obsessed with florida’s invasive species crisis. let’s start with burmese pythons, which have obliterated the everglades: 99 percent of raccoons, 99 percent of opossums, 88 percent of bobcats gone. local rabbits and foxes apparently extinct. it’s time to introduce a gene drive.

i want to be perfectly clear, here: we should genetically modify burmese pythons in such a manner as they only produce fertile males and sterile females, then release them into the everglades. crash the population. start thinking about lion fish.

we already do a lot of this. everglades are like 1.5 million miles, and we literally can’t hunt the pythons faster than they breed
