Oceans vs cities: France’s beaches are shrinking • FRANCE 24 English
Roughly 40 percent of the world’s population live in coastal areas. What once felt like a privilege – living close to the sea – is becoming increasingly risky. ️Climate change is speeding up coastal erosion. Rising sea levels and storms are threatening coastal towns like Lacanau, in southwestern France, which is considering moving inland by 2100. FRANCE 24’s Aurore Cloé Dupuis, Alexandra Renard, John Walsh and Carlotta Poirier report.

Call Dubai islands builders.
They will extend the coastline as long and as wide as you want.
People It’s not such a thing of Climate Change, Stop blaming everything that happens on climate the Earth has its own Natural course.
China is probably dredging off the coast. They use alot of concrete and don't want dredge to close to China because well…..
OMG Climate Change!!! Maybe those surfers from “around the world” should stay at home, and not fly or drive to that place, or any other place for that matter, just to surf!🤷♂️
How can these Muppets say it is speeded up by "Climate" change? was anyone around during the last time this happened?
It’s happening world wide because greed trumps common sense.
Talk to the Netherlands. This isn't such a big thing.
Love All the so called scientists on here !! 😂
Have you guys seen the affect of the cyclone Albert on the Gold Coast of Queensland
All the beaches Gone & 4ft drop if you want to go swimming !!
Trump said climate change is a hoax. 😢
Thats an inlet, naturally inlets are the first to go. As for sea levels rising? Since when and where, its obviously NOT HAPPENING EVERYWHERE! I live on an island, in the Pacific, lived here for almost 20 years, seen 2 CAT 5 Typhoons (called Hurricanes elsewhere), and numerous CAT4> Typhoons during that time frame as well as several 7.0+ Earthquakes, live almost 300 meters from the ocean shore, our waters have not risen at all except during typhoon season, then it goes back to normal. Sounds like some green propaganda? You also PRO electric? Solar? Wait till the storage for all those dead yet still very deadly and toxic batteries are disposed of and start stockipiling up. Common sense is def NOT SO COMMON!🇺🇸✌🏻🍻
what about north India? it has 0.02% of world population?
It's accelerating, but 20'000 years ago sea levels were 100 meters lower!
Imagine there were small cities and villages, down there…
Nobody likes France anyway because of all the dangerous imigrants.
Every single coastline on the planet endures natural shore erosion. This has occurred since the beginning of time. Attributing this to "Climate change" just demonstrates that climate zealots resort to lies to push their "crisis" narrative.
Sinners need a saviour. That is only Jesus Christ
The French aren’t rocket scientists 😂😂 bread heads they got bread for brains
400 Gugatons of CO2 in the atmosphere…and you are worried about dunes? 😅😅😅😅Do you even realize where we are on the Climate Collapse timeline? You gotta love watching human abject stupidity. The AMOC is shutting down and the ESAS is blurting out CH4.
Well what do you expect with all them illegal immigrants launching boats from them
There’s nothing new here. There’s no change. Water erodes all things on earth. Until you can stop the ocean from touching earth, it will erode. Always has, always will. Period. Winter storms are normal. Wind is normal. Earth has a rotation cycle of 26,000 years. Don’t worry. Live life. There’s gonna be more good waves to surf next winter.
