       | No. (Well, OK, maybe in the short term, but certainly not in the
       | long run.)

       | Yes.

       | All of the major problems we face today are caused by people (and
       | specifically, by too many people). Changing the venue is not
       | going to solve any of those problems. If we can't achieve a
       | sustainable steady-state on land we're not going to be able to do
       | it on the water -- or anywhere else for that matter.
