(38,143 posts)I imagine that all of the GMO proteins provided by things like Tofu wiped out life on earth, just like Fukushima wiped out Japan.
Do you know what another word for genetic modification is? It's called E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N.
When evolution is manipulated for human uses - as has been done for many millennia - it's called Breeding.
It's the reason that a fair number of them were able to survive the human induced droughts in North America this year.
California can't do anything except have mobs pass laws that are meaningless and/or toxic.
We justifiably like to make fun of the right wing for its hatred of science, but one of the things I've learned since blogging is that people who live in cadmium selenide coated glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The fact is that there is no such thing as "natural" anymore. The anti-science squads, far right and far left have left the planet in a shambles.
California will have a choice: Give up these continual exercises in mob rule stupidity, fear and ignorance, or simply starve to death.
And the last one is not just a paranoid threat. Fear, ignorance and superstition on the climate - said fear, ignorance and superstition on the left coming from the likes of our abysmally educated anti-nukes - has lead to major crop failures on every continent in the last 10 years: Australia, Argentina, France, Russia, and the United States have all suffered major crop failures.
This situation is going to cause evolution whether human directed or otherwise, and all the insipid crap from the population of California will make zero difference.
