Yeah if this thing ran on bunker fuel it would be utterly awful for the climate, in terms of per passenger emissions.

  Yes if you count per km travelled, maybe. But if it aimlessly floats for years and you count tons of co2 per year per person... Maybe it's not that bad. General consensus is to shit on cruise ships, but I feel they are actually quite efficient. Fitting 5000people, basically entire town on a few hundred square meters is an amazing feat.

    If you can do it on the water, you can do it cheaper on dry land.

      On the open ocean, the containment that keeps the 5000 people from driving everywhere is free and perceived as idyllic. On land, attempts to contain 5000 people and prevent them from driving would be costly and considered dystopian.
