They'll be able to play hide'n'seek with the sharks.

When you see photographs of this tiny planet from space and think of the billions of tons of crap being spewed into our oceans and atmosphere over the last few hundred years its hard to believe that mother nature can cope.

Are you really that thick?

A quantum computer could be used to invent new molecules which act in the exact ways we want them.

Making non porous bags that dissolve after a day in water would be good?

May even clean up the Ganges so you have a nice clean place to swim on your holidays.

It was the Exxon Valdez, my mistake, it spewed 10.8 million US gallons of crude into Prince William Sound Alaska in 1989 and they are still cleaning up, one of the most devastating human caused environmental disasters.
I think they build them a lot better these days but still I wouldn't want one to hit our reef.
These tankers are floating time bombs but much needed for the present, its 2 minutes to midnight anyway so who gives a puck.

Yes, and a bike and a 2 stroke boat, I might have to start making my own ethanol, that might help a little.

Well that's why we have tankers. Until we are willing to walk and catch trains we then won't need so many tankers sailing about.

I would have to put a paper bag over my head to mix with the commoners and catch public transport.
