- Parts of northern Germany are hit by floods after days of heavy rains. Rising floodwaters have put dykes at risk of collapse. Our reporter went to a village in Lower Saxony, which was hit particularly hard and is now bracing for the danger of collapsing dykes

Hope it's getting better now, send prayer from indonesia to the people of germany❤
From Australia , my heart goes out to Germany .💞
What part of Australia?
Thanks.
Floods in the winter, drought in the summer. But this is fine.
This is life, and has been for billions of years.
@@adam.wild. The only ignorance is among those who are brainwashed into believing that natural events have never happened before.
@@daleviker5884Not at this scale and pace globally (counting all sorts of disasters) with each passing year. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
Locally; highest negative freezing temperatures in 6-7 years for a day, then the next day suddenly almost swimming trunks weather.
The next 4 days it switches and so on. Ridiculous. Winters used to be winter, now it’s autumn at best.
Climate change: Weather extremes are on the rise. Not only the extreme of prolonged heat, but also the extreme of prolonged rainfall is increasing.
The heat causes more water to evaporate into the atmosphere. And this extra water rains down and causes flooding.
This could happen again and again and, as climate trends and instabilities intensify as predicted by climate data and modelling, may become increasingly worse
I'm 37 and we never had floods in January. Either in the spring or summer, never in the winter.😅
It's crazy that half of the people believe global warming doesn't exist.
This has nothing to do with global warming. Germany is the champion of soil sealing. Putting more and more houses, roads and commercial buildings in swamp lands. They are also straightening all their rivers so a huge mass of water collects really fast areas closer to the sea level.
Germany has a long history of high water levels, especially in areas near rivers, which they straightet out in the middle ages for the transport of goods.
Go on vacation in Limburg or Regenburg and check the markings of historical flood events. They are far higher then anything you see today.
The german government and media are exaggerating this flood to call out another emergency state because they have a huge budget problem. They tried to illegally use their 60 billion corona credit for governmental green washing programs and failed at the german constitutional court.
it is not that it could happen again, it WILL happen again. over, and over.
it will continue unless you give rivers space to expand in low-economical areas. The Dutch invested 2,3 billion euro in 25 years to prepare their inner waterways to the new climate. No major flooding there.
Uneducated. States should invest more in education. @@Rasarel
They did predict climate change decades, ago. Governments and big. Businessman did not want to listen or act because they didn't want to loose money by making necessary changes in practices policies industry etc. to reduce impact of climate change
My sympathies to the German Peoples. We just went through something like this in the North Eastern US over the summer. My town gets floods as a regular feature every decade. I hope it gets better.
@@adam.wild. Yes, there is some flood per decade in my area Niedersachsen but not that severe. Still only few broken dams but there will be pressure on the soaked dams for weeks to come.
Due to climate change we can expect events like this to be more common. Here in the Netherlands we have a lot of farmers who fight back against policies to protect nature and fight climate change, so I hope they'll soon change their minds. After all, floods, droughts, and other extreme weather can be very damaging to their business as well as explained in this video. I really hope governments all over the world take these risks more seriously and spend more on preventive measures
This stuff has been happening for millions of years, but of course it's so easy to brainwash kids who have no life experience. You'll look back in fifty years and be embarrassed a how gullible you were.
Couldn't agree more.
Here in NZ it is virtually the same story. Some farmers are great but (many) others want to defer any meaningful measures for tomorrow and keep the status quo today!
People n flood-stricken areas clean up and rebuild in the same way in the same places and the government doesn't appear to have a plan to 'flood-proof' the infrastructure.
@@DG-ie5ipi think its more about not making things worse, the solution is to help farmers readjust and not just a few cents per dollar/euro
We have the same in Australia. If the media do not make special webpages 'damage from climate change', collating reports from all over the world, people will not change focus.
Then report on the consequences in the insurance sector.
Not just the farmers, the most popular politician here in NL is a full on climate change denier.
And next thing the rivers are dry in the summer. I think you need more water storage
This should have been wonderful, winter snow that would've gradually melted away in the spring if only it weren't for this climate crisis caused by net excess emissions.
Actually if this all would have been snow, we would have 3m of it all around the place. Way to much to keep infrastructure intact.
Several buildings would have collapsed already in addition.
You can never pinpoint if one particular flood is caused by changed temperatures. You need to look over a bigger region over a couple of years to see if the frequency of floods is changing.
With such enormous quantities, the snow "mountains" would melt so quickly in spring that rivers would burst their banks. There have already been such cases.
Floods here, floods in the UK, earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. It's all happening at once. And then ofcourse war is still ongoing around the corner. Hopefully ppl do a good job of caring for each other as good and as long as possible. Each within our means.
Is it only me, or someone else gets this feeling of living in what once was just a catastrophic movie...😢
The Day After Tomorrow
My sympathies to people in Germany and Europe.. Indeed everywhere.. affected by these floods and awful weathers
I hope everyone is safe.
As far as i know, there are casulties. It did rain for almost a month straight, so we saw it coming. Greetings from lower saxony.
Very rainy winters also in southern Sweden, since 2015..2016..
Makes sense, in Bavaria we call the region where the floods happened, Southern Sweden
Earth balances itself, with us or without us.
You know whats even scarier , this is only the beginning and knowing the Netherlands Germany Belgium are all flood risk countries Makes me wonder where one would go in emergency
I'm pretty glad to be living in Scotland. Might need to move to the Highlands in the next decade.
@border304 were you not here in October? There were floods all over the East Coast
@@jduncan4637 Not where I am though.
It looks the same in Tewkesbury and Loughborough in the UK.
Yes, apart from, that Lower Saxony is two and a half the size of the whole of Wales...
This is heartbreaking 💔
If you don't invest in water management, you will get this every year. The Dutch invested 2,3 billion euro's in 25 years in giving space for the rivers in the winter. There is hardly any major flooding. Only some flooded meadows and basements.
My colleague from Holland just told my they had a dam broken, and a polder flooded. And the dam broke on the same place as had been broken two years earlier.
Very depressing. 😔
😂
Autobahn is flooded that's a tragic tragedy ... good bless the autobahn and the victims if the flood...
