Question

How about floating factories ("sweatships") and cities built on floating pontoons?

This topic is being presented at the AAG anual meeting coming up. With the problems associated with global climate change becoming more pronounced, it appears that a lot of thought is being given to how we can cope in the future.

Well since the oceans have been rising for thousands of years, not tens of years, it's not man-made.  So we'll get that out of the way.

The Earth is not going to turn out to be like Waterworld.  Alarmists want to panic people.  Looks like they did a good job on you.

Edit:  The copy cat thing?  I have no idea what you're talking about.  But thanks for playing.

Splendid idea, the Japanese built a floating airport and towed it out to sea with hundreds of tugboats. As far as I know it is still in operation.
