Modern Boat Homes to Survive Rising Sea Level
Holland may soon be dotted with floating buildings as Dutch architects plan against global warming. The country is already 20 percent below sea level, and rising water levels are a concern. A flooded river is no threat to a floatable building with airtight foundations, and with slack built into electricity and water cables feeding it, the whole kaboodle can simply bob upwards. The gallery shows some building concepts, dreamed up by a company called Waterstudio, among others. Melting ice caps? Bring'em on. [Waterstudio, NPR via io9] More » -

21-Green-Gadget Salute to Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize Winner

The former vice prez was honored for his tireless efforts to let everyone know that climate change is real and that we should all be pretty damned scared about it. We certainly are, but we've been thinking the sky is falling for the past couple of decades at least. Anyway, to pay tribute to our first elected president who never served a day as president in the Oval Office, we decided to commemorate the occasion with Gizmodo's highest honor: a 21-gadget salute to Al Gore, a gallery concentrating on those items that might do just a little something to save the environment on this pale blue dot we call home.
