Science & Planet N-VA-president Bart De Wever found that the global warming is not completely able to stop, and we had better adjust. “Because even if you stop the world tomorrow with emissions, the sea level rise will continue for hundreds of years continue. You should not be a part of the money in adaption stitches?”, he says on the evening of the fourth ‘klimaatdonderdag’ to VTM NEWS.
At the exit of the Room according to The Weaver that the klimaatspijbelaars rightly more ambitious questions, and that politicians also need to show. “Both in terms of urban planning, isolation of buildings and public transport. That is all correct. But the bitter truth is that that will not suffice,” said The Weaver.
“There are calculations of what climate is going to cost you, and what which cause. That goes on quite a lot of money, to very little effect to books. If the people that money will still have to pay, should we not be a part of that money in barrier, in water management to invest”, asks The Weaver.
According to The Weaver that happens already now in Antwerp, where the reconstruction of the scheldt quays also a dijkproject. “We make the city ready for a future where the water will be higher, and from the sea with a superstorm later will come.”
