"With the proliferation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain GMO-free seed. With nearly all corn, soy, canola and cotton planted being GMO, and Monsanto’s drive for deregulation of more and more genetically engineered seed, the quest becomes even more difficult. This begs the question that with the laxity in standards of the National Organics Program (NOP), how can we be assured that organic seeds and the crops grown from those seeds are really organic and free of GMOs? The answer is – we can’t. Not if we are counting on the NOP to guarantee the purity of our seed stock" - bcultral

"According to a recent congressional report: “The term “geoengineering” describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earth’s energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change. Most of these technologies are at the conceptual and research stages, and their effectiveness at reducing global temperatures has yet to be proven. Moreover, very few studies have been published that document the cost, environmental effects, socio-political impacts, and legal implications of geoengineering. If geoengineering technologies were to be deployed, they are expected to have the potential to cause significant transboundary effects." - bcultral
