I hesitate to do this... but I'm adding a post of mine from another thread which seems pertinent here...
Another entry for the "You really just can't help but fiddle with it, can you?"
Here I offer two more examples of the exploitation of climate hysteria... (ostensibly for profit because: it always is.)
From NewScientist: Anti-methane vaccine could reduce the huge climate impact of cow burps
and another: Controversial idea to save corals would replace them with new species
Like so many articles exploring (perhaps promoting) this kind of thing... it offers up "solutions" which alarm me to no end...
The first, a "new" idea... vaccinate cows with engineered bacteria which will 'adjust' bovine chemistry so as to produce 'up to' 13% reduction in methane (the gas of evil.) They already tried it in 10 test cows and it worked. No guarantees on the cows themselves, or their milk, or meat... that's all incidental because: "We have to save the planet."
The second is a hail to the past... because we've done it again and again... species transplantations. Since some environments are changing abruptly, we 'transplant' dying coral colonies with colonies from where they already are growing in similar conditions. I will repeat "species transplantation." It's not like that has EVER gone right before... but now is different because: "We gotta save the planet."
George Carlin had a routine about that... it's a bit harsh... but cements his legacy as a legend.
We exist "within" this ecosystem... we cannot now, nor likely will ever "control" it.
It's the fear they 'sell' that makes it a lie.
