How Engineering the Human Body Could Combat Climate Change(YGTBSM)

The threat of global climate change has prompted us to redesign many of our technologies to be more energy-efficient. From lightweight hybrid cars to long-lasting LED's, engineers have made well-known products smaller and less wasteful. But tinkering with our tools will only get us so far, because however smart our technologies become, the human body has its own ecological footprint, and there are more of them than ever before. So, some scholars are asking, what if we could engineer human beings to be more energy efficient? A new paper to be published in Ethics, Policy & Environment proposes a series of biomedical modifications that could help humans, themselves, consume less.

Utter Insanity. Leftist lies and dribble.

but was on Drudge. Yes, I know he is no longer a good source.

That trick NEVER works.

If we turned ourselves into algae ...

Control freaks on parade, probably with enforcement powers.

The idea of this article smacks of eugenics. Margret Sanger and Adolf Hitler would be so proud.

....and liberals will volunteer the poor to be the test subjects.

Ping.

Maybe they could turn us into batteries.

Just strap on a pair of methane capturing Depends. Problem solved.

Yes, it always works. There a number of populations of smaller humans all over the world. How they got that way is a good question, but they exist.

You start turning the Sa'ami dwarves, the San people, Negritos in the Philippines, and several other groups loose and they could DOWNSIZE the greater part of humanity in a generation!

Give a Sa'ami guy a tumble, eh! He'll be a willing worker I am sure.

Can someone send them the memo that AGW is fake. The email must have gone to their spam list.

[TigersEye]

Maybe they'll let us experiment on prisoners again, Master!?! You know how I love that. Eh, heh heh.

[humblegunner]

Meh.

I keep midgets in a shed as pets.

[freedomfiter2]

We could just use people for bio diesel. Take God out of the equation and all you are left with is hell.

[UCANSEE2]

I think they already started.

Not a good source, yet we learn about it on Drudge?

Dr. Mengele? Dr. Mengele! 0bama’s Environment Czar for you on line #2.

Smaller people...hmmmm...has anyone contacted the NBA to get their take on this?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Woof!
