  2. The article pretty much focuses on the temperatures. If you want to know about how close it gets, you should check out this new fangled thing called the internet.

    It will approach to within 8.86 solar radii (6.2 million kilometers or 3.85 million miles) from the "surface" (photosphere) of the Sun and will travel, at closest approach, as much as 700,000 km/h (430,000 mph).

    The FCC said in a statement that the lawmakers had misunderstood the proposal. "The item would not change the Commission's handling of informal complaints," the agency said.

    And if there's one thing the Pai FCC is known for, it's telling the truth.

    And why would the Philippines need golden rice?

    Because they're suffering from widespread malnutrition.

    Obviously they don't like GMO _food_ like no one else wants it.

    Which is why they're growing Golden Rice and other GMO crops and it's outsiders who oppose their use of GMO crops? And what do you mean no one wants GMO food? I, and many other people, want GMO food; we're excited about the benefits for the environment and for the potential to improve the quality of life of people around the world.

    You are a typical imperialistic asshole.

    Says the asshole who has no problem with wealthy westerners vandalizing the crops of Filipino farmers.

    The golden rice thing is just another attempt to subdue a country in the developing world, it produces vitamin A, you know? For what funk sake reason would a country like the Philippines need a GMO rice that produces vitamin A?

    Because they're suffering from widespread malnutrition.

    Why would they need to pay patent fees to plant that rice?

    Because they choose to? Seriously, no one is going to force farmers to grow the crop. They will be able to choose whether to grow conventional rice or Golden Rice based on their own situation. But wait, because the Philippines is a developing country according to the FAO, they don't have to pay the IP licensing cost. This is something you would know if you weren't willfully ignorant.

    Why would they need to have half of their farmers run bankrupt because they can not pay for the fees, or can not plant their original rice anymore?

    Farmers are free to plant whatever crop they're willing and able to pay for. They won't go bankrupt from planting GMO crops unless either they make bad business decisions or they suffer the sort of tragedies that would make them go bankrupt while planting conventional crops. Also, as pointed out above, Filipino farmers don't have to pay these fees. They're also free to go back to growing conventional rice if they so choose.

    You are an idiot. You have no clue what is going on. And you have no clue about GMOs or about countries where you like to test them.

    You're a willfully ignorant moron. You don't care about what's true and what's not; you only care about your virtue sginaling, and you don't care if people - childrend - die because of it.

    No one has ever been sued because of natural cross pollination. And it's almost hilarious that anti-GMO asshats use that as a reason to be opposed to them when you also go into irrational rages over "terminator seeds".
