GP isn't real big on science bluestateguy Jun 2016 #1
Believe me, I know. The entire organization consists of people who couldn't pass high school... NNadir Jun 2016 #2
Exacty. They couldn't, but Greenpeace woudl pass easily scscholar Jul 2016 #79
Bullshit. kristopher Jul 2016 #6
No, it doesn't. It has lost all credibility with anyone who cares about ethics and science. HuckleB Jul 2016 #8
That's certainly the right wing meme that corporate bad actors love to spread. kristopher Jul 2016 #9
There is nothing right wing about accurate information. HuckleB Jul 2016 #18
What is your specific criticism? kristopher Jul 2016 #22
FFS, the problems with Greenpeace's history of BS aimed at GMOs is spelled out in the OP. HuckleB Jul 2016 #28
And you have no understanding of the topic of science and ethics. kristopher Jul 2016 #29
That is the funniest thing you could possibly post. HuckleB Jul 2016 #30
You haven't posted anything that impeaches Greenpeace. kristopher Jul 2016 #35
I have, and your denial of that reality is really sad. HuckleB Jul 2016 #36
Really, we understand your position. kristopher Jul 2016 #39
"We." And you just made up "my position." HuckleB Jul 2016 #40
You in post #8 kristopher Jul 2016 #44
And you repeat yourself. HuckleB Jul 2016 #55
You claim Greenpeace is motivated to lies and distortion due to the fact they are a nonprofit. kristopher Jul 2016 #59
And again you put words into my mouth. HuckleB Jul 2016 #61
You said it explicitly. kristopher Jul 2016 #65
I did not say what you said in your rewording. HuckleB Jul 2016 #66
lol SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #14
Accurate information is hilarious, apparently. HuckleB Jul 2016 #19
you make it clear where you put your faith SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #48
Evidence and the scientific process that gives us the best evidence. HuckleB Jul 2016 #56
lol SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #58
Cute. HuckleB Jul 2016 #60
Climate change and the sixth global mass-extinction event is happening now SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #62
Yes, it is. HuckleB Jul 2016 #63
lol SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #64
It is, but not for the fictions you imagine. HuckleB Jul 2016 #67
Science Fiction SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #68
I know you do. HuckleB Jul 2016 #69

But it has Green and Peace in the name. progressoid Jul 2016 #16
That's all that is necessary! HuckleB Jul 2016 #72
Of course the articles you source from note that Greenpeace does do good work Scootaloo Jul 2016 #84
The harm Greenpeace has done is immense and it does not give a rip about repair. HuckleB Jul 2016 #91
If GP is pro-science... LouisvilleDem Jul 2016 #93
lol -fubar SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #13
"None of us is as dumb as all of us" AZ Progressive Jul 2016 #3
WaPo has it too. progressoid Jul 2016 #4
Thanks. It think this was the original report. The number of Laureate signatories is now 110... NNadir Jul 2016 #10
Greenpeace Response to GMO Scientists' Statement kristopher Jul 2016 #5
Greenpeace's response is more pseudoscience nonsense, nothing more. HuckleB Jul 2016 #7
The nuclear industry loves to try blaming Greenpeace for their failures also. kristopher Jul 2016 #11
This has nothing to do with the nuclear industry. HuckleB Jul 2016 #20
Sure it does. kristopher Jul 2016 #24
You really don't have a leg to stand on here. HuckleB Jul 2016 #27
You completely lack understanding of the issue of ethics and science. kristopher Jul 2016 #31
I'm not misrepresenting anything. You are defending the indefensible. HuckleB Jul 2016 #32
Got it. You believe corporations are motivated by profit and power seeking to act ethically... kristopher Jul 2016 #37
And now you put words in my mouth. HuckleB Jul 2016 #38
Deliberately misrepresenting the position of your opponents... kristopher Jul 2016 #41
I'm glad you acknowledge that, finally. HuckleB Jul 2016 #42
How clever of you to ... kristopher Jul 2016 #45
Oh, so you weren't coming around. HuckleB Jul 2016 #57
If corporate abuse is the problem, then address that issue. progressoid Jul 2016 #15
Their position is clearly set out kristopher Jul 2016 #17
Not really. progressoid Jul 2016 #21
They *are* working to implement it. kristopher Jul 2016 #23
