I suppose if your goal is to keep as many human beings alive as possible, then the noble laureates are right.
However if your goal is to keep the earth alive for as long as possible then it seems Greenpeace is right.
- maxerickson 10y agoNothing we as humans will ever do will destroy life on Earth. We might level a devastating blow to the diversity that exists today (and thus also to ourselves), but life will persist here until the Sun eats the planet.
- millerm 10y agoCould you please explain your statement "keep the earth alive"? I don't understand what this means.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoI'm merely commenting on the Greenpeace fears. They write that the GMO crops are untested and have the potential cross-pollinate with non-GMO crops in an irreversible way, thereby permanently changing the local non-GMO ecosystem.
- morgante 10y agoWhy would GMOs intrinsically hurt the environment? You could in fact engineer crops which require substantially less resources and are better for the environment than traditional crops.
