The Earth is alive. It’s always changing naturally.
Humans r killing it with pollution. Fossil fuel addicts will never admit their carbon foortprint is doing so.
People have been building homes in places where they shouldn’t. The coast is one such place. Fire areas and flood zones are other places.
If you buy a property on the water why were you not aware this could happen? The public should not be responsible to pay for these repairs!
Let the greed fall into the ocean, and make all beaches public land
@@sigiloXXX Nice that you are wealthy enough to ponce off to Spain to enjoy your leisure. Now, shut up about beaches in the US. Realize Spain's government is no good example for anyone.
For example, why didn't they know nobody would come because the beaches are so out of the way? Because they are far left prats who prefer to take things from people rather than examining reasons for the status quo.
The old story about how such monkeys are part of the "will not hesitate to give you the shirt off someone else's back" crowd. Screw them. And you.
@@sigiloXXX and I'm
I agree all the rich want waterfront, what about the homeless?
And INDEED that's what's happening. Look up January February, or Tishri or the 6th Millennium, or the Shmita Year, or Hebrew/Jew New Year. It's NOT GLOBAL RISING ! THE SPIRITS OF THE MOTHER G-D'S OF AMERICA ARE DESTROYING EDOM...FOR GOOD.
Agreed
Hubby and I live in Sunset Beach, CA which is part of Huntington Beach. We live across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Every 4 years, the sand at Surfside which is next to Sunset Beach, must be replenished due to the jetty that was put in many years ago by the Navy as there is a Naval Weapons Station there and the ships come in to dock to replenish their armaments. The jetty stops the sand from natural replenishment. It is happening now. It’s pretty cool to watch as the big pipe that is used to suck up the sand spurts it out onto the beach. It takes about a month or so for the sand to be replaced.
It was always a mystery how over in the USA you could build all these high rise buildings on the beach and of course recent events are telling us that you can't. One mystery solved at least.
National Geo predicted major coastal cities worldwide would be underwater and Miami would be an island by 2100. Long time ago the continents separated. Geological is inevitable. It is for people to adapt or relocate, not attempt to control nature.
Had to move a shack TWICE! Had to put rocks on the beach to protect a sandy beach road! Wow I'll bet that never happened before. NNNOOOOTTTTT! Take a page out of the citizens of Dover of England play book - DON'T BUILD ON THE CLIFFS!!!!
So many people want to place blame on other factors ( climate change, rising oceans, etc.) when the first mistakes were in allowing development in the “combat zones” of naturally changing coastlines. The lady who wants the beaches to be preserved exactly as they are for her grandchildren when they grow up does not comprehend the nature of the coast that is constantly changing. Should a barrier island that is migrating south be allowed to consume multimillion dollar houses on the north end while they are being quickly built on the south end? The cost of preserving a pristine picture perfect setting for decades to come is very expensive in terms of money and the natural environmental changes.
I am exactly with you with your view. These beaches are not disappearing. They are just migrating as all sand beaches do. What get in the way are the ignorant developments that were allowed from the get go of California. If not for all the human structures and feeble attempts to stop nature's geological changes new beach shorelines would had formed. Nature will decide where the sand are taken and where they are re-deposited. Old beaches disappear and new ones formed. This whole program is biased from the people with their respective interests.
Saudis r going to have a huge prob. Abu Dabi (sp?) Is built on manmade sand.
A foolish man builds his house on the sand
This is one reason for letting rivers reach the ocean.
Thank you all so much for sharing this information.
This is a losing battle might as well move out of those areas and return it back to nature. Putting a band aid building sea walls and other erosion protection doesn't work on bleeding profusion of erosion. Sorry these efforts won't work.
Absolutely agree where's the fairness for all to enjoy ! A big house is a waste
LOLOLOL yeah, prats such as yourself say that until you buy a big house, then you shut up. How about we pretend you already have such, and you shut up?
I'm an OG surfer from Santa Cruz,Pillar point. I seen it happen to my beloved beaches,. All the favorite breaks up highway 1 to ocean 🌊 beach ❤️
Good, California is too expensive. We need disaster to get rid of the rich
It was very curious to know the errosion taking place in California.I am from Kerala,Indi.What I noticed our beaches are erroding very fastly with an average of 4 meters per annum.Lot of houses has sunk in the Arabian sea and coastal communities are faceing, a more vigorous situation in the comming years.All this is happening, due to the greedy people with the help of Beuracrats and Political leaders are spoiling our mother nature
Keep all beaches clean and friendly, don’t build your home on sand too close to the water.
