This is the best Catch-22 yet. In order to protect our local river from manure/sewage pollution, we had to prove 'bathing status', i.e. lots of people swimming. We did that. Then the govt claimed the swimmers would harm the river, & denied bathing status.🤦♂️theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Greenpeace and its allies just won a court case in the Philippines blocking Golden Rice from reaching millions of vitamin A-deficient young children. If this isn't a crime against humanity, I don't know what is. Avoidable deaths could total 100,000s. More: spectator.co.uk/article/childr…
Disastrous news from the Philippines- the Court of Appeals has sided with Greenpeace and the antis in blocking vit-A enhanced Golden Rice, which is now in widespread cultivation in the country. All planting must now stop, harming the interests of millions.
