Can we genetically engineer ourselves to combat climate change?<p>Increase melanin, estrogen and growth hormones (increasing surface area), decrease testosterone, reshape fat and vessels, slow down blood flow and other desirable features.<p>Maybe we should just focus on stopping climate change by controlling consumer habits and bad actors, reducing population and migrating to colder places than intergalactic space reflectors&#x2F;blockers&#x2F;reducers.<p>And we do need better sunscreens.

Let&#x27;s farm Azolla on a massive scale, trigger another Azolla event.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Azolla_event" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Azolla_event</a><p>Also make it a law for buildings in urban environments to have white roofs. Heat islanding is a very real problem and just painting stuff white seems to help.
