    If they want to be helpful they can work out how to engineer humans that can survive 40 degree heat and breathe co2.

    That’s what they’re fucking doing by bringing back the mammoth…

    They’ll run when they’re ready, but right now they’re learning to crawl. Or to put it differently, let them cook.

      I was being sarcastic, I don’t want bio-engineered humans adapted for extreme heat, I want us to not let our planet get to that point in the first place.

        Well that’s great and all, but what if that doesn’t happen? Would you rather be dead or living comfortably in a warmer climate?

          It’s not going to happen. Genetic experiments on humans is banned in many countries and even if that weren’t the case you’re talking about an enormously expensive social program of intervening in an entire generation at conception. Maybe a few billionaires would do it, but they can afford to live comfortably anyway and they don’t care if a few serfs die of heat exhaustion.
