Interesting how this pro enhancement podcasts is introduced. The climate change angle was before put forward Liao, S. M., Sandberg, A., & Roache, R. (2012). Human engineering and climate change. Ethics, Policy & Environment, 15(2), 206–221.
Looked into this line of argument in our EcoHealth piece Wolbring, G., Ecohealth through an ability studies and disability studies lens. In Ecological Health: Society, Ecology and Health, Gislason, M. K., Ed. Emerald: London, UK, 2013; Vol. 15, pp 91-107.
Of course huge impacts on disabled people but of course the whole discussion on hunan enhancements impacts disabled people Wolbring, G.; Diep, L.(2016) The Discussions around Precision Genetic Engineering: Role of and Impact on Disabled People Laws, 5(3), 37; doi: 10.3390/laws5030037

“What if humans are genetically unfit to overcome challenges like climate change and the growing inequality that looks set to define our future?
Julian Savulescu, visiting professor at Monash University and Uehiro professor of Practical Ethics at Oxford University, argues that modifying the biological traits of humans should be part of the solution to secure a safe and desirable future.”
