Building giant floating cities will actually displace water....which will raise sea levels...

So these retards are opting for a “solution” that literally becomes the problem....

Morons!!!

Well, this really isn't a good idea; where would they put all the golf courses?

On a positive note though, it would increase the demand for Marine Biologists.

You win!

Now for some empirical evidence.

If Sea Level Was Rising, Wouldn't Someone Have Noticed?
by Anthony Watts, May 1, 2010

Images spanning 130 years show non-effects of sea level rise

...if sea level was rising significantly, some of the billions of people who live along the coasts might have noticed? My favorite snorkeling beach in California is The Cove in La Jolla. I first went there around 1960, when Raquel Welch (Tejada at the time) was named Homecoming Queen at La Jolla High School. I went snorkeling there again last summer. The beach is still there and hasn’t changed. Below is a photo of The Cove from 1871.

And a recent photo.

And here is the animation with the two images matched to scale and overlaid:

Except.....there’s no evidence of any significant rise in sea levels.
