Setting other disagreements aside, thanks for this simple explanation of exactly what KBLB is doing as it relates to "acclimation." There's sure to be many continued efforts to muddy the waters, but, let's always clarify this aspect of what they're doing by referring posters back to this post. Thanks

Jealmc: “So in order to change the way a certain breed of silkworm reacts to its environment is to change its genetic makeup.”

Acclimation takes place within a single organism, right there in the definition you provided. I can acclimate to different altitudes. But I may not be able to acclimate to the Peruvian high mountains and thrive like the people there do. They have a different genetic makeup that allows them to acclimate to their extreme environment.

Changing the genetic makeup happens across generations. The parent and the child have different ‘genetic makeups.’ KBLB does this through genetic insertions and through cross-breeding.

That is not acclimation. That is genetic modification. Thompson surely understands the difference between these two terms, but he uses a misleading one. Why? Could it be that he is trying to disguise the nature of the problem he is facing?
