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 “