Sure. Just as long as GMOs aren't included. progressoid Jul 2016 #26
So you don't believe that the legal structures corps work to have implemented are meaningful? kristopher Jul 2016 #33
Sure, but those legal structures will exist even without GMOs. progressoid Jul 2016 #43
GMOs are only one manifestation of the problem. kristopher Jul 2016 #46
But it's the one manifestation that everyone (including GP) freaks out about. progressoid Jul 2016 #49
No it isn't. kristopher Jul 2016 #50
Cherry picking? progressoid Jul 2016 #88
But that would make sense! HuckleB Jul 2016 #98
Coincidentally, I talked to a farmer yesterday about this very subject. progressoid Jul 2016 #99
GP is hunting down the last whale at this very moment SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #12
I, and 110 Nobel Prize winners, agree. Greenpeace is ignorant, and in my opinion, evil. NNadir Jul 2016 #25
You are here with a nuclear axe to grind - nothing more. kristopher Jul 2016 #34
vast damage to the planet. SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #47
LOL? I'm sure you're giggling. I'm not. Seven million people die from air pollution each... NNadir Jul 2016 #52
yea SoLeftIAmRight Jul 2016 #53
Don't worry much about the goofiness on this thread. HuckleB Jul 2016 #75
I can't say I'm worried. Actually, I can't see much of the goofiness, as I use the "ignore"... NNadir Jul 2016 #94
I went with ignore, for a while, but realized it tends to let the fictions off the hook. HuckleB Jul 2016 #97
I used to feel the same way. I changed my mind though. If one goes in deep enough with these... NNadir Jul 2016 #101
humans are the PROBLEM. they are doing too well. pansypoo53219 Jul 2016 #51
Considering that every organism on the planet are genetically modified organisms, Agnosticsherbet Jul 2016 #54
This is a true statement. n/t. NNadir Jul 2016 #74
How did our ancestors manage to get shark DNA into the human genome? n/t eridani Jul 2016 #106
Every organism has evolved, there fore every organism is genetically modified Agnosticsherbet Jul 2016 #107
There is no evolutionary case in which DNA from unrelated species are mutually inserted, period. eridani Jul 2016 #108
There is noting special about a gene whether it comes from a Shark, human, banana, or a blowfly. Agnosticsherbet Jul 2016 #110
Look - I have a small sympathy with Greenpeace's stance Lithos Jul 2016 #76
What does this mean? HuckleB Jul 2016 #82
Here Lithos Jul 2016 #85
So Monsanto has upheld its patents, and...? HuckleB Jul 2016 #92
I have personally met Monsanto scientists, and toured their mass spec labs in Saint Louis. NNadir Jul 2016 #86
Sorry Lithos Jul 2016 #89
Sorry, but I am talking about direct contact with their scientists. NNadir Jul 2016 #90
And I'm talking about the company Lithos Jul 2016 #96
I am aware of the FAO, it's potato diversity and banana diversity programs and a whole host... NNadir Jul 2016 #100
Thanks - it's a fun 4th of July Lithos Jul 2016 #102
Lithos, you are one of the few voices of reason in this thread. I appreciate Nay Jul 2016 #103
Just to add a new Counterpunch article about golden rice; seems there's Nay Jul 2016 #117
Oh goody. A barely referenced article from a smug cultural imperialist. NNadir Jul 2016 #118
A Monsanto scientist once told me, "Monsanto is evil!" bananas Jul 2016 #104
The anti-science pattern is common in other areas Lithos Jul 2016 #112
This post is entirely filled with specious associations that I will address at some other time. NNadir Jul 2016 #116
Exactly. HuckleB Jul 2016 #113

Ha Ha. Evil joke. The OP is about a freaking GMO public relations shit fling. Scientific Jul 2016 #78
I see you continue to choose to hate science in order to believe in fictions. HuckleB Jul 2016 #80
Um...um...um...so your theory is that evil Nobel Laureates are in an occult conspiracy? NNadir Jul 2016 #87
Here's the story on storify, and it's awesome! HuckleB Jul 2016 #95
Wonder if they will sign a letter attacking me for refusing to buy State Farm insurance-- eridani Jul 2016 #105
Obviously these brilliant people think otherwise. One of the more toxic activities on this... NNadir Jul 2016 #109
Golden rice is fine by me because it was developed by a non-profit consortium eridani Jul 2016 #111
And Greenpeace's politics on GMOs are rather uncouth. HuckleB Jul 2016 #115
Greenpeace is fighting to harm the planet. HuckleB Jul 2016 #114
