1/3 of Holland, aka the Netherlands, is below sea level...and sea level is rising. So can their dikes continue to keep the water out? Even the Dutch say NO.
But the Dutch are a very creative people, as I know first hand working with them in Luxembourg , where at a DuPont plant we were making a spunbonded polypropylene geotextile fabric that the Dutch were using to stabilize their dikes.
So on to the links:
#1 which we saw today the TED presentation by Koen Olthuis
#2 Koen Olthuis on NPR
#3 BBC video, where the Brits are learning from the Dutch
My perspective?...There is hope....IF Politics do not get too much more in the way.
Me? I am doing the best I can for all of us, especially our children.
