Bishop Hill We didn't mean it!!
Roger Pielke Senior has an amusing post aboutthe rising sense of panic among environmentalists over the conclusions the IPCC is reaching about how to deal with the alleged impending climate catastrophe. He quotes a news release from an organisation called commondreams.org...
Environmental groups are [...] deeply concerned that the IPCC’s Summary for Policy Makers on climate mitigation, released earlier today, includes a recommendation for large- scale expansion of biofuels from monocultures, including from GM crops, even though monoculture expansion is a driving force behind the destruction of rainforests and other carbon sinks and reservoirs, thus accelerating climate change. The IPCC also recommend the expansion of large-scale agroforestry monoculture plantations. These plantations, which will include GM trees, are similarly linked to ecosystem destruction. Monoculture expansion is a major threat to the livelihoods and food sovereignty of communities many of which are already bearing the brunt of climate change disasters caused largely by the fossil fuel emissions of industrialised countries.
(My emphasis)
GM as well as nuclear? What can I say, other than bwaaahaahaahaahaaha...!
