This is an unsigned editorial from the Global Warming Warning Post:

"We don't know about you, but the recent a recent news story (see below) about the possibility of polar cities to house survivors of global warming in the future has caught our attention. Say what you will, it's an intriguing idea, even if a bit far-fetched. On first reading, the concept seems preposterous, ridiculous, unscientific and impractical. But upon further reflection, the idea of planning, designing and building polar cities now -- while we still have time and resources and fuel and transportation and perspective -- makes sense. And even if the envisioned polar cities never get built, the very idea of them should frighten us all into taking concrete steps now to reduce our carboon footprints and dependance on oil and coal for energy needs and transportation."

"Polar cities are a preposterous idea that nevertheless should be taken seriously. Consider this: what if it really comes to that? What then? And more importantly, what now?"

Excerpt:

Environmental activist Dan Bloom has come up with a solution to global warming that apparently no one else is talking about: polar cities. That's right, Bloom envisions future polar cities will house some 200 million survivors of global warming in the far distant future (perhaps in the year 2500, he says on his blog), and he's lobbying on the Internet for their planning, design and construction -- now!"
