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.

good stuff:

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.
