Making uninformed guesses can lead to dangerous oversights, especially when dealing with complex issues like climate change. We must rely on well-sourced, scientific data to make informed decisions that affect our planet and future generations.

While the eradication of malaria is a noble goal, using gene drives to render mosquito species extinct involves considerable ecological risks. We cannot predict the long-term effects on ecosystems. Natural balance should be maintained through less drastic measures.

I disagree with the implementation of the North American Water and Power Alliance plan. The environmental impact of such large-scale water diversion projects is profound and often underestimated. We need to focus on sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions rather than grandiose engineering schemes that disrupt natural ecosystems.
