"This... should give the new population at Castle Marshes the best potential to adapt to its surroundings and to cope with the impacts of climate change."

These people are quite literally insane. “Killer bees” were a somewhat similar type of hybrid, albeit bred for different reasons.

I don’t suppose they saw the movie “Arachnophobia”?
Hybrid spiders?
Hybrids usually are sterile.
What idiots.

Since I was at Disney recently at their “Living with the Land” exhibit, I looked at my pictures and saw a quote from Hans Christian Anderson:
“The secret powers of nature are generally discovered unsolicited”.
Quite fitting (OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE) until I tried to find the source and perhaps read it in context. The quote I find on the web? “The secret powers of nature are generally discovered in solicitude”.
Completely different meanings. One suggests that if we don’t defend the planet, it will shrug us off like fleas...the other...sit alone in a meadow to really understand nature. Who knew? Disney lied for a political agenda. Either that or it doesn’t translate properly.

Righto.
Except they need the book version, not the movie version, which wasn’t particularly Mobile.
