Who benefits from gm crops?: the great climate change swindle [1]

This by Friends of the Earth International looks at the evidence used by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA) when they look at successful genetically modified (GM) plants. This year’s report shows that in contrast to ISAAA’s claims, there is significant and growing opposition to gm crops in many parts of the world. The report also looks at a new claim it says is arising that GM plants can help be a solution to climate change. The report challenges this claim as a myth.
