Meanwhile, the President of Indonesia recently announced his government was seriously considering plans to move the country’s capital inland because, among other things, rising sea levels combined with a sinking city meant that it could be underwater very soon.

So what’s the solution? One company has proposed a new luxury floating dwelling that would allow the rich to live in relative comfort while bobbing along on even the most turbulent of waters.

For all intents and purposes, it’s a houseboat. But given this is a solution for the fabulously wealthy, the descriptor “houseboat” is obviously a bit too pedestrian.
