  1. Lol these are all rich peoples rental properties. You know (the ppl who priced all the middle and low income people out of ever owner their own homes ) I have no sympathy for them

  2. JESUS SAID the foolish man builds his house upon the sand

  3. No greenhouse gas ; Explain of atmospheric effect : FRENCH : https://youtu.be/x1VRBwau4pI ENGLISH : https://youtu.be/A80K_YIJr3o RUSSIAN : https://youtu.be/Mz1vweDe7yM

  4. The climate changes each and everyday. There is no climate change. Dinosaurs used to walk the outer banks 60 million years ago. Relax. Climate change is a political tool to remove you from your money. Don’t be a fool! Cheers woke low IQ alarmist liberals. You all are sick! Cheers!!

  5. The beach is merely an extension of the bottom of the ocean. Sometimes the ocean recovers it. Not rocket science.

  6. I'm sorry about your 5th home

  7. I want to thank #drosaba for curing my herpes virus with his herbal medicine

  8. Climate scam is more like it.

  9. Isn't there a parable in the bible about building sand? I guess the people in those days were driving SUVs too much too.

  10. The shore has been eroding for billions of years. I notice they do not mention the draining of aquafers beneath the shores causing the land to subside.

  11. Eliminate repeated Federal Insurance payments that allows rebuilding in the same time and time again. One payment, thats it.

  12. Climate change 😂🤣🤣😂🤣

  13. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, extinction. We have the denial part down pat

  14. Let me guess…NC Republicans banned the use of the words 'climate change' because they think it's a hoax. Keep rejecting the scientists. You get what you deserve.

  15. What a JOKE EVERY STORM IS CLIMATE CHANGE. IN BUFFALO WE GET 5 FOOT OF SNOW WE CALL IT A STORM NOT CLIMATE CHANGE. ONLY THE BRAINWASHED CALL IT CLIMATE CHANGE.

  16. Climate change changed the odor of my fart… would you like to smell it?

  17. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels. Well its evident that this popular opinion has not considered a very important fact! The fact that the North Pole's Magnetic Field is shifting probably has more to do with climate change then Co2 emissions!

  18. No you cannot build to someones livelyhood. It may stand for 20-30 years, but not 60-120 years. Amount of engineering and money needed to build something against erosion and sea waves, and hurricane seas. Most of it is wood, plywood, and flimsy stuff anyway, so removal of toxic materials and soils should be very easy. If you love it that much, it should be easy for you.

  19. North Carolina's government is just a joke. California has its troubles, but making policy based on such obvious delusions ain't one of 'em.

  20. REPORT on the Future of Humanity HAS BEEN DECLASSIFIED. NUCLEAR Apocalypse Is Real. Scientists shared information about the end of the world

  21. if you buy a house on the actual coastline, you got whats coming for you!

  22. Clear your doubts I have found a legit hack service Maskoffweb have proven to be legit I just received a my third hack transfer in my PayPal account

  23. Clear your doubts I have found a legit hack service Maskoffweb have proven to be legit I just received a my third hack transfer in my PayPal account

  24. Secure Climate funds from fraudsters like DeSantis who defrauded Covid funds for migrant flights.

    Over 100 American lives taken by Hurricane Ian while 44 Americans are shot by other Americans each day.

    Learn from the past, dig flood swales and work with the natural environment.

  25. How can republicans reconcile banning climate change from reports? Those morons keep having to accept what they fight so hard to delay. Any changes could have been made 30 years ago. Pure idiots

  26. Common you guys need a more exciting drone guy. You can hire me right now. Ill work for free for a month just to show you my dedication to Nightly news. I grew up watching you guys!!!

  27. climate change is true and thats the teretory of the ocean

  28. Those houses should never be built there that should be all mounds of sand piled up there

  29. Oh yeah hows Obamas on the beach ? 🤔

  30. Scientists been saying this since the 1970 global warming is real

  31. Carolinas just woke up a decade ago? LOL SLOW

  32. Where is the pile driver? They aren't sinking those piers down to bedrock?

  33. Thou shall not build on SAND. Only fools do.
