http://www.stuff.co.nz/4181330a1861.html Apart from increasing yields, GE crops have reduced the use of pesticides by 224,000 tonnes a year and they have helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a big way. GE farming reduces CO2 emissions by cutting back on the fossil fuels used to spray insecticides and herbicides and by "conservation tillage". The seeds of many GE crops don't require the soil to be ploughed or tilled. They are simply drilled into unploughed fields. In 2005, the carbon so locked in the soil amounted to 8 million tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of removing 3.6 million cars off the road. GE techniques show great promise in developing future ethanol and biodiesel crops. These high-yielding crops will substitute for fossil fuels, help recycle and sequester carbon in the soil and significantly help slow climate warming. Aaaaahahahahahahahahahahah Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha *wipes tears from eye*

It really is poetic.
Green advocates are lucky they're not allergic to irony, especially seeing as on top of all this the best energy solution to global warming (assuming it is a real threat) is nuclear fucking power. No matter what happens they come off looking like complete ass hats.
