I live in the Netherlands and there is actually a thing going on now that would at first seem totally contradictionary to fight rising waterlevels: letting the place flood. Mostly grassland that is normally inhibited by cows. These areas are usually "polders" which once belonged to the water. By letting these lands flood during heavy rain/high water levels we can keep the cities dry. Then when waterlevels drop, these areas can harbor cows once more. I actually once had to do a project on secondary school in which we had to make a plan to create more room for the river, taking into account how much the water levels would drop by that, what the effects were on the area. (villages in the area for example) and possible recreation that would be made by changing waterways. This probably won't help if the water rises 3 meters or so , but I think this shows how innovative people can be if all else fails. :)

But why is an insurance company sponsoring a video about natural disasters? Sorry for the cynicism. But I am curious as to why ways to actually stop or slow the rising sea levels isn't a bigger concern. I know you want these videos to be short, but I would think prevention is a higher priority. I guess it's easier to find stopgap solutions than to tackle the root cause. Yes, I answered my own question.
@bootlegdouglas

+Juil A more likely answer to that question is that both are concerns (stopgap measures and real long-term solutions). There seems to be a disconnect with a lot of people that if we're putting resources toward temporary fixes, we're ignoring the larger issues and making them worse. What is actually happening is that both short- and long-term solutions are necessary and both are being worked on. The reason you hear more about temporary fixes and "band-aids" is that we will always need to go through a handful before everything we need to do to truly solve the big problem can be done (or even figured out). If you get a very deep cut, you should go to the hospital to get it stitched up and professionally treated., but on your drive there you would be smart to do what you can to slow the bleeding.

Connor Battilana I agree with you, but I was speaking more in the context of this video. It was sponsored by an insurance company, which basically has a business model dependent on impending danger. And the same issue applies in general: there is more money to be made in the short-term solution, so oil lobbies will pour money into the government, which takes money out of long-term sustainability, and only accelerates the death spiral we're in.

If the ice on for instance Greenland melts, the local gravity will diminish (because less mass, a cubic kilometer of ice is a LOT of mass) leading to a lowering of the sealevel. And also because of less mass, the crust will bounce back, also (relatively) lowering the sealevel, so if the Greenland ice melts, the Dutch sealevel might not rise at all.

So... geo thermal drill holes that we pump sea water into and use the steam to produce electricity with while at the same time producing cloud layers that reflect more infrared light, thus reducing global temperatures and giving the ice caps a chance to rebuild/grow, thus decreasing sea levels once again. Granted I dont know how we'd deal with the salt build up and poisonous gasses produced from melting salts (industrial factory filters?) or how the hot air would effect global weather patterns, most of the excess heat could probably be used for heating houses but a temperature increase of a few degrees over an area can have pretty huge rammifications like tornados and storms. Still, whenever the question of clean energy comes up the only viable options I can see being implemented with our current technology and in time to halt our influence on the weather would be geo thermal and those tidal pistons they envisioned putting on cargo ships when they dock (the flow lifts the ship that has a bar that's connected to a geared, pump like system on the docks so as the ebb drops the ship back down you have potentially several hundred tons of energy per ship). These two systems are something we have the tech to build and can afford to mass produce as things stand today, granted you might have to use fresh water for the geo thermal drill holes or that graphite, heat conducting wire they recently came up with to make it work. There are two other options I can see work as well but the cost makes it so that the international community simply wont take the expense to have it done. The first one being the gigantic turbines they suggested putting in places like the strait of gibraltar, the sea water rushes in on the top and out at the bottom constantly and thus produce enough energy to power all of Europe and parts of northern Africa, but again, the cost and engineering feats required makes it unlikely to be realised in our lifetime. The second idea I came across was to use the worlds hottest regions (around the equator) to build massive solar plants (uses heat to warm oil and use the steam to run turbines, not the panels most ppl are used to), if made big enough these could easily power the entire earth, but again the co-operation of so many world powers, the cost, the engineering feat of not only building the plants but also the maintenance costs and so on makes this another one I dont see ever being fulfilled. So... unless someone can point me in another direction the only options I see being feasible are geo thermal and wave/tidal based.

Since water can't just appear from _literally_ nothing, is it the bottom of water sources that are rising as well? so that there is no extra water needed for it to rise? Because I don't think that a lake bottom that stays the same could randomly just let the water raise a few meters, unless its the rain water doing so, in which, wouldn't a water source lose a lot of water?

Maybe it would be a good idea to slowly move cities as the water levels rise, through destruction and rebuilding. Sounds impractical, but I think it is the best option. I currently live and plan to live inland, fortunately.

It's the most likely scenario, but unfortunately what that approach does not take into account is the loss of other resources like available farmland and living space. There are some nations where, if the sea rose by just a little over a meter, would mean that the nation would disappear under the surface of the ocean. And all of those freshly displaced people are going to have to live somewhere else. You might have seen all of the news about "immigration crises" caused by the war in Syria and economic turmoil in places like Venezuela; well, imagine how much worse it'll be when MILLIONS of people start flooding into your country because their country literally doesn't exist anymore. There's also other potential problems like the contamination of ground water supplies by sea water rising up through the soil, which will further put pressure on our existing fresh water supplies. If nothing is done, my guess is that we'll be seeing a lot more wars as thirsty, desperate people with nowhere to live start fighting over the available resources left to us.

....except Atlantis was about something completely different. Except such sea level rise predictions are complete BS. But one thing that definitely gives this video a thumbs up is, that it kind of accepts the fact that if the warming will continue or for some reason even accelerate, we wont be able to do much about it. But we can do a lot to adapt. This is one of the few exceptions that deal with what money could buy after the problem comes, and not just about how we must waste all resources fighting a non-problem, which might go away, just maybe, but only if we bully every single country on earth to nonsensical poverty. So this is probably the first video on the topic I actually like.
