Welcome To Lilypad City

Here are some images of "Lilypad City", created by an architect with the problem of global warming and rising sea-levels in mind. These huge floating cities could contain 50,000 people. It is believed that by the year 2100, sea levels could rise by up to 88cm, which would put many Pacific islands in danger and also threaten cities such as London, Tokyo and New York.
Can you imagine living on one of these cities? "Hmm, what's for dinner... fish. And for lunch? Fish... and for breakfast? Fish with powdered milk". How long before some bright spark managed to distill moonshine from fishbones?
Talk about a terrorist target: "steer this city to Syria or we pull the plug!" Or the huge citation the captain will get after having a few too many bottles of rum and crashing it into the Port of Los Angeles.
Apparently, the first penthouse has already been sold... to Kermit the Frog.
Hideous. Stop the world, I wanna get off....
That looks smart! I live on a big hill though so i'm safe. I still think they should build those things!
And during a tidal wave/ Tsunami it skates across the entire continental united states like a hockey puck.
Can't we just move to Mars - apparently there's like no water there.
Next Al Gore will be telling us we'll put out the Sun by flooding the whole entire Galaxy with all our Climate changing - Very frightening indeed.
I really hope this whole Global Warming thing turns out to be a hoax,
Y'know, like Kaballah, The Secret, or Tom Cruise's career.
