I do. 
It's the second part of that that's really important to me. The solid arguments bit. My beef with these sorts of things is never that we aren't facing a given problem (or won't sometime in the future), it's the solution that is sold afterwards that rubs me the wrong way in a lot of cases recently.
Here, let me give you the opposite end of this Cinj. Suppose I came to you and said that you definitely should have children. Why? Because we have in our grasp, right now, the knowledge and ability to change the world. We can feed the masses, we can repair environmental damage and severely limit further damage. You should have children because they will live long, happy, healthy lives. That the tides of opinion are shifting, and whats really needed are young people with fresh ideas and a new vision for the future. Hell Cinjin, we need people like you to breed like fucking rabbits, and raise your kids to care about the things you care about. We're trying to save our species after all.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
