Time To Build Some Arks?

As the world's climate warms, sea waters will rise, and beach communities will be underwater, giving way to new waterfront properties that were not waterfront properties before.  If global warming is taking place at an increasingly alarming rate, melting the ice in Greenland and in Antarctica, a large portion of the world's population that live near the water may have to migrate, but where?  How about into something that can float, like an ark, a yacht, a cruise ship or a naval aircraft carrier?

There is no need to be alarmed.  Rising ocean waters is the least of man's problems.  It is man's modern lifestyle that is contributing to the demise of the planet, exploiting its resources for profit and self-gratification while poisoning its air and its water.  If people would live like Francis of Assisi, the skies over China will be blue again, the air over Pakistan will be clean again, the coral reefs will thrive again, obese people will go the way of extinction, cancer rates will drop and the overall health of humans will improve.  What will be a waste of time and resources and an exercise in futility is having a traveling pastor advising anyone on the effects of earth's changing climate.
