That's just your opinion against humanity in general. The fact is we're here - and more efficient use of the exisiting developed land, as well as making use of less viable lands through crops developed to grow in them, is the only way to feed starving nations.
Don't you get it. No Eco-System = No Humanity. Without the biosphere there will be no goddam humanity.
You're right - the quote I responded to about your opinion of crops, I did not read correctly. By the by, nature's stronger than that - if we introduce something that takes over, it will still act like a plant does - the eco-system will shrug into a new position. We'll be forced to adapt or fail. You're correct. But I'm hard-pressed to think of something that's going to be released into the wild that will truly make it so humanity dies out because it took over the earth and destroyed every option we had left to us. We're an adaptable lot.
See I said nothing about Gm crops here. I said I don't know much about Gm crops and I am for the biosphere.
You went on to say that I am against humanity, so I went on to say I am not against humanity. I am against over population.
I could say that I am deviating from the point of the thread a little, but you did also.
Basically, I am for GM crops as long as they don't destroy the biosphere to produce them, this is basically what I said originally. I never said I was against GM crops. The affects that may arrise from genetic manipulation will be seen at a later date, or not. It can only be one of two answers.
In regards to feeding the World, this has yet to be done, and will be interesting to see if it can ever be done. GM crops are probably the best answer, but Id imagine there will never be enough food to feed the entire World population, as the World population keeps growing.
