. Just pointing out little known facts about climate change, for the climate doomsday cultists.

“See? Global warming is a *good* thing.”
That’s the new spin from vested interests, yes (now that the vast majority of people have accepted that AGW is real)
This is a well known study, but there are problems associated with it. A lot of the greening is longer growing periods of agriculture, which can yes lead to a co2 sink, but also add additional problems with nitrogen deposition. Additionally the oceans form a major co2 sink as seaweed and other greens thrive, but that could lead to oceans becoming more acidic, that could have potential catastrophic effects too. That's just to denote the messy and complicated nature of climate with so many moving parts.
Sea weed for soils! Great idea!
@11:12 that is a terrible translation of what was really said.
He said this is bad for our business, not bad for our product. It probably is bad for their product, but the guy was clearly speaking about his business and not the product.
The map and pin you showed for Yerseke is completely wrong, Yerseke is in Zeeland, not Amsterdam, quite a drive to the south.
Does the sea rise in one ☝️ place … and NOT another?
Or would be like adding water to a pot on only one side!!!
Maybe seaweed can be used to feed our Cows? that way reducing the need of wheat crops for feed
The Dutch have always right.because this country is build from reclaimed land an still exist .An become very rich.
Some parts video and audio are horribly out of sync.
The dutch are crazy smart
Do seaweeds absorb heavy metals that enter seas from industries?
I am not more worried than heavy metals in regular food.
What I am worried is the chemicals to process all that seaweed. I am already poisoned by chemicals used to process soy.
I became vegetarian three decades ago to preserve my health. And soy is a big part of my diet.
But I just found that soy isolates are poisonous.
It seems that they boil the soy in acids, and then cancel the acids some other stuff more dangerous, the one used to make soap. Caustic something.
My liver managed to cope with it all these years, but now is failing. And I did not knew it till I saw some similar documentary.
@@ehombane sorry to hear.. heavy metals enter body largely from cereals and vegetable than meat and fruits one research article says.
Depend on what type of seaweed you are growing and how bad the polution from heavyy industry is
Even if you can not eat them there are other uses for seaweed
Do House Boats make you seasick ?.
No, only landsick. 😅
Pretty 😢 the 🐄 have to live in a small area like that
The cows have a space for walking and grazing near the farm ✌🏻
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.
Displaying and knowing pollution and environmental issues cant be solved.we have to sacrifise our greeds .we have to limit ourselves in everything either willingly or strict enforcements by system.personel Freedom are only for progressing and not distructions. Whole universe has everyone share never few
Wait, when did we move Yerseke from the south-west of The Netherlands ( in the province of Zeeland) to Amsterdam (North-Holland)? 😅
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.
Isn't that carageenan stuff u always see now in, like, Gustafson's farms strawberry milk or whatever made from seaweed?
See weed bacon sounds interesting.
Rising sea level??Just 7 mm in the last 20 Years!Not very frighting..
NEDERLAND 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
So how much has the sea level risen over the last 25 years?
I want to listen to music I turn on a sound track. But the background music DW is playing in the documentaries is anoying and totally unecessary.
More River s following water in the more Sea growing water there will stop seas are dry
Interesting, but do they calculate the increase in wave hight when a wave moves into the shallows? That would seem an increased risk to the dike itself.
they only gives informations that fit the narrative. Just like any other mainstream medias...
You places Yrseke in the absolute wrong part of the country! It is the the south-west of the province of Zeeland.
Sending someone death threats bc you dont agree with their views (despite there being proof) is the highest level of stupidity
Where is all this water coming from to raise the sea level a meter this means that two meters of water would have to be stored over all the land mass, it is just scare mongering .
No rises in Sydney harbour! Is your land sinking?
Does this has anything to do with all the seaweed showing up in Florida? Cause she said all the seaweed disappeared 😅
We live on floating continental shelves that are soaked in water.
Too much water? Turn H2O to H and O2!?
any affordable homes in the floating neighbourhood?
I bet its not just potato starch, but plastic made of potato starch, which means it was even more expensive/co2 heavy to make.
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.
@@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.
This is not entirely the truth. Almost all sea dikes still had WW2 defense works in it.
From pillboxes artillery emplacements to concrete,stone or wooden foxholes or even trenches.
Those caused a lot of dike breakthroughs.
thought the guy with the white hair was Jeremy Wade.
It always will be different then predicted… Worse or better…. different…
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 ?
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.

8 inches in the last 150 years. When you reclaim land from the sea you are increasing sea levels
@@dixondavies bull
Fun fact .1500 years ago the Netherlands was buried under two miles of ice
200.000 years ish
Sea levels aren't rising though are they?
You had my attention until you said seaweed can replace meat🤮
Funny that in the NL, everything is in Amsterdam according to the rest of the world. Even Yerseke 🤣🤣 (witch is actually in Zeeland but ok).
DW mean amazing Documentary
DW means Deutsche Propaganda

Seaweed has been on the menu for countless years in South Asia, and so are insects. Food scraps fed to farm animals, and floating houses have been around too. Cow dung has been used for fuel and fertilizer and mangrove trees protect the coasts.
Global population control is what's needed and fast track the Nuclear Fusion technology already then we might all live happily ever after.
Maybe something like a reinforced coastal line city makes sense for the Netherlands. If not for residential purposes, then for indoor farms and things like cattle farming as is done nice and efficiently on the floating platform, but why not have it as part of such a bulwark? Or both.
Our coast line is just way too long to cover it all, the amount of resources and the cost would be prohibitive.
@@erinna8298 Yeah. It would definitely not be a small thing.
@@joeblack4436 also most of the northern coast is a nature reserve and building anything there would be extremely destructive to the eco system ;)
@@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.
@@joeblack4436 yes, it is a massive tidal mud plane inhabited by sea lions etc etc, its a marine reserve already
The problem is maybe 90% of the farms in the world are not so high tech.. so while u are reducing carbon with like a small percentage of the world farms, but those 3rd world country cant afford these high tech farms and will still do things the old way and they contribute more pollution as a small percentage of the rich nations try to save with high tech farms
