  3. To be honest, the cat-like eyes thing is pretty damn cool but so would be super strength and invisibility.

  4. While we’re re-engineering, why not the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a bat and the nose of a dog? Our grandkids might look funny but think of their capabilities…

  8. A suggested 4th answer
    * A Devil’s Island Prison for all climate warmist pseudo-scientists, where they can’t leave until they invent either:
    a perpetual motion machine,
    a faster than light propulsion system for spaceships,
    or a home sized cold fusion power plant.

  9. I opt for solution set B:
    A) Use all frakenstein bio engineering crackpots as pellet cages in our reactors
    B)free lobotomies for all climate change hysterics (finish the job they stated themselves by over exposure to Al Gore movies)
    C) End the Man made/controlled clinate change hysteria by idling our cars 24/7 – true AGW belivers will rapture themselves by wrapping their mouths aound the tail pipes and taking a carbon bullet for Mother Gaia

  10. Take the more efective influenza virus that’s been engineered, and turn it loose in the world’s mega slums. It will sweep around the world and the fraction of the population with the healthiest immune systems will survive, and we can start over again.

  11. A theme song for the much anticipated event:

    red rain is coming down
    red rain
    red rain is pouring down
    pouring down all over me
    I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream
    I cannot make a single sound as you scream
    it can’t be that cold, the ground is still warm
    to touch this place is so quiet sensing that storm
    red rain is coming down

  12. : ∞ ≠ ø
    Good Choice . I abhor violence, I fear though that the Long Night of Barbarism is a coming like A black storm on us all.

  16. While emotionally satisfying, is option 3 not exactly the same sort of nonsense for which we deride the “tolerant left”?
    Personally I could do without the slight smirk it elicits in favour of retaining the moral high ground on the civility front.

  17. I voted #3, thereby voting to increase the ?relectivity, absorbance? of the lower atmosphere. I have no idea what the consequences will be, but I believe that they will be ?negligible,catastrophic?.
    Whee! can I join the IPCC?

  19. The best and fastest way to combat climate change, is that all those who believe in Climate Change, male and female. Be made endentured slaves to old Geezers like me and all other farmers etc. To serve as plantation labour. The good looking ones, females of course could become house slaves if they can cook and clean house. And keep their mouths shut. Of course they would be expected to never use any fossil fuel etc. As to be enviromentally friendly we would only use re newable fuels like wood. Which means wood stoves for heating and cooking. No energy saving appliances etc. So all washing and housekeeping tasks would have to be done as our Mothers and Grandmothers did by hand. We would of course require all farm work to be carried out the old way, meaning heavy manual labour. Until their bodies are worn out. When they are too old for farm work, they would be moved up to the large gardening endeavors again to be worked by hand. If unfit for that they could be put to work processing food and by products. For example. If they are too worn out for heavy farm work, they could still chew hides etc to make leather for shoes etc. Or they could draw water and haul it on their backs, or handle firewood and stove cleaning etc. Just think of all the ways they could make a contribution to reducing global warming in a meaningful way. As most of them are athiests, they would be required to spend Sunday mornings studying all of the Global Warming Skeptic literature and listening to tapes and they would have a test to ensure they were getting the message down properly..The Floggings Would Continue Until Their Morale Improved.

  20. Kate.
    It is because of thr attidued of your last comment I send money. Keep up the good work.
    For everyone who has not donated man up. For the politically sensitive person up.

  21. Ford Prefect, For those who lack the will to click the PayPal button, I can sell the moral courage enhancement pills for $200.

  22. The world has too many “ethicists”.
    Some money quotes:

    parents could make use of genetic engineering or hormone therapy in order to birth smaller, less resource-intensive children.

    I wonder: Is that how we got Bill Mahr? I guess there are side-effects.

    I think it’s important to note that it wouldn’t necessarily need to be a pill. We have also toyed around with the idea of a patch that might stimulate the immune system to reject common bovine proteins, which could lead to a similar kind of lasting aversion to meat products.

    Say, can you help me? Am I wearing a patch for “ethicists”?

    a car uses more fuel per mile to carry a heavier person, more fabric is needed to clothe larger people, and heavier people wear out shoes, carpets and furniture at a quicker rate than lighter people, and so on.

    Occupy Fatso!

    The reason we are even considering these solutions is to prevent climate change, which is a really serious problem, and which might affect the well being of millions of people including the child. And so in that context, if on balance human engineering is going to promote the well being of that particular child, then you might be able to justify the solution to the child.

    “Look, honey. I know you’re only 2 foot 3. That’s the price we had to pay for our honeymoon in St. Barts.”

    given certain fixed allocations of greenhouse gas emissions, human engineering could give families the choice between two medium sized children, or three small sized children. From our perspective that would be more liberty enhancing than a policy that says “you can only have one or two children.” A family might want a really good basketball player, and so they could use human engineering to have one really large child.

    “It’s entirely up to you. You want two kids at 5 foot 4 apiece, ya gotta wear the anti-bovine patch.”
    We shall reap the whirlwind.

  24. Had to laugh at that “high ground” comment,and Kate’s reply.
    High ground? When you’re dealing with the acolytes of Saul Alinsky!!?
    No surprise I voted #3.

  25. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of SDA and want to win this fight as much as anyone here. All that I am saying is that the “tolerant left” gag (which i love btw) only works if we don’t allow ourselves to descend to their level.
    I thought it was a valid observation and frankly I expected a more considered response. In fact I thought that SDA was exactly about the moral high ground in a world of progressive opportunists.
    And agree or disagree I will donate because i think this SDA is spot on 90% of the time.

  26. Well, you were wrong! SDA is about exposing hypocrisy of the left and holding them to their own selective standards.
    They authored the rules of political correctness, not we.

  27. Go Kate!
    On a science note, it seems to me none of these “scientists” has ever built anything. If they had, they’d know trade-offs can kill you.
    Do we really want to create a brand new race of humans who are actually different on the DNA level? Don’t we have enough trouble with the non-different ones we have already?
    And really, do you want your kids stuck at a stature small enough that they’d make a really good meal for a dog?
    Damn it, now I’ve got Randy Newman playing in my head.

    please just move a little to the left, as you have the comprehension skills for over there

  29. I answered #3 reflexively, but on second thought we should research the topic some more before surrounding the earth with a fine mist of pulverized watermelons. I susggest we take the most offensive 10,000 or so of the world’s watermelons and carry out a limited experiment over the S. Pacific to determine local climatic effects. If these are minimal, a larger scale operation can be undertaken, but it would be more practical to have a massive advertising campaign to encourage people to turn themselves into environmentally friendly fertilizer.
    As far as genetically determining size of children, the potential occurrence of a new ice age would require our children to be as large as possible to better deal with the cold. It may be that the current “epidemic” of obesity is due to a primitive ice-age detecting program we all carry ensuring survival when the cold comes..

  30. Heh, Loki
    “…the current “epidemic” of obesity is due to a primitive ice-age detecting program we all carry…
    I find that idea oddly compelling, as if I WANT to believe it. Looking in mirror… turning sideways… Nah,… It’s definitely sloth.

  32. I have no interest in the high ground.

    “I have no interest in the high ground. My only interest is winning.”
    At the particular point there is less margin for such concepts. John McCain proved that nice guys finish last…..
    Rule #1…don’t die
    Rule #2…always abide by rule #1
    Rule #3…there are only 2 rules.
    We don’t make the rules…we just play the game.
