Follow him on twitter @paulmcdivitt. UPDATE: The GMO labeling initiative in Colorado was soundly rejected. (Breakdown of Boulder vote is at bottom of post.)

GMO Opponents Use Fear and Deception to Advance Their Cause

March 28, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, genetically modified foods, GMOs, science, science communication, select | 191 comments

https://www.salernoformazione.com/tdlymmch The anti-GMO troops in the United States received some unwelcome news this week from Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). At a congressional hearing on Thursday, Hamburg reiterated the FDA’s support for voluntary GMO labeling initiatives, but nothing beyond that: The way FDA has for many years interpreted the law… https://chemxtree.com/avuh5pbyu Continue Reading…

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/b205c2aund The politicized and polarized nature of the climate debate is well established. Those who track the testy, emotionally-charged conversation on agricultural biotechnology wonder if the GMO discourse is heading down that road. I’ve argued that the rhetorical tactics of GMO skeptics and climate skeptics are similar. Others have also come to see these commonalities (cherry-picking… Continue Reading…

Stop Legitimizing the Loony Anti-GMO Voices

A hypothetical: You are a journalist who has written a great deal about the anti-vaccine movement and you have been asked to participate in a panel on the safety of childhood vaccines. This panel was organized by professional medical and health journalists. Also on this hypothetical panel would be a prominent scientist, such as Paul… https://www.varesewedding.com/c7a7p4zbq29 Continue Reading…

Here’s the abstract (my emphasis): Greenpeace is a science-based campaigning organization whose purpose is to stand up for the environment.

Are GMOs Natural?

December 19, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, genetic engineering, genetically modified foods, GMOs, organic agriculture, select | 24 comments

https://www.plantillaslago.com/19665u4wz2e The Environmental Working Group (EWG) describes itself as America’s “most effective environmental health research and advocacy organization.” Like many green groups (and health-conscious foodies), EWG has an organic fetish. Michael Specter has a great chapter on this syndrome in his 2009 book, Denialism: How Irrational Thinking Hinders Scientific Progress, Harms the Planet and Threatens Our Lives. The organic… https://municion.org/uj61qpf Continue Reading…

Talking Points

https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/j6tvasw5x One of the maddening aspects of the GMO discourse is the conflation of industry concerns with science. The biggest example, of course, is the way Monsanto has become a proxy for anti-GMO sentiment. True, this dynamic is not unique to biotechnology. Debates on pharmaceuticals, energy, and agriculture revolve around multinational companies that are stand-ins for… Continue Reading…

Clonazepam For Anxiety Side Effects Just for kicks, take a guess when Michael Specter wrote this in the New Yorker: If the politics of genetically modified food has never been so anguished, the scientific prospects have never seemed more promising. The answer and his superb piece can be found here. Consider: Since his article appeared, the angry politics of genetically modified… Ambien Buy Uk Continue Reading…

When Newspapers Collaborate with NGOs

As far as explainers go, I thought this Guardian piece discussing possible links between climate change and extreme weather was pretty good. What’s interesting to me is that it was written by Bob Ward, the policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. It’s part of a larger… https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/m8mek9xc6 Continue Reading…

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/omo4fff There is so much to admire about this New York Times story by Amy Harmon I don’t know where to begin. [UPDATE: This insightful take by Maggie Koerth-Baker at Boing Boing–which I excerpt below–captures what is remarkable about the piece.] So let’s start with a tweet from National Geographic’s executive environment editor Dennis Dimick: Must Read:… Continue Reading…
