__Matthew Liao’s Cure for Climate Change__
There have been many ideas to help put climate change to an end but not many like Matthew Liao’s who co-authored a paper on genetically engineering humans to stop climate change. In the paper, Liao and his colleagues came up with a number of different ways to go about saving the world. For example, one of the ideas they came up with is to have more rods so we could better see at night thus reducing our need for electric lights. It sounds crazy, but it could actually be very effective. Sadly, there are still some downsides to adding more rods to your eyes, like we might have to compromise some of our day vision to get it, so basically being more like a cat.

Another proposal given by Liao and his colleagues is to induce allergy to meat in humans to help cut back on our consumption of animals. I personally think that is very silly, because meat is a big part of our diets and I feel like that could go very badly if this actually becomes a thing. But, then again we could always find alternatives and according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States 14.5% of all greenhouse gas pollution comes from livestock.

Another thing that I personally find awful and that they should never do is modify people’s genes to actually make them shorter, because smaller people tend to consume less food and require less energy. But, this sounds absolutely crazy to me; I think that the benefit definitely doesn’t outweigh the loss.

Why babies’ Eyes Change Color

==== Most Caucasian adults in America are born with blue eyes, but after six months they change to brown hazel or green leaving only one fifth of Caucasian adults with baby blue eyes. That is because when these babies are both they don’t have the melanin levels that they would have as an adult. The change usually takes place around the six month mark of a baby’s life, but it can happen anytime in the first three years of a child’s life. So, as the melanin level in a child goes up over time it could also change the color of their eyes. ====

There is a way to tell if your child’s eyes will change color after infancy. That is by looking around the edge of their eye from the side so that there is no light affecting your view. If there is gold in the iris of their eye then they are probably going to change in the next few years. If the eyes are fully blue with no blemishes then they will most likely stay that way.



Eye color is linked to genetics, but more complicated than once thought. Eye color is determined by fifteen different genes from the parents of an offspring. The melanin process is only in a small portion of those genes.

// Here is a very good example of an eye that will likely change colors because of the golden color in the iris. //

Here is where the melanin is located in an eye. As you get old the amount of this will rise and sometimes causing your eyes to change colors.
