- Title
Struggling to see the forest through the trees.
- Authors
Herrera, Stephan
- Abstract
The article discusses whether with the Kyoto treaty demanding reductions in greenhouse gases and the loss of forests outpacing their renewal by natural means, could it be time to start planting genetically engineered forests. A new sort of anti-GMO protest broke out last December in Argentina at the tenth anniversary United Nations conference on climate change. Protestors were not grousing about food this time, but about genetically modified trees, which, under the Kyoto Protocol set to go into effect this month, are considered a viable, clean mechanism for sequestering carbons in the environment, which contribute to global warming.
