John, why did you cut off the end of my question? " How is that an
environmental issue?"
You have the damnedest way of shaping questions to fit the answer.
for example.
"GMO biotech is harmful for many reasons. This year in the US, up to 92 % of
all soybean was treated with roundup. That is because Roundup ready soybeans
are now the most common variety of crop. Frogs in the US are very sick and
dissappearing in the midwest. The frog is very sensitive to the surfactants
in the Roundup Ready soybeans."
No cause/effect shown. Frogs are declining world wide, in areas where
roundup is used, in areas where it isn't.
"If you want a completely dead ecosystem devoid of all life, then use
Roundup
ready GMO crops. That way every single hectare of arable land will be
treated to get rid of weeds: along fence rows, in the irrigation ditches, on
the crops, on the lawns, and along the highways. But if you like frogs,
birds, fish, well you will have to go somewhere else. "
Hyperbole or what?
"No one onces these artificial organisms on their plants. Just imagine the
consequences of the GE chinnook salmon that grows to 90 lbs in 12 months.
Hell if several of those get out into the environment, whats to say will
happen? Does the USEPA know what will happen? Probably not."
Highly unlikely that these Frankenfish can survive in the wild. This is
nothing new, BYTW, fish culturists have been doing this for many years. Some
of these weird fish do survive and cause problems, but in this case. . .it's
the Scots Verdict.
