dwindling food/water, land disappearing = massive wars
@@TheGuruStud Orrrr just not being a douche who would rather kill people than let them in.
@@frenchbreadstupidity7054 there's a limit of refugees countries can accept,once that limit is hit,coutries will start wars against eachother for land and resources
@@frenchbreadstupidity7054, how can a country take people in after losing large swaths of land and resources? I realize many people are too pampered to know where their food comes from outside of a grocery store, but resources are finite aka limited... food, shelter, and space doesn’t just fall from the sky. Also a nation and its people are under no obligation to help others, if they do so choose to, it’s due to their own good will; for which the recipient should be eternally grateful. Helping is always optional.
yes that's true

LoL !!! Yeah ! :)💦
if only it was just rich people who live on the water…
It's weird when rich liberals and politicians buy houses along the coast after preaching to everyone else that the oceans are going to rise. Al Gore's house is pretty high up, but Obama and Bernie Sanders have that nice ocean view. Hmm, do you think they believe what they preach? Or are they just trying to get the peasants to stay away?
Hahaha. Thanks for wishing death on me as I cannot afford to leave this hellscape known as Florida and will probably drown in the floods.
That means that you are as big a jerk as they are.
Not only would Australia not be affected much it would also most likely benefit from the in land sea as it could bring new places for living around the new coast
None of these predictions have ever come true. Not one.
@@oledocfarmerClimate change is not a prediction. It's a description of something that has been happening for a hundred years. Those crazy fires in Canada, smoking up the US Midwest and East coast, that's climate change.
If two hundred million people start flooding into Australia, the country might find itself spending its entire GDP on militarized anti-immigrant policing. All the while blaming the poor immigrants for a situation that Australians eagerly participated in creating.
In other words, putting people out of their homes and then telling them to go to hell when they come to yours.

Imagine the mess when the water starts to percolate the surroundings of large old cities and dissolving everything like land fills, industrial dumps, burial grounds, and as they say the list goes on. Some of it will dissolve completely, some will stick together in clumps and enterally come lose and drift away. Has anyone thought of that?
Most things except plastic we make is biodegradable. Dead bodies go through the cycle of life so we don’t have to worry about those. Metal is natural enough that it shouldn’t be nearly as bad as plastic. Plastic is horrible for the environment and will be horrible, but nothing else is really bad.

Australia isn't going to be too strongly affected by rising sea levels (relatively speaking). We're going to get floods from storms though, in between all the droughts.
California can avoid flooding in the central basin by ensuring the beavers are building dams in the right places. Natural dams are better than an made dams. Lots of beaver live in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Some need careful relocation closer to the San Francisco Bay delta.

Yes, I particular appreciate the power turbines the beavers built into the Hoover dam. Not bad for guys who nibble on trees.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 But lots and lots people will may look for refuge.
yea people won't just sit still waiting for the coast to slowly flood over decades... but the climate refugee situation is very real, along with the loss of massive agricultural output leading to unprecedented famines. atlas pro mentioning dams and desalination is also extremely crucial, because resettling hundreds of millions of people is going to strain _all_ infrastructure, the most crucial being access to potable water.
if the current generation continues to do nothing while fighting petty wars over egos, we their children will be bearing enormous costs for their folly - possibly forever. major one-off disasters, even world wars, would seem like miniscule grains of salt on tiny peanuts compared to this potentially centuries-long worldwide crisis.
meanwhile, handling this climate crisis does NOT mean the other stuff would gracefully stop: hurricanes will continue becoming stronger, cold snaps, heat waves, forest fires, all will intensify as weather patterns get increasingly accelerated by systems which tend to feed into themselves and each other. a pandemic could STILL break out while new population centres with stressed out infrastructure attempt to settle refugees amid catastrophic food and water shortages.
things won't just be getting worse... they will get worse on top of worse, in terms of orders of magnitude. if covid scares you now... imagine that with loss of land, rising costs, concentration of population, even more crumbling infrastructure, famines and droughts.

@@kylejay8493 Yes, there are some engineering solutions. Just ask the Dutch, who have built vast arrays of dams to reclaim land.

Don't forget the recent research that showed that the average sea floor sank 11 mm, that threw off their sea level rise prediction.

To people that say that climate change isn't critical. We experience similar ocean level raise and temperature growth like 20 000 years ago when the last ice age was ending.
For many countries it goes somewhat like this: "you'll only lose a small portion of your land, but that's where you have your largest urban population, so good luck relocating millions".
On a positive note most of the coastal population centers in the US are Democrat strongholds.

They build them that high because of storm surge, not because of sea level rise.
According to the "experts" the artic ice should have already melted and flooded the coastal areas around the world since the 80's.
According to me you're full of bull excrement.
When the arctic melts sea level wont rise because the arctic ice cap is floating ice. Every one with basic 6th grade science knows this. So absolutely no "expert" said the nonsense you claim they said. And certainly no one said it would melt in the 80s.

