Changing the DNA of Living Things to Fight Climate Change
Changing the DNA of Living Things to Fight Climate Change
By tweaking the DNA of bacteria, scientists aim to cut the use of chemical fertilizers that are worsening global warming. Some worry about unintended consequences.
Broke: making domestic animals and plants not crap out with a 1 degree rise in temp.
Woke: genetically engineered humans who can stroll around on Mercury, frolick on Venus, take a nap on the long journey between star systems to conserve energy cubes.
Great news, though this won’t do much against climate change. This is treating a symptom, not a disease
It displaces the use of nitrate fertilizers, which are made using huge amounts of methane. It's one less use of fossil fuels.
That's a big deal.
