Not So
farfetched , After all !
The following news report
appeared in Economic Times ( 31 Jan 2017 ) :
“ As Climate Takes a Turn, these Cities
Float Off the Pages “
An audacious plan to respond to climate change by BUILDING A CITY OF FLOATING ISLANDS in the SOUTH PACIFIC is moving forward, with the government of French Polynesia agreeing to consider hosting the islands in a tropical lagoon.
The project is being put forward by a California non-profit, the Seasteading Institute, which has raised about $2.5 million from more than 1,000 interested donors. ..
The project's pilot islands would cost a total of $10 million to $50 million and house a few dozen people and that the initial residents would most likely be middle-income buyers from the developed world.
But the project also appears to show
how the acceleration of climate change has prompted technology entrepreneurs to
devise innovative solutions to climate-related
problems like rising sea levels.
Hencken said that he
expected the project to eventually include DOZENS OF ARTIFICIAL ISLANDS and that similar
projects could someday be built in other atoll nations or coastal areas
threatened by rising sea levels.
Now , would it not be
much more politically correct for US President Donald Trump to donate $ 14 billion to Seasteading Institute ( the estimated
cost of that 1000 mile wall along the US / Mexico border ) and tell all those 11.4 million “ illegal immigrants “ of USA :
“ Absolutely for
YOU , I am building a WHOLE NEW COUNTRY in South Pacific , which will simultaneously take care of that 27 BILLION Kg of plastic waste which
Americans generate each year
Feel free to name it ,
And with support of
Putin , I will ensure that USM is admitted to the United Nations “
