GM food is characterised as \u201cFrankenfood\u201d, an unholy conspiracy by uncaring and untrustworthy big agriculture and biotech companies to inflate their profits at the expense of our children\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But many of the same British and European people who distrust government and big tech assurances about the safety of GM food paradoxically trust government claims that we are in the midst of a climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why not combine the two narratives to see what happens? Obviously, we\u2019ll need super crops to survive the mythical coming age of deadly weather extremes and climate change disasters. Perhaps GM is the answer to saving our children\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could be reading too much into this. Potatoes which grow faster likely are more resistant to heatwaves and other stressors. But it is going to be fascinating to see if mixing GM with climate change narratives leads to greater British and European acceptance of GM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Correction (EW): 30%, not 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new twist in European Genetically Modified Food politics?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":357010,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691818056,691832207,691832206,691832205],"class_list":{"0":"post-357006","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-climate-change","9":"tag-climate-resistant","10":"tag-genetically-modified-food","11":"tag-potatoes","13":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/0shutterstock_1101418244-1200x800-1.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1uSa","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":291723,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=291723","url_meta":{"origin":357006,"position":0},"title":"Claim: GM Crops are Not the Solution to Climate Change","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"18\/12\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Political ecologists worrying that the EU is embracing genetic engineering to protect food supplies from global warming.","rel":"","context":"In \"Biotech firms\"","block_context":{"text":"Biotech firms","link":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?tag=biotech-firms"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0slider-background.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":288801,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=288801","url_meta":{"origin":357006,"position":1},"title":"Wrong, ABC News, Climate Change Isn\u2019t a Threat to Thanksgiving Dinner","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"27\/11\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"By Linnea Lueken An article by ABC News, \u201cClimate change could soon make these staple Thanksgiving dishes more scarce,\u201d claims that foods like cranberries, sweet potatoes, and turkey, among others popular at Thanksgiving dinner, are threatened by climate change.
