A new method of dealing with

Global Warming, including

special guests:

This long-term warming
trend poses serious risk to
the world's economy and to
the environment. It poses
even greater risks for
poorer countries that are far
less able to cope with a
changing climate and for
low-lying countries where
a rise in sea level will cause
significant damage.
Problems with the
Lilypad Cities
Although the Lilypads offer
a safe haven from total
destruction of flooding by
the rising sea levels,
problems still exist with
these floating islands. One
concern includes the
question of how these
islands support life,
especially if the setting is
artificial. However, the final
designs of these projects
involve the incorporation of
a full ecosystem that
simulates that of the natural
world. Another situation
includes the high price of
residence for the Lilypad. A
valid argument created from
that states that the Lilypad
further divides the social
classes of both rich and
poor. However, with the
occupancy of 50,000, the
price might lower over time.
With the rising sea levels, the
Lilypad offers a refuge for
those living near a coastal
area. Estimates clarify that
those locations become the
most heavily damaged than
any other place with due to
the flooding of the increasing
ocean levels.

H.O.T.S questions

: To what extent is the
effectiveness of the Lilypad
cities in dealing with the
rising waters of Global
Warming?
: Predict the outcome that
might cause the ultimate
failure of the Lilypad.
: Analyze the attributes of
the Lilypad and evaluate their
potential in preventing the
further consequences of
Global Warming.
: Compare other ways to
cope with Global Warming to
the Lilypad and determine
which preposition works best.
: Evaluate the detriments and
benefits of the Lilypad and
determine whether this is a
long-term or short-term plan
in coping with rising water
levels.









What is a Lilypad?
Lilypad is the name given to
a new project also called the
Floating Ecopolis. The name
refers to the close
resemblance these structures
have to the plant named a
lily pad. These beautiful
architectural structures
provide an area in which
people may safely reside in
as ocean levels rise near the
coast of different locations.

With the sea levels rising,
some areas are in danger of
serious floods. With nowhere
to go, Lilypad cities are the
last resort to avoid the
drowning of numerous coastal
inhabitants. Although people
may question the price of this
project, the Lilypad provides a
definite method of dealing
with the imminent flooding of
coastal places.
