Super piece Matthias! I'm always looking for some optimism on the ongoing global change crisis. I've always wanted to ask the question to climate scientists, such as physicists, ocean experts etc, could there be some kind of mechanism that would trigger a dampening or slow down of warming (for example)?
If we come back to biology, many times the study of "unnatural systems" is discouraged. For example, in plant pathology, if you put model pathogen X on model plant Y, but this association does not exist in nature, you get harsh criticism, which is partly deserved. Maybe the trick would be to base your plant-pathogen system on predictions of migration of either organisms?