Gee...where did those cliffs come from?
A living shore line exists without human intervention.
I had lived in Laguna Beach Calif since 1968,St Ann's Beach now is completely underwater during high tides=a new development.
But nobody talks about offshore dredging for sand to be used in construction. It's actually becoming scarce, when you remove the sea bed the beaches move to fill that hole.
Rich people fancy mansions pity factor zero
Yes, these are some serious psychos in this video. Mental patients!
Thank you, Jennifer Hernandez, for speaking truth about the lack of political/civic will to actually do anything long term to prevent coastal erosion and other disastrous effects of climate change. I started worrying about the Atlantic beaches I love in 1970. I assumed that, as the effects of climate change ramped up in cost, people would stop talking and they'd act. Nope. The cost of action will climb steeply, and the likelihood of success in preserving the coasts will fall.
Sad that so called global warming has become a political football in which the truth becomes hyperbole to both sides.
Seas are rising at the slowest rate in 13,000 years. And humans can`t control it. It`s called erosion. Humans had absolutely nothing to do with the 400+ rise in the sea level in the past 20,000 years which has recently slowed to almost nothing. The coast of California is affected by ground movement. Anyone calling this problem they`re having "sea level rise" is completely delusional. They say the same about Miami which is sinking for very well understood reasons. People seriously need to inform themselves and stop listening to these psychos with a $$$ agenda.
Oh I'm so sorry for the most intelligent people on the planet .
What is needed in these communities is a CHANGE-OF-MENTALITY.👀
We can not engineer ourselves out of Global Climate Change.🎓💯
Sounds like geological change, which is natural.
We need desalination. Love the ocean but cant live without water.
The coast erodes at approximately 1 metre per year averaged over 100 years. Coastal erosion of 3 metres in a year is fast, but I wonder what the erosion is like on permafrost coast?
I watched a program on UA-cam channel NOVA about permafrost melt and its potential effects on climate change that you might find interesting, if a little scary.
People should move land inwards. The coast is too crowded.
Already happening in Florida, mobile home parks are being targeted. See videos here on UA-cam to learn more. I wish the land owners cared enough to include relocation services for residents but they don’t. Maybe here it can be different. The rich should not be allowed to land grab pushing thousands from their modest housing. If this scenario is not privatized in the sale, taxpayers will end up paying as the problem straps the cities and State with people that have no money to replace what they had. We taxpayers fund Cal Trans projects and the cities fund cleanup behind storms. I like the dunes idea. So far the best idea many cities are working on. But if push comes to shove, we should block any attempt of entitled greed going on in Florida. Beach front owners made the choice to live oceanfront and they had full disclosure from their title insurance policies and liability policies that they have No Lot Boundary on the ocean side and they take the risk of land lost. They have no insurance for it. They’re lucky to get the State and community support they are getting. The dunes projects are the most promising. Another post here gave us a history that this has been 400 years in the making. Our planet has cycles.
@@debistanley2791 Thanks for your story. The idea is to use common sense and not getting confused by politics. There are a lot of places where beaches grow but erosion is permanent even on a rocky coast. People are not to blame for that. And there are a lot of beautiful places without beaches. But the main motive to live on the coast is romantic. And fishing of course.
Great job highlighting a serious crisis!
A crisis called EROSION...not sea level rise. Earthquakes and fault lines are always changing the topography in California. The land rises and sinks. This garbage on the screen is a bold faced pile of lies and propaganda. My God what`s wrong with the brains of democrats?
@@baneverything5580 agreed that sand starvation and not sea level rise is the root of the immediate crisis but it is indeed a crisis. Inland development plus exacerbating drought means our beaches are no longer being fed sand from creeks and rivers. Come visit Capistrano Beach and you’ll see the problem. Sea level rise will indeed contribute eventually to the massive erosion and infrastructure loss we’ve experienced.
Buildings don't last forever, no matter what land they are built on. But the loss of property will hurt some.
Put out seawalls into the surf away from the beach, like marinas have. Break the waves before they break the beach.
Nice drone footage!
