On the other side, atmospheric carbon dioxide-the most important greenhouse gas-dissolves into ocean water. Or because such modification might undermine efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or would be hubristically controlling nature. [...]the genetic modification would quickly disappear from the wild. The risk-risk tradeoff is no longer within nature-should coral reefs face climate change or our genetic tinkering?-but instead between nature and humans-should we extinguish a species to reduce our disease burden?
