She has shown this propensity in her attack of crop genetic engineering while demonstrating little knowledge of what they are and how they are made. She is simply an elitist, anti-modernist doomsdayer in the mo(u)ld of Vogt and Ehrlich who would like for the world to go back to subsistence farming at the cost of productivity.

There's plenty to criticise about GMO crops- both from scientific and societal angles but she completely flubs it like Paksitani slip fielders of the 90s.

I am not hearing about them anymore and I suspect they have been repackaged as global climate change Burning Coal releases humongous amounts of SO2 into the atmosphere. And when these toxic gases mix with water in the form of rain it results in acid rains forming Sulphuric acid which affects the rivers, forests and ecosystems associated with it. Starting from the 1970s they started using reactants while burning coal in the smokestacks which collects these gases from getting emitted into the atmosphere. Today all the coal plants use these methods and that's why we don't hear about acid rains anymore. BacktoCricaddict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