The present Torrey Pines State beach free parking area along PCH just immediately south of the lagoon entrance is very interesting. The present barrier beach that underlies the Pacific Coast Highway has been deposited upon a wave cut platform benched into Pleistocene to Holocene estuarine mudstones over the past 10,000 years or so. During the mid 90's, severe winter storms removed the modern beach sand and underlying cobble deposits along with the roadside parking along PCH to the east, exposing the dark grey shelly estuarine clays below. The estuarine clays here are close to 100' in thickness with non marine valley floodplain deposits below that. This non marine to estuarine to open ocean shore face sediment package has been migrating more or less as a single unit up the coastal valleys, filling them in over the past 18 to 24 thousand years in response to sea level rise. All of this due to melting glaciers and massive continental ice sheets resulting in nearly 400' of sea level rise, flooding all coasts worldwide. This is the just latest in a series of marine transgressions occurring over the past several million years. Here comes modern civilization with its" immoveable" hard scapes. The PCH at this location forms an artificial "sea cliff" causing the remaining beach to change from a sandy beach /cobble environment to a combination sandy beach /rocky shore environment armoured with huge angular blocks of rock at the PCH. The sandy beach with it' basal cobble conglomerate has since reformed, however the wave cut platform below the newly reformed beach has been extended shoreward and downward, lowering the beach over time. With the next major episode of sand and cobble removal, the beach tries to move eastward, once again threatening the "immoveable PCH" with renewed cutting of the wave cut platform base. Continued sea level rise caused by in part by human agency, it's clear that eventually PCH will be forced to migrate as well, eastward along with the reformed beach.
The Creator makes the Sun, the Sun heats the Earth, Things change, People panic, Invent science and deny the Creator, Things Worsen...
Building sea walls increases the rate of erosion 😏
No it just moves it along the coast
It's a dream for many people to own waterfront property,
Be careful what you wish for, water is powerful and constant.
Let the ocean have it all.
Erosion is very natural.
How interesting. The beaches off of Camp Pendleton, how are those faring as there for the most part does not have dense development on it. Definitely a problem with over development.
Wonder how all those projects worked out for them after all the flooding.
Maybe these properties have no value.
The whole place slipping away.
there has been erosion along EVERY coast line,,,ever since there WAS a coast line,,,so what's new about it,,,?,,,
A lot of misinterpretation here, man is at fault here building on cliffs that have always eroded and always will, the waves
clears the beach of sand and then later redeposits it, I've seen this happen many times.
It can't redeposit it because of offshore dredging for sand to use in construction. The sand on the beaches are gonna wash out and fill those voids. I lived at the beach all my life and I remember 30 years ago, it was a long arduous journey from parking at the beach to the water, especially, I you had to carry your stuff. I eventually, bought a surf tag to drive on. Now, the surf tags are useless cause as soon as you cross the dune, you are at the water! I live in Delaware, on the East Coast...
Add a rock wall, along the beach, and before the rock wall plant trees. To absorb the water.
Oh, I forgot: Things worsen; people make videos to quell their guilt, people blame The Creator, the pain gets worse: the Problem remains unresolved!
I've been listening to this since the 70's. Nothing new to me. We are one of the cleanest countries in the world. All this talk about "loosing our beaches" will happen anyway. It's been doing it forever. People build structures near the ocean, on top of cliffs, for the view, and yet the cliff will be worn away, over time, due to weather. They build on the beach and the same thing happens. Yet humans "the most intelligent creature" on earth hasn't learned don't build in a place where the environment will affect your dwelling. And to that man that said to start eating less meat, I say what has that got to do with erosion? Seriously. Humans are made to eat both fruits, vegetables and meat. If you want to eat less meat, fine but don't try to force the rest of us to eat less of it.
NOAA's models for sea level rise are exaggerated. Actual measurements at sea levels are very different then what the models show because they tossing the assumption that the ice cap will melt, based on the assumption that global temperature will keep rising, which neither one is still not proven, some caps are melting, and some areas do get hotter, but they make it sound like it's world wide which isn't true or can't be proven. Assumption, assumption. People hate hearing that, they want the disaster to happen for some reason. Instead of looking at the data and research they just repeat the domesday scenario. What happened to the nuclear plant melt down that would melt a hole through the earth? Yeah that was a real scare back in the day. Now Russians are catching catfish near Chernobyl, animals are thriving there are bugs, plants, etc...did you read about that one...No. and there's no hole in the earth. What about the Mayan 2012 ending of the world ! Y2K? California's beaches are eroding because that's what coastlines do. It all depends on what their made of...sold rock takes longer then loose dirt & rock. I could go on, but I don't think it would change anyone into just doing research...don't believe me go read about it. Educate yourself you'll spend hours on Social Media, but never research your fear...I mean away from mainstream articles! You have to look for the truth today....
