Sea levels are rising due to climate change. Many coastal cities are at growing risk of flooding. Architects are trying to react to this development with new ideas, such as floating cities. But this concept is not without its problems.
Architect Koen Olthuis is constructing a floating city in the Maldives, sustainably cooled with sea water. In the Netherlands, Sacha and Jan live in a waterborne section of the Steigereiland neighborhood. It’s based on a complicated feat of engineering – but also depends on cooperation and solidarity. If one home is too heavy, it raises the one next door. Yet Sacha and Jan like its collaborative nature. The residents of the floating neighborhood all love living by the water, not far from the heart of Amsterdam.
In Germany, a University of Kiel project goes even further. Biologist Martina Mühl is researching the possibility of implementing aquaculture very close to home, so residents can tap their own fresh local supply of fish and seafood.
Hamburg and Bremen have been responding to rising tides by constructing ever higher levees. But soon even this will no longer be enough to cope with the growing impact of climate change. This documentary shows possible alternatives to levees and how we might be able to cope with the rising sea levels in the future.

About The Author
Maldives is a corrupt island.
Amazing rising SEA LEVEL & receding Lakes & Pond level , need DIVERSION ?
Many builders and marketing firms contribute to documentaries to spike sales .
Do something research to build the climate control system by controlling the wind, geothermal, humidity, ocean current, they all connect to be the climate system, do the right, will vanish many
many climate disaster
THE ESARTH WILL NEVER STOP CHANGING AND AGGING LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. FOR INSTANCE SINCE THE: SILURIAN – CARBONIFEROUS CHRONOLOGY OF THE DEVONIAN PERIODS THE EARTH HAD CHANGED ONE MILLION TIMES, BECAUSE LIFE IS ENERGY AND NEEDS TO BE REFUELLED BY THE FORCES OF OUR UNIVERSE, THUS THE DISASTERS ARE THE NEGATIVE OUTPUT OUT OF EVERY RECIPROCATED FORM OF ENERGY.
HOWEVER. IN OUR TODAYS RIP OFF TIMES THERE'S A NUMBER OF RAVENOUS GROUPS AND SHADY GOVERNMENTS & MEDIA WHO'S STRIVING TO FABRICATED A NEW EXTREMELY-LUCRATIVE SCHEME VIA FEAR BY VICTIMISING OUR ENVIRONMENT AND HENCE ANOTHER SHADY GROUP OF SOLUTION IS NEEDED THAT SO CALLED ALARMIST-SCIENTISTS AND LAWYERS WHO'RE WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BY TELLING THE GOVERNMENTS TO SUBSIDISE THEM WITH GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF TAX PAYER'S $$$ SUPPORT $$$… AND HENCE WE ARE FACING A NEW TYPE OF TAX SWINDLE
VIACARBON AND CLIMATE CHANGING (REASONS) = (ORDERS) = ($$$) VIA FEAR AND UNSTABLE SOLUTIONS AND NEW HOAXES OF ALL KINDS 🦕It's like the Movie, "Water World" of Kevin Costner.. Dry Land may be the rare thing..
Then one day… BAMM!!! Megalodon.
Sea levels "said" to raise further. It's always going to happen. But what HAS happened ? er ,nothing. Beach loses sand here & builds somewhere else. Earth's climate was much hotter in the past & has always fluctuated. Alarmist propaganda .
This video contains the UN Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution.
Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.
Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.
The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.
Building more boxes to live on the water is poor planning. Boats with shapes and curves love floating and motion in wind. Noah's Ark was a better design than square cement boxes…
Don't mistake rich people's toy with housing for general public.
No. Stay out of the ocean.
This is pure bullshit. No one care about the environment. Do you realize the size of that rich guy's house? with a super luxury yatch docked aside, that's luxury. That costs enough for many more people than just one family. People insists in living the dream as our forebeards, but keep they eyes shut for the fact that the world changes so we need to change as well. The population is too big, and we have people living in luxury eating steaks, in the same time other people lives in cardboard houses, and eating cardboard meals.
We can create fresh water so how can u run out of what we with intellectual intelligence can create? Shauna? We are loading soil to the sea floor which is rising the water level which will reclaim land. Ur lacking confidence to support building on water reclaiming soil from sea floor is ur choice. That's not helping reduce carbon cause humans are carbon print we are particles of carbon. Yet soil is dropping down push up water & when 💦 evaporates then what? We know how to create water from chemistry that's what intelligence gave us.
I love it
🎲 Absolutely, I signed up and used that bonus right away. It’s a great way to start exploring their games. Have you decided to dive in yet
🃏 Noticed they have cashback deals too. It's like getting a safety net when luck isn't on your side
🎰 Yeah, I spent some time in the live casino last night. It feels like they've really stepped up their game. What did you think of the new setups
🚀 Tried one of those crash games recently? They're super intense but so much fun
🃏 I'm still a big fan of the live casino games. There's something about the poker tables that just draws you in
Hard telling where you would end up after a storm!
