15 Places We Will Lose to Rising Sea Levels

About 71% of the planet is covered in water. No matter which way you cut it, though, that number seems to be growing at a pretty alarming rate. The ocean is getting bigger and sea levels are rising around the world and it seems like no one is immune to it. Cities can build up to avoid it, but the massive buildings only bog us down further. Beach communities are built for beautiful ocean views only to fall back into the sea. It can be scary, but there are always solutions. So join us for today’s video, as we countdown 15 places we will lose to rising sea levels.

Go back 100 years, and compare photos of the Statue of Liberty . The water line is exactly the same as today...

[jahe]

I doubt any of these will ever sink.
If any of them do it won't be from rising sea levels, it will be from being built on unstable soil.

[ginnys]

Sure. And Miami was supposed to be underwater 20 years ago. BS.

In the Philippines, the place will sinking by rising sea levels was Metro Manila, Pampanga and Bulacan 😊😊

Bulacan become international climate headline when Pariahan, a village in Bulacan has starting sinking since 2000 and become one of Southeast Asia’s Sinking Province and not only Bulakan, many towns in the province will lose by sea levels like Obando, Meycuayan, and Santa Maria 😊😊

After the earth has done its polar flip water will be in places it wasnt stay safe everyone

[harleydavidsonnutjob]

Oh bullshit!! I've been to many of these places and no signs shows anything has changed.

Thank you. We spend billions every year on coastal beach enrichment and now the pace of sea level rise has surpassed our ability to restore things back to normal. The Outer Banks of North Carolina and The Florida Keys have their days numbered.

Let's hope it doesn't happen very quickly and catastrophically... 🙏🙏🙏

[JJhumanbeingst]

AGAIN! IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WON"T LIE ABOUT?!!!

[boogieman]

Metro Manila in Philippines should be in top 5 because of frequent flooding whenever monsoon rain comes in fact some areas remained flooded and became fish ponds!

[benjamincornia]

I will try to visit as many of these places before they are gone.

2:13 That ain't New Orleans, that's Charleston, South Carolina. I should know since i live in Charleston. Ya whiffed that one, Top Fives.

[markuskonway]

There is Doggerland and caves with decorations but the entrance is now far below sealevel….

[markuskonway]

Gravity usually works for sewers etc, so how these sinking cities cope?

[iteerrex]

We have been warned for decades, and yet there are videos of famous beaches from the 70s. Check for yourself and compare it to todays levels.

I like your channel, but you have to get away from your fear mongering over climate change.

[kelvincannon]

"Experts warnings" don't mean jack, they got "experts" they can tell you when your city's gonna be six feet under, but it's a conflict of interest, for even "experts" to point-out "unnecessary vulnerabilities" in plain-sight, hence them being "normalized" Indonesia's Jakarta sinking fast!

[YouandLife.]

Venice, the enchanting 'Floating City, ' is sinking inch by inch. But as this historic gem faces its watery fate, could it become a modern Atlantis? Stay with us to see the extraordinary measures that might save it—or let it sink. 00:34

[Rebecca-db]

So that last one all they care about is saving the capitol think about that

[tuvia]

Good video, however, please stick to one unit of measure. Inches or feet, okay. Millimeters to meters, okay. Pick One of these.
