Engineering Humans: A new solution to Climate Change? Yeah, like inducing intolerance to red meat, making humans smaller to reduce the amount of energy they consume, etc, etc. These same people would likely throw a hissy fit if they had to eat a genetically-modified tomato, but going Frankenstein on the human race is just ducky. Why don’t we just turn people into plants so they would be able to thrive in an environment dominated by pseudo-scientific fertilizer?

The sad thing is that they fail to realise that even if the planet had been devoid of humans in the first place, the climate would still continue to change as it always has done - ice ages and interglacials would carry on in cycles as always, and CO2 would go up and down, and eventually in however million years it takes, the earth will cease to exist, as it must.
Our mere presence here makes absolutely no difference, unless of course we deliberately destroy ourselves and everything else, which seems as if that is what they are suggesting we do. Very strange.
Looks as if the Greens and their allies are looking for a "final solution" to the climate change problem. It's the same old discredited eugenics movement dressed up in pseudo-scientific glad rags.
Crap! I'm 6'3" and about 250. Am I going to become Soylent Green? If that happens, well, I like you guys, so tell the gooberment you can have me so y'all don't starve. Think fondly of me is all I ask.
This is Nazi/Margaret Sanger stuff. Get rid of the so-called inferiors, weed them out. They would be outraged if you said that, because they think they are so smart. The concept of Frankenstein is useful here because Frankenstein is about the horrors that can result when man messes with human life in a morbid fashion. These people are "green priests" in that they bring a religious fervor to environmentalism as a replacement for where faith or religion should be in their lives.
Uhm so in order to protect gaia who it seems is not able to protect herself, the green priests must use science to become gods in order to change society. How insane...
Perfectly put, Sister.
Acting like they're God: bio-ethicist's toughest role yet.
Plants would be good. Think Litle Shop of Horrors......'Feeeeed me Seymour!'
