Climate change already feels chaotic in a sense that earth is heading towards so many tipping points that it is impossible to keep track.
In addition, each aspect resides in a niche of a complex system, difficult to grasp.
AMOC collapse, melting permafrost methane release, species extinction, intense El Niño, ...
All of them are not easily to follow, let alone understand. It's getting wild.
To my surprise, media coverage nowadays is mostly about heat waves as a phenomenon, leaving human impact on it aside.
A couple years ago, I would have expected some kind of awakening with global efforts, but the opposite is the case.
So wouldnt it make sense to give up on the protect a disneyland of nature idea, and genemodify the rainforrest to adapt to heat? Fast forward around die off,adaption,recovery?
Adaptation to heat is extremely difficult because of protein denaturation. Enzymes are affected even more. Many of them are unchanged mostblikely since the beginning of life. We can't just GMO them. Interstellar travel is waaay more easy.
