Who’s Up For Floating Cities To Save Us From Sea Rise (that’s your fault)?

The NY Times, rather than investigating government, checking out wrong doing, protecting citizens from government, decides this is a better use of their time, because, they’re part of a cult

Are Floating Cities the Solution to Rising Seas?

Worldwide, rising sea levels and increasing urbanization represent a formula for disaster, with more and more people seeking to live on land that will, at some point, be swallowed up by the sea. But a futuristic-sounding solution — the construction of full cities on top of the water — is poised to become a reality.

One project in particular, off Busan, South Korea, is roping in a combination of high and low technology to create a large-scale, on-water town, which will be able to house more than 10,000 people.

Strictly defined, floating communities already exist in the Netherlands, Thailand and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. But these are typically clusters of houseboats moored close to one another. What sets the new concepts apart is a matter of scale. Rather than comprising an agglomeration of smaller vessels, each of these cities is designed to be built on enormous concrete platforms suspended on the water.

Weirdly, South Korea has plenty of unused land. But, really, if climate cultists were so concerned about sea rise they wouldn’t be moving to so many coastal areas. Nor would the Elites who like to buy beachfront homes, eh?

But, hey, surprisingly, ‘climate change’ in any form isn’t mentioned. Nor do they mention actual sea rise data. Most South Korean tide gauges are well below expected sea rise during a Holocene warm period. Some are about average. But, you know what? I think it would be great if climate cultists lived on floating cities. That’d keep them away from the non-cult people.

But, um, what happens when the Earth’s climate flips back into cooling? How do they survive?
