I’ll vote for him. Even it it’s not my city. LOL! The doomsayers don’t bother to tell people that ‘nyc’ will NOT be under hundreds of feet of water. And crap like this perpetuate the misconception. Warm it up please!

Wow, so in the next major war, enemies will be able to wipe out entire cities by sinking them.

Dear UN.. it’s called an Ark and you are not invited.
Seriously, the hymalayas will melt in 2020, right? In other word, US taxpayer theft in action.

Floating island cities? That is so dumb. Everyone knows that once we master anti-gravity, cities will be hovering in the sky.

The value might be plunging from the imminent domain cases that cities are bringing to steal beach front property on the Left coast.

I thought we already HAD floating cities.
How large is the crew and supernumeraries on a modern Nimitz class aircraft carrier. It even has its own airport and independent power supply, in the atomic reactor system that powers the ship and desalinates the water supply, and has modern communication systems all up and down the spectrum.
They do have to make a port of call from time to time to replenish perishable and expended supplies, but other than that, they have a very flexible travel schedule, and the wide range of climatic conditions in the world make seeking out the most optimal place to relocate into a much more straightforward task.
