Florida is in an even worse situation: if all the ice on Earth melted, Florida would be the only state to be 99% underwater. New Orleans is really what's sinking the most probably, considering it's below sea level, but the rest of Louisiana is relatively safe. Remember, I said "relatively." Don't start shooting me down in the replies :)
@@michaelcerean1990 Because like, fuck protection against the water for all states that will be, and are already, under threat because of global warming/rising sea levels. Right? The US should care about it's coast/water defences, like some countries, including the Netherlands know for years. Your biggest threat isn't some random terrorists, i mean, it may be because the things the US is doing globally. But for every country with a coastline, the water is your biggest threat, just saying. Better invest in some defences against the water.
@@dewisselspeler9080 But what if we create the biggest artificial Snow machine on the planet, put it on top and let it run 24/7 all year long ? Problem solved
still probably cheaper than parcel force, who would then damage the mountain in transit and refuse compensation on the grounds you didn't pack it correctly.
Also I'm sorry my voice sounds kind of weird here. I just moved into a new apartment so my recording space was different this time around. I'll have it fixed by next week!
And we have bike friendly roads with bike paths on almost every single one of them and a 60 years history of the government and the people supporting bike useage
@@-gemberkoekje-5547 that's really good. NYC is one of the worst places you can ride a bike. The bike Lanes we have just end sometimes, are blocked, sometimes by police cars, broken and drivers lose space with bike lanes when there's already little space. Pretty bad over here but we still do it.
But we do have to deal with a lot of wind on wide open roads, and a lot of bridges and tunnels/viaducts! The main reason why bikes are huge here is because it simply is the best mode of transportation. On top of that, the entire city infrastructure is geared towards cyclists, and even traffic laws are. If you as a cyclist run a red light and hit a car, the car will be put at fault at first until it eventually becomes clear you ran a red light and are at fault. It's like this so cyclists are protected, cars can't treat them as if they aren't there like they can in America (and many other places). There's also plenty of roads that are for cyclists and cars, but the surface is red and signs saying that cars are guests on this road.
But by far the wisest choice for the Netherlands is not to blow, what, €6 quadrillion on a mountain, but rather €50 billion on wind parks. That's me being generous here. Also, think about it - the main method of draining lakes into polders? Windmills. The main way to crush wheat and other raw agricultural products? Windmills. The Netherlands has always used wind from the very first polder, so to invest that amount into building wind parks is not as illogical as you think.
Ooops. I just sent out a notice for everyone to send all of their waste heading for their own landfills to the Netherlands instead to build the mountain. They all seemed really excited. I guess it's too late to stop it.
No windmills are those old wood structures that use wind to, for example pump water out a lake, or grind wheat for bread. Wind turbines are for making power from wind, you know those tall white poles with 3 blades
+Theren Stormwind And yet, me and my faily have been bégging for the government to put solarpanels on our (Weesp) citie's appartments and skyscrapers. And they say it's too expensive. So what..building a mountain is cheaper?!
A dutch mountain: - to make a promise you cant keep. - to gift someone, something the person has never seen before. - a bump in the road e.g. "Yes I'll be at the party" said Hank, knowing it was kind of a dutch mountain. Or "This road is full of dutch mountains!"
The massive amount of energy and labor that would go into a project like that almost seems to negate the fact that they would put a few wind turbines on it.
I'm Dutch and lived in the Netherlands my whole life and I can confirm, we would have no clue what to do with our own private mountain. If you want to help us, give us enough materials (sand and dirt) to raise our ground's surface level.
The task seems hopeless. Once there was a small city on the Polish coast that is now 3-5 meters below the sea as it got flooded in the 15th c. People moved higher and forgot, but it seems the Dutch have not much space to move higher.
It'd literally be cheaper for them to buy a mountain from France, build a high speed maglev train, and subsidize it's operations for free rides, than to actually do this
D23 Speed Let‘s do the math: A Toyota Corolla roughly occupies a volume of 11.84 cubic meters and weighs about 1225 kg. 1. _How many Toyotas would you need to fill out the mountain and how much would that weigh?_ You would need about *650 million* Corollas to build such a mountain. Together, they would weigh about *796 million tons* . 2. _What if you want a two-kilometer tower of Corollas stacked on top of each other?_ You would need to stack *1365 Corollas* , which would weigh about *1672 tons* . The cars would cost about 29 million euros (assuming we‘re using the cheapest variant of the newest Corolla).
America and china: we need to build walls Russian:I will make nuclear weapons Italy: I will make pizza The Netherlands: I will make a Mountain! Everyone:HAHAHAHA Austria: why are Dutch people trying to move my Mountains
There's a mountain - sorry hill in Townsville Australia that reminds me of this. It's about 3 metres too short to be a mountain, but they wanted a mountain, so they added dirt to make it one & renamed it from "Castle Hill" to "Castle Mountain" then a storm hit & washed their mountain away. So they tried again, but it washed away again, eventually (or rather currently, who knows what the future holds) it was accepted as just a hill - and named "the tallest hill in the country"
