Being from the North East of England the North Sea is something I have looked over, swam in and sailed all my life. On days it looks calm and serene, then on other days it looks apocalyptic. Many of my ancestors were coal miners or shipwrights, but my biggest interest has always been my ancestors who were sailors. My granddad was a merchant sailor during WW2 who had to sail through the artic to try and supply the USSR. The Russians created a medal for these people but due to the Cold War it was unaccepted by the British government. While my granddad died a good few years ago my uncle has got that medal on his behalf.

it's not that bad. As a brit we know the south west with the open atlantic is way worse. All of the worst storms come from there. 115mph winds last year trashed my house and came from the atlantic hitting our southwest coast. By the time that same storm reached mainland europe and the north sea coast it had lost a lot of energy and was much weaker. Look up the waves in cape cornwall. Likewise scotland's west coast is far worse than it's east coast for winds and large waves. West UK is windier than the east, because the open atlantic is rougher and more dangerous than the north sea. North sea is simply traversed more often so more people encounter storms there.

7.40 The Dutch took over from the Hanseatic league not that gradually, but in a matter of decades by industrialized shipbuilding, an efficient merchant ship and low intrests through central banking. Britain might have gotten navy supremacy at the end of the 17th century (when the Dutch Republic had taken the English throne btw) but the Dutch kept dominating the trade in the North Sea and the Baltics for much longer. Global trade didn't take over from the Hanseatic League, the Dutch did, the British nor any other couldn't compete and moved onto the oceans. The Dutch moved onto the oceans too, but initially to take their 80-year war with Spain and Portugal over there, not instead of their European trade but on top. Trade with East-Asia took a year sailing and another year sailing back, the Americas about half of that, that remained a tiny part of the trade until the steamships.

The English parliament decided that the Dutch Parliament would build an invastion fleet twice the size of the Armada, and get an army of 40.000 together and have London occupied with no English soldiers allowed near it? The same parliament that was sidelined by a catholic absolutist king while no protestant had a legitimate claim to the throne? The Glorious Revolution myth as the birth of your current parliamentary monarchy as an English development coming from within was hanging by the thread of 7 lords inviting him, but even British historians have acknowledged that Willem contacted them and asked to be invited for propaganda reasons. No, for Dutch reasons this is hardly part of Dutch education and the self serving British version has been mainstream for ages. The facts show it was a Dutch Republic's initiative because of enemy France, it was not even about the English throne. The Dutch had been beyond that medieval shit for over at least a century. We see all of these self serving anglocentric chauvinistic falsehoods popping up in history videos here. The British had only global trade left, so the European trade must have had disappeared and wheat, wood, wine, beer, cloth, rye and whatever was now shipped from Asia in a full year of sailing instead of a couple of weeks sailing to the Baltics? Yeah right. The British shifted to global trade because they couldn't compete, not the trade itself.

@@lokischeissmessiah5749 He didn't face any opposition because the legitimate absolutist king got a nosebleed and fled to France before the big battle. His wife was not the legitimate heir either, otherwise the Dutch would have waited it out. One of the reasons he hardly met any resistance was the size of his fleet and army and his effective propaganda campaign, asking a few lords with no power to invite him while already preparing the invasion was a part of that. How do you imagine that invition: "Come over, we are going to has to remain a surprise but bring a fleet twice the size of the Armada, 40.000 soldiers, a printing press and John Locke over." ? This is a video about trade, you start about the wars the English started against the Dutch Republic and against free trade. Because they couldn't compete in trade and had these medieval reflexes against the Dutch Republic that put the 'modern' in 'the early modern period'. The only reason the English matched the Dutch navy mostly was the trend towards heavier gunships the Dutch couldn't go along with because of their shallow home waters. The Dutch were never interested in being the most aggressive conquerers and imperialists, we even let you claim our succesfull invasion as your own revolution without being able to name one revolutionary act by an Englishman involved. That's also somethign typically British, because you don't know anything about other countries history you assume you were the first. But the Dutch had parliaments for ages and when the king took power back to enforce religious persecution they claimed inalienable rights including the freedom of religion, and declared the king, Philip II of Spain to have left the throne by becoming a tyrant. This was in 1581, well before any other and surely the Britihs got any such ideas. So the Dutch had parliaments (with commoners mostly, not nobility), balance of power, freedom of religion, freedom of thought, speech and print, full fledged capitalism with effectively a central bank in the early 1600's, and after a Dutchman arrived with an army and sat on the throne the British suddenly all had this too? What a coincidence, suddenly they came of with the Bank of England and free trade. They had their ally against France instead of the treachorous English going behind our back to attack together with France and catholic Germany like in 1672. It wasn't a coincidence that the radically modernized Britain 5 times the size of the Dutch Republic would take over afterwards, allthough it took Napoleon's invasion for Britain to take over from the Dutch Republic as the world's biggest trader. Capitalists as they were the Dutch didn't care the British doing most of the geopolitical fights now and understanding how to make money too, because the filthy rich Dutch simply got ROI through London now too. The fact that you take pride in Britain not honouring the agreement and taking the colonies is also telling. All the Dutch wanted since the 1560's, freedom and free trade basically, they got and secured it through exporting it. By making more money than anybody else and being copied, by printing more than half of Europe's books, by being a place where people like Descartes, Spinoza and John Locke could write their ideas in freedom and kickstart the enlightenment, by invading Britain, by having their DOI copied by the American rebels, by giving those rebels their guns and ammo, by shaping NYC with it's melting pot and the American dream.

Scotland and England were first and currently are unified into the United Kingdom of Great Britain back in 1707 (Uniting of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England into Great Britain, named after the island of Great Britain where both are located) whereas Ireland wasn't formally incorporated into the United Kingdom until 1801 (though the governments signed the Treaty of Union in 1800 tweaking the name into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland). If the map was based in the year 1800 then Scotland and England would both be dark green due to being part of the recently formed United Kingdom of Great Britain whereas the island of Ireland would either be either beige or dark green depending on whether it was before or after the signing and ratifying of the treaty. The current map implies that Scotland was fully independant and Ireland and England were together as a single entity which wasn't the case. It was England and Scotland who unified.

At the current production rate, the reserves are empty in 12,5 years. That's not far away. The reserves has been roughly cut in half since 2000, from 3,85 Trillion CM to less than 2.1 TcM in 2022.

it's only at an all time high because of Putin and his warmongery. Everybody turned to the norwegians, please please sell us everything you got and more. I think they would have done a much slower production rate without this war, to save more for the future

The windmill project on Doggerbank will be an environmental DISASTER!
