INHABITAT INTERVIEW: Water Architect Koen Olthuis on How to Embrace Rising Sea Levels
from http://inhabitat.com/inhabitat-interview-water-architect-koen-olthuis-on-how-to-embrace-rising-sea-levels/
I add this article to this blog not because I see it as having solutions that can be applied now, but because it contains much of the reasoning required to develop these solutions.
It introduces the concepts of floating infrastructure that can be towed to disaster affected areas, like power plants and schools.
Right now, building floating infrastructure is doable but expensive. There are also the problems of how such a structure would react to storms, etc.
In the future, man will be develop cost effective solutions to these problems that would in hindsight be "common sense".