YES. I feel like everyone calls themselves Dutch in the Netherlands, whereas the world calls them the Netherlands, and then you have Britain here just saying Holland.
Holy crap! This is the best idea ever! Let’s do it, guys! We’ll dig up Belgium and use it to create our awesome, super-duper, winter sports mountain ^^ Aaaaand...we’ll use the leftovers to build a wall around Frysland ;)
What about a hollow "mountain"? It would be a very large and tall building with a green roof covering the entire surface. Not only would this use less than 5% the material of a solid mountain, but also there would be billions of square feet of space usable inside in the skyscraper.
I would think they would want to build smaller versions of these along the coast to block rising tides from swallowing up their land that's at or below sea level.
I think my favourite part is the simple justification of your athletes don't want to go to Austria and this is the easiest option. I suspect the guy who made this pitch is a Doctor like Doctor Pepper is a Doctor.
Mount Scenery (Saba) 877m tall, is our highest point, but everyone always forget the cute little islands we have. its like saying Hawaii isnt a state of the USA.
I was actually rather interested when they first proposed this. While they did first propose to make it massive, pretty soon (after they calculated that the surrounding land would drop 100m), they switched their proposal to a hollow mountain, which also dropped the cost massively. IIRC, they spend more then a year researching various implementations and managed to get a large number of companies to actually help them. The inside of the mountain would then serve as indoor farming and energy storage. Unfortunately after one year of research, they concluded that it wouldn't be profitable. However, just the insinuation that it might have been really just awed me.
CringeTV: Um. OK, I don't believe this theory but I won't judge. SylenDraws: I agree w No Anime and plus they were built in EGYPT not the NETHERLANDS. Theres just a small 4886 KM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAZA AND AMSTERDAM..........
@@sachinsir9004 Nepal can't really be compared to Netherlands considering the difference of continents, surroundings, plate boundaries and distance. On the other hand Netherlands are close to both Switzerland and Austria linguistically, culturally and in terms of distance.
Instead of saying “insane plan” can you say “insane idea” because no one actually planned to do this, they never did, it was a idea, no one was going to do it at a planned time either.
Dutch logic: forget about going to Mars. Imma build a giant pile of sand costing trillions and possibly put the entire country in danger just so my athletes don't have to travel to Austria.
Righteous1 My brother would become 212 cm tall if it wasn’t for his knee surgery ;p my sister has had a knee surgery too but I probably won’t grow bigger than 6’7 so I don’t need one myself
Taller people have more children on avarage? I see how we have so many people on Earth with those giant Indians, the 7 foot tall Latin Americans and especially... with all those incredibly tall Chinese it's no wonder!
Holly, Michigan decided they needed something to do on the weekends, so they built a mountain to ski on. It's more in the range of 300 meters than the 2 kilometers in the Dutch plan, but you've gotta start somewhere.
I visited the Netherlands and when getting directions from a local, he said we would turn right at the top of the hill. We went up a speed bump, and the road no longer went straight, so we were very confused for a moment. The speed bump, or, perhaps generously, a ‘slope’, was a hill for them.
Well, he said 300 meters, not feet. I read somewhere that a geographic feature has to be at least 1000 feet higher than the surrounding terrain to qualify as a mountain. Three Hundred meters is 984.25 feet, so it would still not qualify as a mountain.
this 'amazing feet of engineering' clearly effected coastlines elsewhere, it took sediment out of the (ocean) elsewhere causing increased erosion on other coastal areas. Not saying that this is because of it (very well could be) but britain has been facing increasing amounts of erosion along its coasts over the last 50 years
RSP Yes but a big reason why the Dutch reclaimed so much land from the sea was because of some big disaster that happend there which involved parts of their country being completly flooded so the British getting a bit of erosion is only a small price to pay, espacially when the Dutch don't even have to pay for anything of it.
Similar here in Bangladesh. We hardly have any mountains and the country is naturally gaining land on its south (bay of Bengal). The country is the world's largest deltaland and getting technical support from Netherlands. Cheers!
Meanwhile in Copenhagen they're building a 100 meter tall ski resort on top of a powerplant so that's something XD. Heck It's the first structure you see coming from Malmö now while crossing the Øresund Bridge
Not to mention mountaintops without protection will weather by around 0.1 to 0.3" each year. That's why the Appalachian mounts are under 6,000 ft, while the Rockies are 12,000+. If you built a mountain above the tree line, you'll need to continually replace the lost rock. Mt Everest, for example, shrink by approximately 1/4" per year. The only reason it doesn't lose height is because it gets replaced by the uplift of India continuing to drive into Asia. Same with the Alps
Here in Italy the problem is the opposite, we have so many mountains everywhere that we cannot build and grow crops as we are able to do, but on the other side these mountains feed our echosystem and give us an extraordinary cultural diversity 🏔🇮🇹
Really ? Oh , I think that you confuse things. So far I have heard the UAE make artificial islands , but they are (as an oil state) very rich. So do they also make mountains ? Or you mean that they have make artificial land in the Netherlands ? lol
Marla Uhmmmm... Well I remember hearing somewhere that UAE plans to build mountains in UAE. IDK why. Maybe they are bored of building islands I don't know

