- Climate change protests have taken place across the world. But nowhere in Britain is facing the consequences of global warming quite like Fairbourne, a village on the coast of North West Wales. Residents have been told that their homes will have to be abandoned because of the rise in sea levels.
Tell me why someone that was employed in government doesn't understand that government has no plan.
There is no plan!
Since when is living below sea level dangerous, I'm dutch and my family has lived like that for centuries.
ya bullshitter
Let's see how that works out over the next 30-50 years.
@@vw9502 Yeah I posted about the 1953 north sea flood where 1836 deaths happened in netherlands + 1993 &1995 floods where 240 000 people were evacuated but the post kept disappearing....
@@vw9502 the deaths head/enforcer avatar suggests he is some sort of war criminal/human rights abuser or fascist...to me
Fake. Christ I am not from the Netherlands and far more informed of the history and subsequently flood defences.
My four points plan(e):
• Raise them houses on stilts.
• Wait 50-80 years.
• New Venice.
• Profit.
ᴅᴇᴀʀ ᴍʀ. ɪꜱᴀɪᴀʜ ᴅᴇʀɪɴɢᴇʀ; Good point. In early childhood I used to live in a house on high strengthened stilts & a major flood came! The flood waters went dangerously as high as the stilts. Schools were cancelled : hurrah! We survived. Nationally, our architects & builders need radically to design and build different housing.
Would cost a fortune
Welsh gondoliers?
Gar Sm , in the dead of winter no less.
justjackman Of course, it would cost but first, lives and livelihoods are far more of value than new houses. Secondly, the huge cost will be next to nothing when compared to the loss of an entire community. Further, if we simply let receding coasts drive us ever more inward, there will hardly be much else to live on this island of ours - in the distant future. It is false economy to take the short term view not to spend, not to invest in long term innovative housing.
6:50 Plenty of hot air up there, sticks middle finger up. You gotta love modern journalism lol
just pause it and laugh
Prepared that man is, on his wrist he has a Diver watch
i mean the welsh name for the area translates to english as 'marsh' that kinda says enough to me... glad i live in the valleys, but i'm sure we could start a go fund me to buy some armbands for those dumb enough to by property in flood areas
Yes, even without global warming I wouldn't buy a house below sea level right next to the sea.
What a silly comment!
The valleys have rivers throughout and as farmer's are no longer allowed to clear rivers (EPA rules they must be left alone) from branches, leaves etc rivers have been over flowing fuel to blockages, so if you are on top of a hill there's increased risk of landslides and at the bottom flooding. Also doesn't help is EU rule that farmer's have had to dig up trees growing within a certain distance from crops or they won't receive CAP Payment. Trees obviously soak up a lot of rainwater now water freely flows down to lower parts of land. Policy is good for dry Countries but no good for Wales due to the amount of rain we have. With all these stupid rules no where is free from the risk of flooding!
@@ThePp12345678 my comment is silly? I'm pretty sure judging by yours you've never been to the valleys.
for a start, the majority of farms here in the valleys are highland farms and are predominantly cattle or sheep they don't grow crops and most of the lowland and valley floors are classed as 'brownfield' due to most having old coal collieries there, so are unsuitable for farmland or housing. most of the housing in the valleys is built on the tops or running along the sides of the valleys well above the rivers bellow, (obviously with a few exceptions) and thanks to that crazy thing called gravity water runs down into those rivers below.
flooding is very uncommon here and when it does happen it's usually due to blocked drainage, which usually happens around the fall when the drains become clogged with dead leaves.
so that negates your farm and landslide theories, but still leaves me kind of baffled why you would try and call out someone who actually lives here with such a dumb comment?
@@ThePp12345678 Have you ever been to the valleys? Im from the Rhondda and know for a fact that you are talking from a position of ignorance.
-HEATHEN- : thought it was Moss, like round Manchester ¿?
That estuary is eroding the land , perfectly normal, those houses next to it will need to be abandoned. Poor planning by the council.
The estuary is not eroding the land. Rivers deposit silt. The 'problem' is supposedly sea level rise. I wonder what is happening in Holland?
@@kitemanmusic Well, its more complicated than that. A problem with The Netherlands, or in fact anywhere, includes rivers, is flooding. All their flood defences are in part the sea, but a huge part in relation to the Rhine and the tides.
Huge areas are dedicated to flood water, and act as storage until the tide is low enough for them to open the barrier and release the water.
With rising tides, the issue becomes they wont be low enough to drain. So larger areas are needed to store the river water, as well as larger embankments to hold out the sea. And there is no pumping system that can match the flow of the Rhine. None.
Its likely, those 1000 people in this little village will pale in comparison to the displacement of people in the Netherlands.
@@Spike20101000 Can you not let the river water flow straight into the sea?
Very shocked! A few years ago, we visited this beautiful village, and said to each other, how much we would love to move there. Now, it looks like a blessing, that we couldn't afford it. Really sad for the people there.((
English villagers in Welsh town. But still, there needs to be "planning", but that's not really a British thing.
...plus the fact that Fairbourne is not a historic dwelling but was developed as a seaside resort. The coast there used to be called Morfa Henddol, but of course the Englishman who developed it had no problem in eradicating the local name and giving it an English one which is neither translation or in any way related to the area. I find it ironic that now a bunch of English immigrants now want Gwynedd to save their homes on a piece of land that should not even really be there. Not the best example for dealing with the REAL issue of putting forward plans on how to deal with helping people retreat from vulnerable coastal areas or indeed save villages and towns from the sea.
@@saxglend9439 more xenophobic than racist. Does the welsh name translate to "sea bog field"?
@@W1DO Morfa means Marsh
They commute back to England to work maybe?
@@saxglend9439 There's nothing more racist than colonising another country and renaming all the place names because you're too ignorant to pronounce them properly. That's how the English have abused Wales.
What a. Shocking way to treat those people.
"Shocking" is one word "primitive" is another and "uncaring" yet another.
In what way? They bought homes at sea level where there at risk of flooding whether through climate change or not. Other people don't get paid componsation for buying high risk property on floodplains or eroding cliffs and I fail to see why the tax payers should compensate for their poor decisions. I could make some exceptions like those who brought their council houses, but many of them are retires or people that have bought holiday homes.
They are Brexit sports that cost Brian billions so far.
Screw them, stop subsiding the Welsh!
So the ones who built their houses BELOW sea level are complaining ??? And by the way it won't rise higher here than 20 miles up th3 coast...
fran bran Because 80 years into the future is quite a long time from a present day perspective. But if you think about it for more than two seconds you’d realize that while it may not directly concern you in your lifetime, your children and grandchildren will face the consequences.
Saw the same sort of thing being pushed for ONE bay on the US East coast. Just climate change fear mongering since, while sea levels would not rise uniformly around the world they will within a 100 mile radius. More likely caused by subsidence or erosion but, hey, it's trendy to blame Climate Change for everything including male pattern baldness ...