What is moire depressing is that there are people who respond to your empathy with laughing emoticons or jokes. I for one agree with you.
@@peterpanini96Don’t worry. The Autobahn is blocked by farmers this week. So they protect everybody by protesting.
If only scientists would have predicted climate change and its effects decades ago when we could have prevented it.
LOL. And still governments are pushing back on the science and evidence
You’d still travel by horse and wouldn’t have a device you wrote this comment with 😊
@@denisdenisov4036 So you trust the scientists who develop your phones and cars but not the ones who study our planet thats weird.
@@denisdenisov4036 sure coz trains and bicycles didn't exist 50 years ago.
And We didn't need to overproduce for decades for scientists to invent networks like the internet and engineers to develop mobile tech.
@@Shaddarhim Studying a problem doesn't make it go away.
God Almighty please help your children, help your people and stop the rain. My prayers n sympathies to those affected
I sometimes wonder, with the number of flood occurrences in the world, at what point will insurance companies and governments no longer be able to cover the damages?
May allah help for in Germany
After a summer of drought seems like water came with a delay.
Humbling experience, a blessing.
So people choose not to help their own in a time of crisis? Is that the case?
In wide areas the land is still under water and will be pushing against the dams for weeks to come. More land cant be entered by machines since November and some more months will go by before it is solid enough not to sink in with the tractor.
I think maybe they can try to build up rivers among/between the farm fields.
Prayers for all affected
This needs to be put in context. Gusts and flooding are a seasonal occurence in north Germany.
After years of draught we now have extreme amounts of water. Weather is getting more extreme. At least our groundwater levels are refilled now...
@@Darkness251 This I didn't dispute, nor that the water levels are higher than usual. But acknowledging gusts and flooding are seasonal, the question arises as to whether preparations were adequate. (Please note I did live until recently in Niedersachsen and Hamburg.)
Yes, but this time it was so much and so long that the dams for the rivers were turned into mudbanks.
We had rainwater coming down the rivers, and sorm flood on the north sea pushing water in the estuaries of the rivers.
Here in the Philippines we are used to flooding but the difference is that the water is not too cold and people are coping with it in a normal way. I bought my wife new rubber boots 👢 or Gummistiefel to fight the flooding.... 😂
The issue is that the houses are not made to survive floods. So it could be the case that a house gets inhabitable and building a new house costs 200 000 €.
Parts of Hamburg also get flooded regularly but the houses that are there are built to survive flooding.
Infiltration wells should be constructed in strategic places to recharge water naps and this will allow to store water in the under ground.
Flood lands should be restored because they can absorb and retain water better.
I think maybe they can try to have more uncover ground in the cities, or used stones made roads or to plant more plants in the city also the countryside.
mother earth give a lot water to germany and i south italy sicily has drought
Less even distribution and more severe adverse weather in certain areas, that's climate change for you....
Good to see they are using petrol pumps. Not trying to use electric pumps.
This reminds me of Iowa in the summer of 1993, when the Raccoon river flooded the water plant for the state capitol of Des Moines. We had no water service for eleven days and the entire state turned into a shallow inland sea that year. It's strange to hear they still have crops in the field, they're maybe a thousand km further north than Iowa's northern border, and our harvests would be counted as late if they lasted into November.
It's winter crops.
They don't have crops in the fields. But the damage to the soil will probably result in a poor harvest this year.
@@Junakase Wrong, of course they have crops in the field. Why wouldn't they? Winter Wheat is sown in fall and stays until spring.
@@moos5221 They certainly don't. Winter wheat only starts growing in spring. However, the seeds are already in the ground. So they might suffer from the flooding. Perhaps some affected farmers will try switching to summer wheat instead. In any case, the probability of a poor harvest is going to be pretty high.
@@Junakase maybe we use the word "crops" differently. as i said, there's winter wheat on the fields, which has been sown in autumn and it is now spoiled, so it's a complete waste. the farmers have to resow something else after they assessed the damage and prepared the fields when the water and snow/ice is gone.
I am living for 42 years in Germany, there is always flood in the northern part. There is a high water mirror so a fews days rain and the area is flooded. That is suffosed to be snow but it is not cold enough.
Sorry, but it has never been that bad as it Is recently, most of those flooded villages,towns, cities had never been flooded before, this is why there are all these dykes, pumping stations, flood gates, barriers etc...
This time it was the combination of four storm surges, melting water from the Harz mountains and permanent rain since three weeks...as the north sea is pushing inlands, the rivers, streams etc can't get rid of their waters towards the sea...
Edit typo/autocorrect
Greetings from Bremen 👋
The flooding usually happens in the spring when all the winters snow in the Alps melts, it's not normal to have flooding in December and January.
This is a global warming problem.
@@saba1030I just can't get these deniers!!
you mean table, not mirror. And in 30 years I have never seen the water table this high.
@@matthewbaynham6286 The Alps are a long way from Niedersachsen!
Either think of it as once in many years or once every year. To come up with any protection, right?
Why the weather hates Germany so much?
Weather was tired beating up poor countries. So it tried central Europe for a change. But that will change to. It's all about change....
Climate change.
Save animals too!!!
What I am surprised is that northern Germany has high latitude of more than 50 degrees, but its temperature in January is above freezing. With similar latitude such as city of Harbin its temperature is currently between -20 to -30 degrees.
The gulf stream heats up Europe, and it leads to milder winters compared to North America or continental Asia. Especially regions with low elevation and in close proximity to the sea (like northern Germany) have very mild climate in general. This leads to northern Germany having warmer winters than southern Germany.
But we experiencing also rising temperatures in Winter. 20 years ago, minus degrees and snow were pretty regular, even in northern Germany with the maritime influence, Just Not as much as in the south.
But the over the Last years snow is becoming a pleasant surprise and sometimes flowers are bloming until january😮
@@fjeldfross9327
Actually one variety of my roses have still had flowers until yesterday...
@@fjeldfross9327it was never going to stay that way
Is this going to affect the GDP!$?
Soggy socks from the soggy bottom boys
can they use sandbags, a lot of sandbags around houses
If the dams brake there wouldn't be enough sandbags for single houses. By the way, did you know that there's a shortage of sand?
"Hau ab, dann können wir weiter machen hier!" People were mad because they had to stop helping each other. Only for the chancellor unimportant visit .
So it begins.
Save the ethanol😅
God bless

