I’m split between a sarcastic “Won’t anyone think of the corporations?!” response, and a “This is probably the only way to get real climate change action, when it affects their bottom line” response.
I also wonder how much time and money we’re going to spend on breeding and genetic engineering to fix things that didn’t need to break in the first place. Based on companies like Monsanto patenting seeds, I’m not enthusiastic about that future. “We’ve changed the climate so that you can’t grow anything but our seeds that only work once” would be a great premise for some dystopian sci fi.