how much has sea levels risen in the last five years? Is your Farm in danger of submerging? They've got lots of higher ground, couldn't those people have made some roads and houses fifty or a hundred feet or more above sea level than they are now, in that last five years?
Actually our children and grandchildren will suffocate but they will suffocate rich!
But when did sea level begin to rise, when did mans co2 begin to rise, basic question left unaddressed.
It's OK we will be going back into the next ice age in a few hundred years.. Ironically the best way to stop it would be to increase Co2 levels

This wouldn't have been as frought if Britain hadn't privatised land.
This is rubbish, the council just dont want to pay to fix the sea wall.

You live below sea level ... what do people expect ?
Shhh! You'll upset the loonies.
70% of the Netherlands is below Sea Level ... Toadie
Lets have a bit of compassion here, why not?
Sea rise in the last fifty years, not noticed in various ports and harbours.!
I’m not sure that the state/taxpayer/society should be compensating those who bought or built houses below sea level. If it was about a community whose livelihoods had depended on that land for generations then there would be an argument. However, English retirees who’ve made money elsewhere and chosen to relocate to this place because it’s pretty don’t get as much sympathy from me.
Are there *any* Welsh people in this report?
It's a colony. English one that is.
@@stuartjackson8091 Must be even the school kids sound English!
Hasn’t flooded since the 40s😂😂😂 don’t build in a flood zone simple
There are always tradeoffs or sacrifices, which we make, in everything we do. Right now in order to live the way we do we are sacrificing. We are sacrificing the air we breath.
"We need a national UK wide strategy" Nobody can even agree on Brexit never mind the massive effort we need to put into climate change issues. So as per usual no plan will be formed...Until we are all up to our eyes in sea water.
Wasn't Sanfransico Bay once a rolling grass land with hills before it flooded way back?
Erosion happens.. live there at your own risk.
Flood plans are called prime housing land as its flat.....and floods hence the name.
Some people need to go to school and do GCSE geography.
Councils need to know where they are safe to build not the easiest as its the home buyer who foots the bill for poorly planned housing..........and I'm homeless so shouldn't care.. but COMMON SENSE SAYS....
Erosion happens in The Netherlands as well and you don't see anyone deciding to "decommission" Amsterdam.
@@Junyo Amsterdam is useful
@@KilgoreTrout11235 - So, what you're saying there is a scale that you would put all coastal areas on and assign a "value" to each one of them and, depending on how bad its all going to get, you'll let one-after-the-other sink beneath the waves?
Isn't it a much better (and cheaper) idea to make plans for the whole country, spread the cost over many years, and respect every community equally?
I mean, you might be dry now, but once you start throwing people overboard, there will come a time when the water reaches you and there is nobody left to help you.

