  1. Dear Mr Hartmann and Dr Mann, Thank you Mr Hartmann for tackling subjects on your program that are not discussed on a lot of mainstream media outlets. To be fair, tipping points are not exactly the news you want to read about every day in the news. Thank you Dr Mann, for dedicating your time to solving this problem. May I offer another “solution” to the tipping points’ problem of global climate change? Could it be possible to use genetics i.e. genetic engineering on a massive, global scale to address the problem? What do I mean by genetic engineering? First of all, we can see that the faun and fauna on planet earth are incredibly fragile. Imagine a 1° degree increase in temperature and all the coral start dying because the amoeba inside of them cannot tolerate a 1° degree temperature rise in the seas! Insects cannot reproduce as Mr Hartmann pointed out with a 1°degree rise in temperature that destabilizes the male insect reproductive system. What is obvious is that humanity cannot turn off the tap on fossil fuels in the blink of an eye no matter how passionately David Attenborough pleads to the world’s leaders. No; gentlemen, I propose using our latest technical achievements in genetic manipulation and focus on tweaking the genetic DNA of all species to increase their tolerance to rising temperatures etc. If we can adjust the tolerance level via altering the genetic codes of the insects, plants, fish etc., affected by climate change, we just might be able to stabilize the faun and fauna to a respectable level. And I might add, we can continue by all means to decrease green-house gas levels. But we must be realistic, this cannot change for a generation or more and all of us know it. Let’s try the science approach? What have we got to lose?