Actually it would have my support, it just needs to be shaped like the shit emoji.

Invade Belgium, take over those Ardennes and we have mountains.
Easy and affordable.
How the hell does our government want to do that

It's a private investment joke, the government has nothing to do with it

It was just an idea by some idiot.

Allura Ambrose forgetting about 13 km² and not even 2000 people is definitely not the same as forgetting about 16.625 km² and 1.5 Million people.
Yeah it’s in the kingdom of the netherlands, but not actually in the netherlands lol

Ahhhh what sweet I'm Dutch thanks❤️
Me a dutchman: it's over I build the high ground
Belgium: You underestimate my power!
I was actually rather interested when they first proposed this. While they did first propose to make it massive, pretty soon (after they calculated that the surrounding land would drop 100m), they switched their proposal to a hollow mountain, which also dropped the cost massively. IIRC, they spend more then a year researching various implementations and managed to get a large number of companies to actually help them. The inside of the mountain would then serve as indoor farming and energy storage.
Unfortunately after one year of research, they concluded that it wouldn't be profitable. However, just the insinuation that it might have been really just awed me.
*talks about mountain sports*
*shows a boxer training*
boxers train in high altitudes
Joop the best boxers dont
idk I am not really an expert on it, though I heard most of them like to train high up :P
Mr. Blyat
They're referring to boxers and runners training at higher altitudes, whichever can lead to better oxigen intake.

It does make me feel low key kinda smart though

We have built mountains before, they're called pyramids
Those were just pointy hills with a couple rooms in the middle.
Aliens built those.

CringeTV: Um. OK, I don't believe this theory but I won't judge.
SylenDraws: I agree w No Anime and plus they were built in EGYPT not the NETHERLANDS. Theres just a small 4886 KM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAZA AND AMSTERDAM..........
Ethan Eblaghie I don’t believe your theory
2km is a joke for Austria or Switzerland
Not really for austria they kinda got the low alps
Ever heard of Nepal....we have 8 highest mountain in world's top 10
Mexico have a lot of cities above 2k, indeed a lot of Mexico’s population live above 2k lol
@@sachinsir9004 Nepal can't really be compared to Netherlands considering the difference of continents, surroundings, plate boundaries and distance. On the other hand Netherlands are close to both Switzerland and Austria linguistically, culturally and in terms of distance.
When did you build them?
Instead of saying “insane plan” can you say “insane idea” because no one actually planned to do this, they never did, it was a idea, no one was going to do it at a planned time either.
Me: sees my crush
Me 2 seconds later: 2:00

We do have an actual mountain, in Saba, a small island in the Carribean which is technically a Dutch county.
Yes let us spend 7 quadrillion dollars for a big lump of rock. Yes yes carry on