The California coast has been eroding for millions of years, its nothing new, hundreds of thousands of years ago the edge was miles out to sea.
Nothing will stop the waves and the ocean from. Overtaking these places but maybe mangroves. Will do that
Moronic corporate banking……..only money could build this ridiculous………
Plant Mango trees, the root systems will hang to the sand and dirt. The roots of other mango trees. Keep planting them until the land is taken card
The sea will take back what it want's, what was it's, it's big enough too !
why not build offshore Jetties 1/8th mile to break down the under tow and large swells
I like the lady in blue.

Don't move by the beach!
You want to build on reclaimed & flood plain. You want to live on the beach. You want to buy overpriced apartments on sand & swamp. There's a price to be paid for stupidity. We play second fiddle to nature. Remember that and grow up.
The message from Gaia - move to a safer place upland - She is changing & will continue to change .
2100? YOU AND I AND THE REST OF THE PLANET WILL NO LONGER BE WORRIED ABOUT COASTAL CALIFORNIA AFTER ABOUT 2050. CHECK IT OUT ON SUSPICIOUS OBSERVERS.
The trees will give us with more oxygen to breathe. Try the trees It might help
This is truly serious. Millions of years ago, the dinosaurs ignored climate change, and look what happened to them. Ex-stink-o.
Duh? Oh they farted?
It will be a huge flood coming up with all of the snow. All you need is an earthquake to make this a total disaster. God bless you all!!!
The woman was right ,talk talk talk burocrats nothing gets done
It's the ocean a being above man
Stop fighting it
Hey without the beach where will my kids hide their drug paraphernalia!! Global Warming! Global Warming! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!
i think florida has a much worse problem than California with beach erosion . but i would NOT!!! live in either one of those states . i live in kansas and i love it .
no its not perfect but i'm happy i don't have the ocean trying to break into my house. having to move because of climate change no doubt in my mind global warming
is a thing . why any body insist on staying in either florida or california is a mystery to me. you can have it. i have a feeling we would not like each other anyway
Im afraid of all ur tornadoes from climate chg. Glad we have videos yet I wish ppl will take cover instead of video it.
Waterfront property may be attractive but it has a way of becoming underwater property.
the sea will take back what is their
Lol
I see there are still deniers, here in the comments. Unreal.😮
Aircrete
This is pay back for all the homeless people you've run off. You have insurance right?
We are living in the book of Revelation and this will only get worse as humanity runs for the lake of fire. I've heard God the Father's voice and God the Son's voice. Many of you are mad at God but are too proud to admit it so you turn bitter and try to take HIS children. You will answer for this, you WILL meet Jesus.
The music drowns out the scientists-super annoying. Had to turn on the captions to hear them. Please remove or turn down if possible!
Same sand migration problems on Lake Erie near Point Pelee (Canada) and
westward.
Breakwater is required aircrew can do this riprap is needed if you're going to repair the coastal areas. Alum has a sedimation action for building up beaches as well. Get it done quit wasting money like you have .
Stop living on wetlands.
Dude learn to edit… having multiple audio tracks with different music mixing is extremely hard to watch. Also the audio levels are way off. Hard to hear people talking over blaring music…
get to the back of the line
Just like in Hawaii, most of these beaches exist because sand was trucked in. You don't know that do you?
To me, climate change is this generations pearl harbor. We have to come together in order to battle climate change. The longer we delay the more damage will be done. Together as a nation we can overcome anything.
No thanks, Comrade...no way is wind and solar going to "Save the Planet"...
So you actually believe humans can control the future and change the climate by what....reverting back to the Stone Age? Solar panels will be useless after the next major sun dimming space impact or level 8 volcanic eruption. There IS NO climate emergency or rising sea problem. Ask a REAL scientist! You`re completely deranged if you believe normal beach erosion is "climate change." These rich jerks simply want public taxes to pay to upgrade their expensive beachfront property. LOL!
@@harrykuheim6107 Idiot kill your children not mine
You swill never win over nature. “Climate change” is money scam.
Eat less meat🤔
