The First Presentation Of A Polar City
By Nick April 4, 2008
The British chemist and inventor James Lovelock predicted that in worst case, the whole humanity will retreat to the Poles within a century, because the areas around the tropics will roast by season of global warming.
Although this scenario seems more like science fiction than reality, Danny Bloom, a translator, editor and freelance writer living in Taiwan took this warning seriously and joined forces with artist Deng Cheng-Hong to imagine and represent how a city from an Arctic zone would look like.
Dr. Lovelock bases his prediction on the fact that Earth hosts a population of six billion and is headed to eight in just generations to come. He says that we need to learn to retreat from the world that we live in, and when we will try to stay away from the heat, we will migrate to the Poles.
There are already plans to intensify Arctic resources exploitation and test shipping routes could soon become practical if the floating sea ice in the Arctic will keep vanishing in summers. The Coast Guard is intended to establish the first permanent Arctic presence, that will be a helicopter station located in Barrow, Alaska, which is the most northern town in the United States.
