What Are the Risks of Biotechnology in the Climate Context?
Despite its potential, biotechnology poses significant risks if misused. The release of genetically modified organisms into the environment can have unpredictable ecological impacts. These GMOs might crossbreed with wild species, leading to unforeseen consequences. Additionally, biofuel production can lead to deforestation and habitat loss if not managed sustainably, which may exacerbate rather than mitigate climate change.