These are using the absolute highest projected sea level rises, which is absolutely not possible on our current warming trend. More than likely it will follow current rates of a few centimeters a decade, or about 1 foot max by the end of the century.
This is total BS even if all the ice in the world melted it wouldn't raise the ocean water level enough to even notice
This is 2 years old; yes, but previously, a dam suggested at the entrance to the San Francisco bay would cause astronomical damage and cause the bay to evaporate.
Does this mean Florida's lighthouses will become off-shore lighthouses?
They will still be marking reefs.
No, Florida is not going to flood in our life time. Eventually the seas will rise and then one day they will recede again and there is nothing we can do to stop that natural cycle. It has happened this way long before man existed.

@@pianobear7491 Rising ocean waters would raise the sea level, no? Meaning that oxygen levels get pushed up. Besides, I, a person living their whole life at sea level, have spent prolonged time living at 10,000 feet without issue.
Edit: Wrote meters instead of feet
Sea level is NOT dependent on CO2, but Solar induced climate change. Sea level rises during the previous 70 year Solar Warm Period is current 3.4MM per year dependent of Solar Oceanic Thermal Expansion during the recovery warming since 1650 and its .9C lowest tempturure for 10,000 years. The Earth is now in a 102 year GSM and Gleissberg cooling period and expansion is more likely to change to oceanic contraction. Just as it has during the entire LIA period 1285 to 1880.
Every time I hear about someone extolling life in Florida or how it is the best place to move to, I think they need to see something like this.
It's a minority, but there is in fact a slow but steady stream of people leaving Florida. Who decide that they have dealt with to many hurricanes or the threat thereof. Years ago I lived on the north side of Atlanta. The audio guy at the church I attended had lived in Florida. I asked why he left? Answer: In one year he had three hurricanes blow through his neighborhood. For him it was time to leave.

This video, is definitely thought provoking. These issues of population relocation, along with the cultural “wars”, that will likely ensue, makes the yammering by national population experts, about the declining birth rates around the world, seem to be a bad thing in their minds.
From what I have seen over the past seventy-six years, not reducing the birth rate, to a point of reducing the population of the world , to a level of 4 billion, by planning for the future, or we can wait for wars over the reduction of usable land, starvation, and diseases caused by continuous condensation of peoples into areas where they have little resistance to the weather and diseases.
A lot of people will die as a result of these changes in the world. If and when the AMOC shuts down, a whole other set of problems will stress the world, possibly to the point of a nuclear winter.
This guy has his facts fouled up no bedrock in New York and Long Island? I guess that’s why some of the world’s tallest construction projects are there
Here I was sitting trying to simulate flood levels in QGIS all day yesterday and now this video! Nice coincidence.

woa
Though excluding the fact the shores are washing away more with the stronger storms as well.
What’s the name of the app that you use to increase sea levels?
Mood
Interestingly, ocean levels do not rise equally around the globe. Latitude has a surprisingly large effect. Meters of difference
That is true and very interesting.
Yeah it is
The reason oceans don’t rise equally around the globe is because the ocean isn’t rising, the land is sinking in some locations and rising in others. It’s very interesting how the rise in the San Francisco Bay Area is actually due to the Bay Area sinking. Because everyone is looking for the oceans to rise because of climate change, they forget to consider that in some areas the land may be sinking. Our planet’s inhabitants have gone climate paranoid and as a result cannot think logically any more.
@@daveandrews9634 yes now this is very interesting
@@daveandrews9634 Filling in some old channels perhaps lol. Actually I think at some time California had a big lake running north and south and they filled it in.
Great video! It makes me think about the engineering option to fill those depressions in North Africa and Australia by building channels to connect them with the sea and also building hidro power plants and desalination plants along the way. This will probably have beneficial results not only for the countries where those new bodies of water will for but for low countries like the Bahamas, Bangladesh and the Netherlands as it will slow rising of sea level. Just a thought but something like this is all ready a practice in case of high waters after heavy rainfall or intense snowmelt - sections of the dikes alongside the river are demolished to allow the water to flood agriculture land instead of causing damage and human casualties in populated areas.
Foolhardy of humans to think they can stop natural occurrences, nature will find a way of balancing it's self all we are doing with projects like this is making that process longer, and in the long term will achieve absolutely nothing 😊
the mass migrations and effects on farmland/desertification will give us the resource wars we only dreamed of in science fiction

And people is surprised buildings are falling.
Three years after this video was posted, everything is, predictably, worse. And the thing is, a place doesn't become uninhabitable when the water reaches your ankles. It becomes uninhabitable when it floods every -- what do you think? -- 5 years?
Wow, this guy ignores a lot of other forces. The Mississippi delta is shrinking because a third of the water has naturally diverted to the Atchafalaya River, which is the northern most part of the Mississippi delta. The Mississippi delta is actually moving to another location on the coast. Imperial valley in California was drained by agriculture. Florida is sinking partly because of the sheer amount of fresh water being pumped out for drinking. He also ignores the 500 meter rise in sea levels that occurred prior to the advent of the industrial revolution.

