Honestly? It reeks of blind idealism being handled unlimited power to run with the "this sounds like a good idea" ideas that sane people would have discarded years ago.
Like, what will be the result of fusing the San Andreas fault shut? As-is... it shifts slowly and there are many minor earthquakes a year. Seal it and it'll build up and let off what could be the most devastation earthquake California has ever seen.
"Rivers to build in Eastern Africa"... Eastern Africa already HAS rivers. This one makes him seem like he has only a vague idea of what he wants to do and no idea of even WHAT would be helpful.
"Extinct species of tiger"... Why bother? He's gonna recreate the Bali Tiger, which is hotly debated as to whether it is even a unique subspecies, and some consider it the same as a Sumatran Tiger(which aren't extinct). Soo... what's the point? Just making more tigers? Sure, the people of Bali have reasons why they would like to have Tigers. But what's Cyke gonna do? build a zoo and put Sumatran Tigers in it? That's what a sane person would do.... But the insinuation here is that he's just gonna dump a bunch of Tigers on Bali, an island that hasn't had wild tigers for 60+ years.
"children in the Ukraine to purge of birth defects" umm.. why specifically Ukraine? What's he going for here? He's talking about rewriting DNA, but... to what end? What is he targeting as a "birth defect"? The obvious answer is people who got radiation poisoning from Chernobyl... but... that's just a guess. Also.. that disaster was decades ago.
"rebuilding the Arctic ice shield"... um... he's talking about making the polar ice cap bigger... how much does he think it needs to be bigger?