Blame the voices!

Sinking?
Climate Crisis. :(
Nothing to see here, just normal rain, pass through, global warming? No, no, it's just rain, instead of snow, everything is gut.
And then it will freeze

This reminds me the quote “winter came unexpected”. This problem is not new to Germany, but the enorm taxes, which Germans working people pay, are not reinvested back into the country, rather donated…
True, it´s a shame how all the money goes to the ultra rich 1% or so, who have been pocketing at least 80% of all generated wealth for quite a few years / decades, whilst evading taxes at the same time. Just imagine they´d pay their fair share like they do in other countries!
To tackle flood you'd have to restore natural flooding areas over the whole length of rivers. Costs a lot of money.
Germany has huge amount of money. The only problem is it is not reinvested into the country.
@@blanky_napWho do you mean by "Germany ". The government, businesses, tax payers?
@@halberderdier8073 the government. Small business (like hairdressers, etc) are closing, tax payers “loose” up to 40% of salary to taxes and the poor people, whose houses are damaged or destroyed by the flood will restore them by paying from their own pockets. And the funny thing is that next year or in a couple of years the flood will come again, like no one has ever seen this problem ever before
no one asking - why? all this extreme weather eventing was predicted
Must be the Lord's punishment for all those gay marriages. /s
There are those who know... why would they ask. And there are those who deny... they clearly never would asked at all but think "everything is fine" or even that this is all the fault of "links-grünversiffte Sozialisten"... or something like that. Cause they probaby did too much rain dances, I guess.
With such events becoming more frequent and severe, with costs in the billions, investing billions in flood defenses and flood management is an unfortunate reality of our modern world shaped by climate inaction.
The state coffers are empty. That's why there is only the principle of "hope". That the event will not happen.
On one hand you cannot afford to do it.
But on the other, you cannot afford not to.
It's look like mini Delhi 😂

this is not funny

And more pumping releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere... Leading to more unstable weather everywhere.
These pumps emit a miniscule fraction of what industry, traffic and aviation do.

Everyone needs to repent.
Go on. Repent. And start doing something about CO2 emissions.
