Wheat, maple syrup, chickens, fish, bees, strawberries, corn, grapes, rice, tomatoes and sugar will have to be able to evolve as fast as us mammals, too. Looks like NatureTech needs to invent faster evolution for them too, if we want to survive our new Jurassic.
We need variety. But in some eco systems just one species is left to dominate. I’m sure our great great great great grandkids will balk at roast jellyfish with jellyfish sauce on the dinner table, let alone being stuck with just jellyfish icecream for desert.

So the next evolution innovation: faster co-evolution of entire ecosystems. But speeded-up mammalian evolution is a terrific, inventive solution to climate change. At least for mammals like us, it is.
As for the second problem – the giant footprint of our species on this planet. Simple. What if we were just to radically reduce our size?
