- NYU professor suggests we genetically engineer babies to be smaller and more 'energy-efficient'
- Other suggestions to save the planet include making humans intolerant to meat through pills or patches
- 'The Kyoto Protocol, has not produced demonstrable reductions in global emissions'
- Authors of study stress they are not advocating the ideas, just opening the debate up for radical cures

Mankind should consider extreme options - such as taking pills to wean
humanity away from eating meat or genetically engineering ourselves to
be smaller - in order to reduce our ecological footprint, says a leading
philosopher.
From reducing our reliance on fossil fuels to finding more energy-efficient ways to travel, the push is on for humans to combat the threat of global climate change.
But the ways in which we change our behaviour - either culturally or through technology - are still up for debate.
