Pictured: The floating cities that could one day house climate change refugees
uploaded by stvalentine
At first glance, they look like a couple of giant inflatable garden chairs that have washed out to sea
But they are, apparently, the ultimate solution to rapidly rising sea levels.
This computer-generated image shows two floating cities, each with enough room for 50,000 inhabitants.

stvalentine,
From the page at dailymail...
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global sea level is expected to rise between nine and 88 centimetres by 2100, with a 'best estimate' of 50 centimetres.
That's extreme. Unfortunately, unless we find some hidden miracle water on this planet, I won't be alive to witness this change.....and neither will anyone reading this post!
I like this story. It's good stuff.
