  1. Re:Fracking on Finding Fault With Anti-Fracking Science Claims · · Score: 2

    Oh fart.

    Methane is present in the atmosphere at pretty significant levels. That means it's present in all water.

    Endocrine disruption usually occurs at extremely small doses.

    Seems to me like more pseudo science going on here.

    Yeh, smartfart, summer not hot enough just yet, a little more methane helpful?

    only 1/2 the story, or even less. In the process of drilling down under, as a side effect, countless gallons/cubicyards/tons of polluted water are sunk into some deep drill hole since it's '"not worth/very polluted" to do otherwise.

    Is it ever coming up? Just a question of time, I guess. Congratulations to the receivers!

    What was the other one? Ah - pollution on the "side" - leaking methane and other potential endocrine disruptors accompanying the process and "escaping".

  16. Re:BS on Cyanide-Producing GM Grass Linked To Texas Cattle Deaths · · Score: 1

    Still, nothing to do with GM. ...

    Sure does - take the RR GM plant away, crop plants would need to be shielded from Glyphosate or they would die. Glyphosate is not entering crop plants through leaves as with RR GM plants.

    Shielding crop plants when spraying is expensive, that's the benefit with RR GM. Just spray it 100 times over and everything else but the RR GM crop plant dies.

    With RR GM plants, everything growing gets sprayed. That comes with the package.

    Besides Glyphosate being a Edocrine Disruptor and more present in RR GM crop plants, there are other consequential effects, like lower resistance to other pests needing higher insecticide use, diminishing vitality of GM plants over time, changed protein structure of plants etc. and yeah, farmers committing suicide.

    As for your spraying Roundup on dirt, then eating it, won't work (but that's not true either, there is residue): "Roundup is deactivated in the soil" from Roundup Hype - enjoy!

    Not really. You know of Endocrine Disruptors, right?

    GM modified plants (roundup ready) tolerate and contain Glyphosate remnants when sprayed with it.

    Glyphosate is an Edocrine Disruptor (Glyphosate-based herbicides are toxic and endocrine disruptors in human cell lines ).

    That's far more potent than increased cyanide in some grass killing a few cows on an - "uups, it's not GM, see!" incident.