I think (don't quote me on this), he only mentioned the US because, aside from the Bahamas, it's going to be the most heavily affected country in North America and will have the most climate refugees of all NA countries. Not 100% on that though.
@@TheCoLDKanadian Biggest impact by far will be USA. Canada, while large has a tiny population. When he states "140 million people will have to leave this area" that is over 3 times the entire population of Canada. Also, Vast majority of Canadians live along the 401 corridor in Ontario to Quebec, and terrain is still quite hilly. Lake Ontario (lake that Toronto is on) is at 74m altitude, and is below Niagara Falls, so should be safe, even if the antarctic ice sheet gives out. The rest of the St Lawrence Seaway would not do well, but the seaway is an old fault, so it is deep quick, and not a flat plain like the mississippi. Vancouver on the other hand, is built completely on the fraser river delta, which will be a problem, especially considering it is not dammable like San Fransisco bay

Possible the Med will get a dam between Spain and Morroco if sea levels did get that high as the insane cost would be offset by how much all those countries have to gain.

@@AriOfJuno 80 years is a survivable time span. Unless you mean climate change will kill off humanity that is.
He's just making shit up
@@user-kj2fj8qr9l Sure, if you were born today. Considering that most viewers are probably 20+, living 80 more years is a pretty unlikely scenario.
Meanwhile, in the real world, at most coastal measurement sites where we have long, high-quality, GLOSS-LTT sea-level measurement records, sea-level trends haven't changed significantly in over ninety years.
The graph shown at the beginning of this video, of accelerating sea-level rise, creates that illusion by splicing different kinds of measurements together. That's called scientific malpractice (similar to "Mike's Nature Trick," though he didn't use contrasting colors).
That fact surprises many people, who think that rising temperatures must melt ice and raise sea-levels. But warmer temperatures can only melt ice which is very close to 0°C, which excludes most of the ice that matters. What's more, warmer temperatures accelerate snowfall accumulation on glaciers and ice sheets, offsetting meltwater losses, because warmer air holds more moisture, and also because a warmer climate reduces sea-ice coverage, accelerating Lake/Ocean-Effect Snowfall (LOES).
Currently (and for the last ninety years or so) the globally averaged sea-level trend is so slow that in may places it is exceeded by local factors, like erosion, sedimentation, and vertical land motion. So in some places local ("relative") sea-level is rising much faster than the global average, and in other places sea-level is falling. The globally averaged trend is about 1.5 mm/year, which is about six inches per century, and it is not significantly accelerating.
Virtually no one realizes we're in the middle of an ice age right now.
Apparently you don’t realize that we are in the middle of Global “Warming” not Global “Cooling”
@@GlassDolphin465 you don't realize what an ice age is. An ice age is when you have ice at the polar caps continuously. The normal state of Earth is ice only seasonally. Humans arrived 200,000 years ago and it's been warming ever since but we're still in an ice age. When the South Pole melts it will no longer be an ice age. You're welcome for the free education.

That 'big amount of the continent' which won't be affected is where hardly anyone lives. 87% of Australians live within 50km of the coast. Many towns are already being affected by more intense storms, floods and sea level rise. Inland communities are being bit by bushfires and droughts. Australia is very vulnerable to the climate crisis. Raise your voice.

100% / Great video, - (Very informative & educating!)
Regarding the Bay Area and central valley in California, USA---the narrator did not take into account the possibility of torrential rains caused by atmospheric rivers such as those which inundated the CA coast in early 2023, flooding not only the valleys there, but then the snowmelt from the mountains to the west ALSO contributed to refilling the valley and recreating a lake. So, the water is not only entering from the ocean and so I am guessing that a dam would not suffice to prevent such flooding from occurring. I wonder if similar extreme weather could impact other areas of the world.

A genuine question. If all the ice melts, won't it free up land currently under ice? Specifically Antarctica, parts of Siberia and Russia, and Canada?
Australia honestly could make use of the inland sea, we have big issues with over use of water in that area. Only drawback for us is the north becoming too tropical.
I wonder if the formation of that sea, especially if connects to the ocean, will it increase the amount of moisture in the area and thus you Aussies can have more arable land in South Australia?

that was my immediate thought as well. more usable land that will allow the inhospitable inner landmass to start thriving.

@Chayan Das it evaporates and produces much more inland rain, it would turn deserts green.
@nom deplumeone what??????.... its approx 46 degC out there today.... an inland sea would be evaporating and creating moisture laden air... clouds... these would build up on the western side of the mountain range and drop as rain on the western plains... this water would then flow westerly
