Tell me you don’t understand science by referencing a genetically modified gray wolf.

Trump is too busy eating crayons to think about much else

He’s just excited about the thought of hurting the environment. He doesn’t know what the environment is, but he knows that the people he is afraid of care about it

It’s a designer wolf, that’s it

That’s what happens when a crowd of bloody muppets, who: don’t understand science, refuse to learn about it, refuse to understand what specialists are talking about, take conclusions from a mix of wishful belief + assumptions + pulp fiction, manages to get one of themselves in power. And if anything it proves to me that stupidity is worse than malice.

Like, let’s pretend for a moment that they totally resurrected the dire wolf, instead of editing a few grey wolf genes and calling it a day. And let’s pretend that this strategy would be viable for multiple species, even dinos. You’re still doing a lot more effort to resurrect a species than to just keep it alive, you know? The efficient strategy here is to protect those species.

About

Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans. Scientists have estimated that there are around 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. However, only around 1.2 million species have been identified and described so far, most of which are insects. This means that millions of other organisms remain a complete mystery.

Over generations, all of the species that are currently alive today have evolved unique traits that make them distinct from other species. These differences are what scientists use to tell one species from another. Organisms that have evolved to be so different from one another that they can no longer reproduce with each other are considered different species. All organisms that can reproduce with each other fall into one species. Read more…
