These toxic hellscapes also add up to less than a third of the Earth's total surface area, so even in the best case scenario they couldn't hold a whole lot of people. And regarding overpopulation, exponential population growth will outstrip any space colonization plan, so it really is a silly idea.

Human population growth isn't exponential thou. And my understanding is that people who study human population growth believe that it will slow in future. But yeah, still a silly idea :o)
