As part of campaign highlighting the need for immediate action to reduce the impacts of fossil fuel-driven climate change, Finnish technology group Wärtsilä has unveiled a controversial idea that envisions lifeboats for buildings on land in flood-prone areas.

Instead of lifeboats why don’t they put helicopter rotors on their buildings and then they can just hover during floods?
Has to be lifeboats. Way too embarrassing to be called Beany Builders.
Winter sets in and the Finns are drinking again.
OK, great, show me verifiable physical evidence that the oceans are rising uniformally throughout the world at a threatening rate, and I buy the product.
Whatever happened to Nokia? These clowns better be careful or they are going to be out manning the fishing boats again. Like Icelanders during the 2008 meltdown. And the EU maggots threatened them. To tax them for years to pay off Icelandic bank losses to depositors in France and UK.
But in the end the EU degenerates + fags caved and left Icelanders alone.
OK, but you know in some neighborhoods the tenants are just going to sublet those enclosed lifeboats to additional tenants. Or stick the in-laws or other excess family in them.
There is always an enterprising crook prepared to take advantage of a fool with respect to climate change.
I want to see the quarterly lifeboat drills.
I am reminded of the Miller’s Tale from Chaucer where a charlatan clerk convinces a carpenter to construct boats to hang under the eaves in preparation for another Noah’s flood. The project was a ruse for clerk to sleep with the old capenter’s young wife. One of Chaaucer’s better and more bawdy Cantebury Tales.
Hahahahahaha!
As the legendary Rhett Butler once said to Scarlett O'Hara: "You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.” it bring to mind the following paraphrase:
“Leftists should be ridiculed and often, and by someone who knows how.”
That would be us!!!
Uhhh, Wartsila makes some of the largest internal combustion engines on the planet.
Hahaha! Me too!
Company video discusses lifeboats on buildings due to Global Warming
Yes they do. Compounds the asininity of the whole thing.
They specialize in burning heavy dirty cheap fuel.
I don't think you are treating this matter with the proper gravity.
Spindizzies......the time has come.
Perhaps the PR dept and the Engineering/Sales folks don’t have lunch together very often.