@@rogerstubbs2731 Well, they lost the lower floor of their houses to the sea!
Why would property owners be entitled to compensation for something that isn't the authority's doing?
@MGazT Or the people who caused it... because decades after climate change was identified as an existential risk, there still isn't an emissions tax.
@Daniel Stovell They would have an interesting case. I don't think the local council is obliged to make an investment that isn't fiscally sound or supported by the majority of those whose wellbeing it oversees. Would be interesting to know how the rest of the council's residents would feel about their taxes being spent to defend indefensible property from a long-known hazard people have ignored.
i can understand they may need to be rehomed at some point, but why do they need to demolish their homes
Most of us over 50 probably won't be here,but yes the UK will shrink
I just read about it today in Indian newspaper which led me here
they bought the houses knowing it was under seal level
straight away Robert nails his colours in his language, 'left wing' he said. rather than looking at the evidence, and the sacrifice people have to make where they live. go away Robert do some research and then talk from a place of knowledge.
The sea level rise will be worse and sooner than anybody is anticipating!
They've been saying that for decades.......
@@paulmarchant9231 I wish you a long and healthy life so you live three more decades to see this come to pass :)
Why should they be compensated?
coleman talks of 'human nature' as though it were a definite unchanging thing. on his tongue, the phrase 'human nature' is an ideological trope.
@HMQ its been proven we have a stronger need n desire for cooperation than aggression across humanity
If Sea Levels were definitely going to rise, no insurance company would insure anything close to the shore. Also no Bank sell mortgages to buy homes near the shore
I’ve visited fair our entire every year of my life on holiday and now the lovely people of Fairbourne are going to be kicked out of their homes and no guarantee of a new home
The estuary was never that full of sand and silt 50 yrs ago. It needs dredging
I think someone's having a laugh. Everywhere you look in that area are eyesores of slag and rock from the old quarries. It would be the cheapest sea defences ever built, certainly one of the last places in Britain that needs to be lost to rising sea levels.
What they mean to say is, they can't afford to maintain the current sea defence.
Looks like a village of oldies and second homes,most will be six foot under,long before they get flooded.
We all need to consume less, or be poorer. Or die.
Insane to see this debate framed as whether people will be willing to give up the nice things they have, as though they will continue to have those nice things if we do nothing. What they stand to lose is so much more than the ability to drive their cars, use their air conditioning and eat pork for breakfast, lunch and dinner. How much of that is going to matter when climate change brings mosquitoes to the UK carrying diseases like Eastern Equine Encephalitis - currently rendering healthy people brain dead within weeks in Michigan... when their children die from that? When hundreds of their elderly relatives die from heatstroke each summer because it is impossible to adapt quickly enough. Ridiculous. Stop trying to score political points and get real.
The reality is, when the sea comes in finally in 80 years’ time as they say, all these retirees would have already passed away. They just cannot give away their homes to their children, that’s all. This must have been foreseeable as they all bought these homes knowing that the houses are below sea level so this fact is already factored into the cheaper price & the council should not be forced to reimburse. When the homes are finally covered/destroyed by the sea after they are gone, architects & planners can then think of designing & building in nearby not-yet-affected areas in a radically different way homes that can withstand future weather & climate change challenges. These people should not be forced, to move away or to allow their homes to be demolished in the meantime. The sea does not look like it will suddenly rise above their homes in their lifetime. Channel 4 is sharpening people’s & everyone’s anxieties, as always. No wonder the mental health crisis in our times. We are bigger than our challenges & sufficiently intelligent to change & adjust to living more wisely with limited resources plus our housing will simply have to evolve!
When UK will start falling apart after Brexit, they should ask Dutch for an annexation. These should be piece of cake for them...
If the Chinese can build the Great wall of China , cant the locals build a 5 kilometer long 10 meter high sea wall, from one hillside to the other hillside of this bay ?
If the sea rises enough that the village is always below sea level, a "sea wall" won't help. When it rains, there's nowhere for the water to go ... and it rains a lot in Wales.
A sea wall is fine when the land is above the low-tide level. Then you can open gates in the wall to let water out at low tide, and close the gates at other times.
@@n43510 What a load of rubbish your comment is. the sea wall would just be like a cliff on the coast line, any affect of water retention would literatually be a drop in the ocean