Peet Lelieveld no, the us budget isn't even a trillion
StingLikeAButterfly FloatLikeABee dude... Sarcasm...
If they built more than 5 000 meters high mountain, it will trigger alp nations
I genuinely love the netherlands so much, easily my favorite place on earth
Oh, finally😩, a mountain in my country😂
I think one mountain in middle of flat would look pretty stupid
NightPhoenix652 You did not have to say that
It has a mountain every time you stand up
NightPhoenix652 imagine if Netherland is a chair and you tries to sit on it. What would happen if there is a mountain at the middle?
Dutch logic: forget about going to Mars. Imma build a giant pile of sand costing trillions and possibly put the entire country in danger just so my athletes don't have to travel to Austria.
I was so excited to see this video pop up. I've always wondered if you could build a mountain.
Lol they got desperate. 2000, no? 1000? 300?...
They ended up just building a sandcastle
No wonder they're the tallest people. Evolution because the lands are so flat.
Being tall is the only way they can keep their head above water level during flooding ;-).
Righteous1 My brother would become 212 cm tall if it wasn’t for his knee surgery ;p my sister has had a knee surgery too but I probably won’t grow bigger than 6’7 so I don’t need one myself
Its the diet and the adaptation to the weather.
It's also the terrain, because when you look at all the mountain people in the world. They are the shortest people.
Taller people have more children on avarage? I see how we have so many people on Earth with those giant Indians, the 7 foot tall Latin Americans and especially... with all those incredibly tall Chinese it's no wonder!
Na, I don't need a base on mars, but a mountain so I can go skiing at home, is a verry good investment!
Jokes about Dutch topography are always so flat...
Finkel - Funk racist
I think it’s more likely that the Dutch will win the World Cup 2018 than building this Mountain.
Andre atleast its called football and not soccer
Is that a bet?
Skip sending people to Mars, we need a mountain asap
The tallest human, on the flattest land.
Holly, Michigan decided they needed something to do on the weekends, so they built a mountain to ski on. It's more in the range of 300 meters than the 2 kilometers in the Dutch plan, but you've gotta start somewhere.
I visited the Netherlands and when getting directions from a local, he said we would turn right at the top of the hill. We went up a speed bump, and the road no longer went straight, so we were very confused for a moment. The speed bump, or, perhaps generously, a ‘slope’, was a hill for them.
300 tall "mountain"
That's lower then ur current highest point...
Yeah but it would cost only $880,000,000,000,- ! :)
H Kr
Still more than your budget
Well, he said 300 meters, not feet. I read somewhere that a geographic feature has to be at least 1000 feet higher than the surrounding terrain to qualify as a mountain. Three Hundred meters is 984.25 feet, so it would still not qualify as a mountain.
that's lower than the altitude on which my house is lol

this 'amazing feet of engineering' clearly effected coastlines elsewhere, it took sediment out of the (ocean) elsewhere causing increased erosion on other coastal areas. Not saying that this is because of it (very well could be) but britain has been facing increasing amounts of erosion along its coasts over the last 50 years
RSP Yes but a big reason why the Dutch reclaimed so much land from the sea was because of some big disaster that happend there which involved parts of their country being completly flooded so the British getting a bit of erosion is only a small price to pay, espacially when the Dutch don't even have to pay for anything of it.
im just saying the north sea is a system and reclaiming all this sediment will negatively affect other areas and should be accounted for.
NOOOO. NETHERLANDS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE YOU DONY NEED A MOUNTAIN
Too late...Netherlands having "work done"; tired of being flat.
Similar here in Bangladesh. We hardly have any mountains and the country is naturally gaining land on its south (bay of Bengal). The country is the world's largest deltaland and getting technical support from Netherlands. Cheers!
I love how I as a German can actually understand most of the comments, Dutch is like German with a very funky accent
german is like dutch but with the difficult rules in other parts of grammar.
Meanwhile in Copenhagen they're building a 100 meter tall ski resort on top of a powerplant so that's something XD. Heck It's the first structure you see coming from Malmö now while crossing the Øresund Bridge
Not to mention mountaintops without protection will weather by around 0.1 to 0.3" each year. That's why the Appalachian mounts are under 6,000 ft, while the Rockies are 12,000+. If you built a mountain above the tree line, you'll need to continually replace the lost rock. Mt Everest, for example, shrink by approximately 1/4" per year. The only reason it doesn't lose height is because it gets replaced by the uplift of India continuing to drive into Asia. Same with the Alps
The tallest things in the Netherlands are the people
So we are finally going to replace Almere?
Here in Italy the problem is the opposite, we have so many mountains everywhere that we cannot build and grow crops as we are able to do, but on the other side these mountains feed our echosystem and give us an extraordinary cultural diversity 🏔🇮🇹
Poor Netherlands. But I kinda remember hearing that UAE also wants to build mountainS
Really ?
Oh , I think that you confuse things. So far I have heard the UAE make artificial islands , but they are (as an oil state) very rich.
So do they also make mountains ? Or you mean that they have make artificial land in the Netherlands ? lol
Marla Uhmmmm... Well I remember hearing somewhere that UAE plans to build mountains in UAE. IDK why. Maybe they are bored of building islands I don't know
Oh okay
Marla the dutch does that kind of work in uae with ships that suck sand and blow it into a place to make it become land
