Last year Bill Gates via his Gates Foundation gave USD 10
million to British scientists to sort-out a problem he hoped might help solve the
looming world food crisis.
By the way this is the same Bill Gates Oxfam recently launched
a hate campaign against claiming he and his ilk were simply not generous
enough!
95% of his wealth going to charity is not right & fair according
to the puritanical Oxfam, but back to the story.
Success of this research would potentially allow wheat,
rice, corn and other global food staples to be grown in even the poorest soils
of Africa, Asia and South America without the need for costly fertilisers,
greatly expanding world food production.
What an admirable undertaking, only the process involved in
developing more resilient plants incorporates the nemesis of eco-fascists like Greenpeace:
Genetic Engineering.
In little more of an admission that hard-line dogma trumps hard
pragmatism Greenpeace justified their position to see the end of this ground-breaking research
by stating….
"If Mr Gates is serious about feeding the world's poor
and helping us establish sustainable farming practices that will heal the
environment and provide a future for humanity, he needs to look less towards GM
crops and more towards nature"
"GM technology isn't about feeding the world or
improving farmers' lives; it provides biotech and seed companies with the
opportunity to own patents over crops and nature. It is about control of the
global food system, and anyone who tells you different is lying."
In a tenuous link Greenpeace went to point out Gates has
shares in Monsanto.
But a minuet fraction of Gates investments, a complete ‘green’
herring.
On this one Greenpeace is seriously fucked-up, in-fact dangerously
so.
Greenpeace wants to doom billions to starve simply because their
beliefs state ‘Mother Nature will triumph over Science’
Vacuous prattle won’t feed starving children.
Science can and will - given the chance.
