My husband was born in the Netherlands during that storm.
It is this time, too. The Dutch need to go to the barricades on this one.
Why did they ignore the obvious place to build an estuary - in the North Sea? Just as the sea was diked to make the farm land, an estuary would seem easier & cheaper to build the same way & not compromise the integrity of the existing dike system.
Bear in mind that Holland is, I believe, the most densely populated country in Europe. Flooding existing land that is in short supply is just plain dumb.
I am going to stop saying "F. U." to certain people and replace it with "E. U." as it is much more degrading.
That silly tower in Pisa is going to have to be straightened up too.
they should rail against their nutball politicians. In fact, they should run them out of town on a rail.
What a shame. The Enviro wackos are like the ACLU etc.
Sh*t!!
I guess the Atlantic Ocean isn't big enough.
Every time I read one of these articles I am reminded of an old movie shown on Pat Robertson's FAMILY CHANNEL a few years ago.
I don't remember the name of the movie but it starred either Hans Conreid or Everet Edward Horton as an MC to a miss world competition.
I about choked when the mc of the competition introduced...
"And here we have Miss Amsterdam, who shamed Holland when she stuck her finger in the dike."
Again, Pat Robertson's Family Channel.
So you read "Unintended Consequences" too?
Is an associated group of the UN.
They also have plans to 're-wild' North America.
