Hello, listeners. This is Daniel Forman speaking, and you are listening to my demo. The demo that I will record to you is a text called Protecting Cities Form floating that I will read to you. I hope you will enjoy listening to this day. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide live in cities built close to the sea. Many of these cities have constructed massive walls along the coast to prevent them from being floated. However, in recent years storms at sea have become expansion li violent, bringing high and powerful waves crashing over these barriers. Cities in coastal regions of Japan and along along the east coast of the United States in particular, have been badly hit, with hundreds of thousands homes destroyed by the widespread floating global warning Is that a thought to be responsible for increased intensity of ocean storms, the higher temperature of the elves. Aston Field also warmed the oceans, causing sea levels to rise and increasing The likelihood that coastal cities will be floated at these trends will probably continue seawalls. One offer protection in the future unless they are made much higher and stronger. And for the unfortunately most conscious coastal cities will be unable to afford the cost of providing antiquity protection against floating. The seriousness of the situation is highlight of the book, The Last Beach, righted by Ocean scientists O'Ryan Pink Lee and Andrew Cooper. Idly, the authors say, vulnerable cities ought to be moved further away from the coast, however, recognized that this situation would be extremely complex and expensive. They also suggest a simpler, cheaper approach. When neighborhoods have been floated, they should no longer be rebuilt in the same location. Instead, those parts of the city should be constructed as constructed far from the coast or higher ground. As for new cities, Pink Lee and Copal believe that should all be built in land. In cases where construction near the coast cannot be avoided, engineers must make sure that natural sandy beaches I'll prevent it is those *******, explained the author, which provide the most effective defense against the forces of the ocean. Their studies, of course, around the world, have shown that the power of the ocean waves is reduced as they break on wide stretches on beach. But when you come, contract barriers are built, much of the descent is removed, living only the barriers themselves to withstand a full force of the ocean. Although publicly and Cooper's views are widely accepted by the ocean scientists, things are unlikely to improve anything soon. With rapidly increasing population that need housing, many small countries feel forced to build all all available land, including areas close to the sea. Under such circumstances, they don't consider protecting sandy beaches a priority. Apparently, they are not mm, detected by scientists warning that rising sea levels will lead a floating within the next 15 years. It seems, then that the government will introduce essential measurables only when they are rapidly expensive. Widespread destruction in those cities. Thank you for listening and have a great day. Uh huh. Yes, it's yeah, yeah.
