Great, let’s create the ultimate invasive species
- YellOh 3y agoPretty sure what y'all are talking about already exists and it's called running bamboo. Grows aggressively fast, spreads quickly, and pretty successfully invasive.
- monktastic1 3y agoYes, the best way out of human hubris is more human hubris!
- jredwards 3y agoGenetically modifying plants has saved millions, if not billions of people (https://allthatsinteresting.com/norman-borlaug-green-revolution https://allthatsinteresting.com/norman-borlaug-green-revolut...). Decrying it as an inherently foolish practice is silly.
- mrguyorama 3y agoHumans have been modifying wild plants to work better for us and worse for themselves since before written history.
- jredwards 3y agoIt doesn't have to be engineered for aggressive growth to be engineered for greater carbon capture.
- morkalork 3y agoIf Monsanto could invent terminator seeds for their products I don't see why the same couldn't be done for trees specializing in carbon capture.