Sea levels are not rising. This is a lie.
Bangladesh
Oooh Couzinz – Look to example from the past … WORLD IS ON FIRE ! STOP – DROP & ROLL 🇨🇦
um human waste goes? and yes lets continue to blame OTHERS for problems where WE live! it's always someone else's fault isn't it? lol
What about the drinking water ? You guys will filter the sea water and supply to the population? best documentaries.
Dont build in flood zones. Get off the beachs.
Dont let fashion designers sit in as engineers
like I said before they don't have no ideas much and they need help
Why not end the drilling of oil? Why not make it easier for people to thrive in rural areas? How will we plant food and find enough food to eat if we live on water? Will the water we need to drink be clean enough ?
This is not innovative. Just kinda stupid and a waste of resources so people can live some weird lifestyle stuck in their head.
Around 10,000 B.C. ocean levels rose 400 feet or more submerging many coastal cities. I guess that was the cause of people back then driving cars? And enjoying electricity?
Combustion engines do not need to pollute or use petroleum products as their "only fuel". So if Climate Change is the cause of people and cars, why is not Hydrogen introduced as the fuel for cars? Steam would only come out of the tailpipe. Plus it's the number 1 fuel source in the universe. No chance of running out. And most of all, it's affordable! And the old cars using hydrogen can be recycled. Unlike EV's.
The more logical step ( and cheaper) is birth control.
Just like living on a water planet
How do we grow food?????
None of these models really deal convincingly with the specter of intense storms that will readily capsize and destroy any floating habitation. I suppose that if these buildings were adaptations of huge cruise ships there might be a chance. But who would want to live on such a thing?
Where will the mess go
It is 250 degrees above the atmosphere, only 76 degrees on the surface. 174 degrees of solar heat gone, blocked out by the CO2 and other “greenhouse gases”. Yes, they keep some heat in, about 20 degrees, but they block out 194 degrees for a net temperature of 174.
Gilbert Plass is the father of CO2 warming. His paper in 1955 THE CARBON DIOXIDE THEORY OF CLIMATE CHANGE started all this idiocy. The first sentence of the Abstract for his papers states:
“The most recent calculations of the infra-red flux in the region of the 15 micron CO2, band show that the average surface temperature of the earth increases 3.6” C if the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is doubled and decreases 3.8’ C if the CO2 amount is halved, provided that no other factors change which influence the radiation balance.”
You get warming ONLY if added CO2 does not change the radiation balance, meaning the heat entering does not fall with added CO2.
Before satellites, all scientists worked from the assumption that the sun mostly produced visible light and little heat. That visible light warmed the earth as the levels of CO2 and water vapor blocked out all the sun’s heat. Adding CO2 will not block out more incoming Sun heat as the was so little coming in to to begin with. But this is wrong.
Heat is the majority of the sun’s radiation. 30% of the sun’s heat makes it past the atmosphere, so adding more CO2 does change the radiation balance. Added CO2 blocks out more sun heat cooling the earth and reversing the greenhouse effect! Which is what Plass’s paper said. Plass assumed that added CO2 did not change the radiation balance, so added CO2 created a warmer earth, but he was wrong, added CO2 created a cooler earth.
250 above, only 76 degrees below. Cooler earth hotter atmosphere. The Troposphere is getting warmer with added CO2, not the surface. The CO2 in the troposphere is absorbing more incoming sun heat and getting warmer.
We are getting warmer, but that is because the Little Ice Age (LIA), ended in 1850. The Earth has been warming up since then. Snow has been melting and the oceans have been warming up. With less and less cold left over from the LIA the warming is accelerating. We are going back to the Earth that existed in the last Inter-Glacial Period when Iceland was baren of ice and the seas were 26 feet higher than today.
20,000 years ago the seas were 110 feet lower than today. This is how it goes on the Earth, warm to cold, low seas to high seas. This is just the first time mankind has had the education and intelligence to understand what is happening.
Neanderthals lived through the last Ice Age but they didn’t know there was an ice age, it was just the way it was. Earlier hominids had no idea that they were in an inter-glacial age. All they knew was it was it was warm.
Plass’s work is on the internet just google and read it for yourself, you only need to read the first sentence in the abstract.
there will be signs in the sun moon and stars, on the earth nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea, ( jesus christ, luke 21 v 25 )
if this bs were true, why is FL real estate keep rising?
100000 pounds says they dump straight into the oceans. No plumbing or trash collection needed 😅?!
What kind of system in the floating house will survive in the storms
What material are they using for buildisuch homes? If its wood, we are doomed.
😅😅😅nothing more than tomorrow 's project… humans dreams are easier than work hard to solve the current problems… that shows how things are going in broke West…😅😅😅
I notice that only Caucasian people can afford 250,000 euros for the floating cities.
We can’t keep land-based cities running. These are ridiculous and impractical time wasters.
floating cities has its advantages/disadvantages.
to be revisited….
Building better ❤
Okay good if these are the solutions why do we need to buy ev cars ? 😂