Interesting that the teenagers today expressed themselves far clearer and more articulately than the middle aged man from the "free enterprise" wonk-tank. He sounded like he was having a hard time actually believing himself. In general, the mumbling defensiveness of those others like him is giving their own losing game away; they are the representatives of the past's failed ideology in the middle of an epoch defining paradigm shift that's happening whether they like to recognise it or not.
Nobel laureate Bob Dylan put it best about the huge 1960s social shift that conservatives were then denying -
" Something is happening here, but you don't know what is / Do you, Mr. Jones ? " th-cam.com/video/we37yX3zpKA/w-d-xo.html
The 60s conservatives were wrong, and they're wrong again now. History is the graveyard record of dead conservative ideas, social Progress always wins through eventually, because it is the direction of natural network forces, the analogue of evolution in biology.

Then, as he said, people don't like making sacrifices/losing resources, so how does he think those others are going to react?

Is fairbourne full of English people
I believe so - with people mainly from Birmingham originally.
M R yes, my family has a house there
On Fairbourne's Wikipedia page: "The Company was founded by Joseph Rank in 1875 as flour milling business when he rented a small windmill.[citation: Burnett, R.G. (2004) _Through the Mill, The life of Joseph Rank 150th Anniversary Edition._ Epworth Press.]" Now, what do you suppose the "small windmill" could have been for? Could it have been used as windmills are in Holland, for pumping out water? To me, this _Channel 4 News_ story is nothing but a fabrication designed to cause hysteria and evidencing a design to support a political agenda. I'm not in the least worried for my family's ancestral estates that are located across the Irish Sea among extensive marshlands of the River Severn in western Shrewsbury, or what used to be called Pengwern, the ancient capital of the Welsh Kingdom of Powys. It's my intention to contact the peerage in regard to the misrepresentations that _Channel 4 News_ has made in this matter.

Will the people of Fairbourne become the first refugees of climate change. What about the east coast, and homes flooded near rivers and in flood plains. Come on Channel 4 you can do better than this. Coastal erosion has been occurring all around the country, and many have already lost their homes. But the plight of these people’s livelihood is very real, as there homes where promised by the ‘capitalists system’ as their offsprings inheritance!
Resources are not endless they finite, so there goes capitalism out the window, end of. Not until people are told the truth about where we as a species are heading, will they listen to pragmatism. All the time the capitalist are allow to offer the future prosperity things will not change. Because people always resist change, unless it’s for the better. That is why China has been so successful at copying us, they are renowned for it, they don’t give to farts about copyrights, much to the frustration of trump. But they also realise the destruction of the planet is equally not good, so they will and can change fast because they have not have the ‘capitalist good life’ for that long. Old habits die hard, and that is very true for us as we were after all the mother of the industrialised world. Ever our infrastructure is so old it make change much harder and costly.
However I believe we need to find away, because the current governmental system does not work, Brexit has clearly demonstrate this. Il conceived, poorly executed, and reluctant to change. They simply thought everyone want to remain.
We need a new system of government to get us out of this mess, and using anew voting system to achieve it. I believe XR might hold the answers to these questions, if the media would allow them a voice, on a daily basis. Unfortunately the media is capitalist owned shop window and cast its spell of optimism to all. Have you not wonder why the news focuses on bad news all the time!, and is then followed by a holiday advert, do you not notice the pedalling of good will advertising for the poor people in the third world, and is then followed by a new car advert. It’s all about conditioning the mind set.
We need to hit the emergency stop but, on everything we do, and we need a plan to do it inside ten years!

Actually it is not about ending capitalism. It is about removing the worst parts of socialism from it which is corporate welfare. For a very long time huge corporations, like big oil, have been given direct and indirect subsidies which go AGAINST free market principles. This is what these self-described free market proponents conveniently leave out. I also appreciate freedom of choice. However, endless growth actually works against choice by exhausting resources in the long run. Advances in technologies indeed are the key to hopefully stopping Earth turning into a lighter version of Venus. Here the market can work but ONLY IF the real cost of doing business is actually reflected in the price of a good or service (see above).
