In the twentieth century, the total sea level rise was only ten centimeters in the current century, as predicted, all fifty! (However, for this is enough to растаял only 1% of the Antarctic ice.)
The French origin of the Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut, is already known to our readers, penetrating influence of environmentalists and decided to create a Lilypad. His offspring, he describes a simple: "Floating Ecopolis for climate refugees."
The giant city-de-lis is a 50 thousand inhabitants, most of those "immigrants" that will sbegat from the effects of global warming in the Great Land. However, on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC, the organization set up by the UN in 1988, in the disaster zone may be up to 25 million inhabitants of our planet. Therefore Kallebo tried to glory in planning possible future a large part of the world's population.
Lilypad the surface is very similar to a floating sheet of water lilies (namely, the largest of them - Amazon). Hence the name of the whole project, and even to some extent, its internal structure.
What constitutes such a large-scale "craft"? Obviously, the mountain of electronics and completely "green" solutions. Thus, "double-skin" structure made of high strength polyester fibers coated with a layer of titanium dioxide. The latter under the influence of ultraviolet decomposes polluting substances through the atmosphere photocatalyst reaction.
To this add the solar panels, wind energy and tidal, biomass Earth, water treatment using reverse osmosis phenomenon and fitoochischenie, and so on and so forth. In general, the full list. It is unlikely that Vincent thought everything in detail. But the area (about 500 thousand square meters), no doubt, will help stuck on Lilypad any installation, which will in any benefit to the residents' Ecopolis.
Afloat trehgorbaya Mahin be stabilized by the ballast, which is actually a lagoon, located in the heart of Lilypad and filled with fresh water. It is completely immersed in the ocean, it will be collected and recycled rainwater. Well, believe the author's word. It is hoped that the rain could be "found" even in the dry areas of the world (of course, if they remain on the Earth by the year 2100).
According to Kallebo, it is unlikely that the giant amphibious city will create in the world en masse earlier in 2058, so it will focus on the beginning of the next century, accounts for the round.
So. What is interesting with this kind of pool? Ah yes, it has a complex structure. On its surface, facing the ocean, raspolozhatsya "gardens" of marine plants, and in the thick walls of the people will live and work, researchers of marine flora and fauna.
Various animals and vegetation located within Ecopolis. Kallebo proposes to use the many hanging gardens and farms. After all, the city will fully provide for themselves all the necessary, which means that each Lilypad is a small state with its own production, business and development of services.
No cost and no policy. Here it is certainly not sginet and by the end of time! People will have to establish new law and for those residents that will be scattered throughout the "islands of hope" around the world, but this is the tenth issue. Kallebo and us, that really overmodest is interested in the least.
There are other, far more interesting question. Will such an artificial ground is too expensive? But that still does not know anybody. Buyers in any case will, no doubt Vincent, especially in reducing the available housing space. And if they do not become the great world, then many advanced "green" just flat on the Lilypad with hands otorvut.
Well. Self-sufficient city-island - the idea is certainly good and necessary, but in reality, investors are generally more interested in smaller, a bit more tangible projects, such as hotels. But the popularity of the latter may, as under water, and at the oil platform.
