I'm really hoping we can do something about that coral reef we found that is resistant to heat and bleaching and learn from it or maybe even somehow use it to genetically help the other reefs
Jesus christ no. What we need to do is stop flying, stop driving cars, stop eating meat and fish and dumping waste in the ocean... We cannot bioengineering all the coral. Being open to new technology to save us, at some point just resembles waiting for Jesus to rapture you on doomsday.
Um...i don't know what i said made you think i was a fossil fuel person. I agree completely. But we are going to need to help the corals that have died off and are struggling even if we stop all fossil fuels today. That is what i was getting at. I guess cause of other assholes, i can see why you'd assume that im a "just out techno climate change", but I'm not.
Fixing our emissions problem absolutely is the most important part, but technology for ecology restoration is ALSO very important. There are things (quite possibly the survival of many species of coral) that are already gone or past the point of no return, that are necessary to fix or replace to prevent further collapse of ecosystems. And don't downplay the effort and work done by biologists and ecologists to save individual species, it is difficult and often underappreciated.
Yep, exactly what i was getting at
All of us at Lemmy only eat beans.
