Lessons from Holland on fighting rising sea levels
Переглядів 265,654
6 років томуWindmills are more than just a traditional part of the Dutch landscape; they have played a key role in the war Holland has waged against the sea for centuries. Today the Dutch are using ever-more innovative methods to combat rising sea levels, strategies that may also benefit other nations confronting the effects of climate change. Martha Teichner reports. Originally broadcast on May 21, 2017.

@Warrior Son, because they didn't. Yet the vast majority of the Dutch population lives in areas which were either marshes, lakes or areas prone to flooding before any poldering was done.

@Catalogus Strijd translates to battle, rather than war. In any case, I don't care much about the way Americans phrase things, they seem to like superlatives, which is their own choice. What I think most people here are aiming for is that the Dutch have mostly seen it is a challenge, rather than a battle (let alone a war). What bugs me a little bit is that, like most documentaries made by our American friends, they seem to create a lot of fuss about things which are a fact of life for the people they talk about. That whole sensationalist way of reporting annoys me (and I suspect that I'm not alone, at least not in this comment section).

The most impressive detail about the Rotterdam storm barrier, is the fact that it is a float barrier. That means, it swings out and is then filled with water. This however requires a two axis joint in the mooring points, which is accomplished by a giant 1m diameter ball joint that was a challenge to machine in 1997. Damned, I'm not even Dutch, and I remember this from the opening 20+ years ago!!

We must change our ways anyway: estimates for the world running out of oil range between 50 - 100 years. We'll have a few hundred years more of natural gas. And it all gets ever more expensive to get out of the ground. US oil breaks even at $55 per barrel because of fracking and oil rigs, which means it hasn't had any true profits (other than 24 billion in tax payer dollars annually) since 2015. And "fossil" fuels and their industries also gets you lots of pollution and landscape destruction. Besides, money spent on mitigating climate change doesn't just disappear into a dark pit. Saving energy = saving money. Plus the renewables sector is growing and improving fast, with clean and often better paying jobs than in dirty industries.

As you may have noticed by now from a number of comments, most Dutch people take offence when foreigners refer to their country as “Holland”. In Dutch the country is called “Nederland”, and therefore the appropriate translation in English is “the Netherlands”. In the 17th century “Holland” used to be 1 of the original seven provinces of the Netherlands. In 1840 the province was split into two: “Noord-Holland” (North Holland), which is where the capital Amsterdam is located, and “Zuid-Holland” (South Holland), where we find Rotterdam and The Hague (“Den Haag”) as major cities. Since 1986 the Netherlands comprises a total of twelve provinces. Besides the two mentioned above, these are: Drenthe, Flevoland, Friesland, Gelderland, Groningen, Limburg, North Brabant, Overijssel, Utrecht, and Zeeland. When someone is born in 1 of these ten provinces, he or she is ‘not from Holland’. In linguistics, the incorrect use of the name “Holland” to refer to the entire country is called “pars pro toto”, Latin for "a part for the whole". Another common mistake in this category is saying England instead of United Kingdom, thus excluding Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Special thanks to Mark from Wolters World, who in his list on UKposts of “The Don'ts of The Netherlands” lists this as number 1: “don’t say Holland, say the Netherlands”: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jYiHoqytf4J0zHU.html

It used to be a single, independent state. Before the Burgundians came and conquered all of the Dutch states. With the 'Pax Burgundia,' the mediëval Dutch states had to learn to live together without going to war every year or so.Then the Burgundians were taken over/merged with the Habsburg Empire. Then the Habsburgs split into a Spanish section and an Austrian section. Which is why we still have the words "The king of Spain - I have always honoured" in our national anthem. Which was written to celebrate the very fact we seceded from the Spanish empire (Eighty Years War). Imagine the American anthem having the words "God Save the King." Back to Holland: it's like England is known all over the world when people mean to say "Great Britain." Few people know our country's name is the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" but then I doubt many non-British will know that the official name for Great Britain is the United Kingdom.

There is a potential, exponential rise in sea level coming, because current sea level rise lags current sea temperature rise, which lags current greenhouse gas levels. Scientists are conditioned to be conservative and only predict a linear rise, because that expectation is easier to defend, but the gap between linear and exponential will be critical to changes in sea level.

It is great engineering and I am very proud of it as a Dutch guy. But the final solutions is preventing sea level rise. If that doesn't happen enough, even our engineering skills cannot handle the consequentes. The tricky part is that we know we are save in this century so during our lives. What comes in next centuries and beyond is an abstract danger for many of us including myself. But we know that we can't defend lower countries against sea rising of many meters and exactly that is going to happen. Not in our lives or that of our children or grandchildren. Not even in the next century, but the total potential of all ice on Antartica is more then 50 meters of 160 feet. We just don't know yet how quick it will melt and if there are points of no return when it comes to warming up the climate in this proces. All the news I hear the last years ist more or less worse then earlier projections. Every new projection science is making is always worse then the projections before, never better. Mainly because we don't know yet fully the dynamics of icemelting or of the gulfstream that is getting weaker, transporting less of the warmer water to the north and less colder water to the south.

Lol. The Dutch model is never going to pass any Fed or state governance in large. Because... you don't solve a problem sustainably, you just do some short term fixing at the highest possible price... Brings in lots more money... That's the American way. Lol.

The story transitioned from ocean flooding to river flooding without making that distinction. The farmers are allowing rivers to overrun their banks. That can work on a river, but wouldn't work on an ocean front.
