Floating Cities, are they Steampunk or?

[JackLuis]

The Dutch are so clever, with 'Non-existent' Global Warming threatening to drown their cities, they figured out how to save their culture.

Now all we need is Dirigibles and some sort of Thermalistic Phazmagory!

Nope, the cities would have to float in the air. All the Dutch are doing is reinventing Venice, Italy. Of course, being Dutch, they would probably do a more hygenic job of it.

That looks like it came straight from that Retropolis site Xssve linked.

But, has no one told these silly Dutch there's no such thing as global warming, no, no, no?

It takes a lotta coal burning turning water into vapor = Steam! to suspend a city in the air....one of Micheal Moorcocks and Jules Vernes more fanciful notions, I'm afraid.....

I think Steampunk Aerocities would be lifted by Aether or some other form of energy that we electro-hostages missed.
