This seems disingenuous. Genetically modified organisms created in a lab have no bearing on the proliferation of biodiversity outside the lab.

- mirimir 7y agoI wouldn't say "no bearing". But if current trends continued, there wouldn't be much left except people, livestock, pets, crop plants (including trees), insect pests, and microorganisms. And stuff in zoos and botanical gardens. However, that's unlikely. Well before that, human society and population will likely collapse, due to climate change.
- Thev00d00 7y agoI think he was referring to boring old selective breeding
- TeMPOraL 7y agoGP likely isn't talking about lab-grown experimental GMOs, but regular farming. Many if not most of the food we eat is completely unlike it was before humans invented agriculture.
- toss1 7y agoWhoever is downvoting this comment is ignorant. GMOs and cultivars grown in labs not only have no positive effect on biodiversity, they have significant negative effects. See more detailed post above.
