Raws li hluav taws kub thiab qhuav ua kom tu siab Australia, cov qhab nia ntawm cov neeg tawm tsam hu rau tsoom fwv los mus muab kev txiav txim rau “catastrophic” kev nyab xeeb kev hloov.
Ntsuab politicians thiab lawv backers tsis tu ncua sim siv science mus nrhiav pov thawj lawv boisterous xav tau. Neeg twg uas tsis pom zoo nrog cov views yog tam sim ntawd luag thuam thiab sau lo rau ib tug “kev nyab xeeb-denier” nrog rau cov kev sib raug zoo muaj npe thiab kev txawj ntse ntawm ib tug troglodyte.
Tsis tau lawv tsis kam mus thov cov tib scientific hauv paus ntsiab lus mus biotechnology-thiab nyob rau hauv South Australia, they’re already threatening to reimpose a moratorium nyob rau hauv loj hlob ntawm cov qoob loo GM.
Qhov no nom tswv teeb meem yog counterintuitive mus rau lub credible lub cev ntawm scientific pov thawj rau tsob nroj biotechnology-xws li pov thawj ntawm ib puag ncig kev pab-uas tau ntau tshaj tej yam lub ntiaj teb no kev pom zoo nyob rau kev nyab xeeb kev hloov.
Nws yog qhov fab ntxeev 25 xyoo ntawm pov thawj agronomic, economic, thiab tej kev kho los ntawm loj hlob txawv GM ntau ntau yam ntse thoob plaws hauv lub ntiaj teb thiab nyob rau hauv lwm qhov chaw ntawm teb chaws Australia.
Cov neeg tau noj trillions ntawm cov zaub mov vim biotechnology-derived khoom noj xws li pob kws, taum pauv, alfalfa, qos yaj ywm, taub, thiab papaya xub pib yog nyob rau hauv lub tebchaws United States.
“Yuav ua li cas rau neeg tuag ntau lossis kev mob nkeeg tau txuas kom txhob kaw hloov cov qoob loo?” nug Cameron J. English ntawm lub caj Literacy Project. “tsis muaj ib tug. Tsis li ntawd, ntau npaum li cas raws li ib tug sniffle.”
nws tseem “That’s not a surprise to scientists, raws li yuav luag txhua txhua zaub mov-yam cov kws muaj txuj thiab txhua txhua loj saib xyuas los yog tswj txoj cai lub cev nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no tau xaus lus tias biotech cov qoob loo yog muaj kev nyab xeeb rau tib neeg thiab tsiaj noj li zaub mov zus conventionally los yog organically.”
Lwm yam lus sib cav uas siv los nrhiav pov thawj rau anti-GM stance nyob rau hauv South Australia, xws li ib tug thiaj li hu ua premium rau loj hlob uas tsis yog-GM canola, tau discredited los ntawm ywj siab nyiaj txiag analysis. Tsis tau cas pov thawj thiab cov lus tseeb yog tag nrho cov-thiab feem ntau tsis quav ntsej li no qhov teeb meem.
Qhov no yooj yim ignorance tau raug tsis pom South Australian teb kev nkag mus rau qhov no muaj kev ruaj ntseg tshuab, thaum menyuam li producers nyob rau hauv lwm lub xeev tau zus GM canola ntse, xws li ntawm no nyob rau hauv Victoria rau yav dhau los 12 xyoo.
Qhov no tau tshwm sim tsis muaj txawm lub slightest hint ntawm tej doomsday forecasts los yeej muaj tseeb, that were touted by politicians and activists in scare and misinformation campaigns which delayed the crop’s uptake long after the science was confirmed.
Tu siab, no irresponsible cwj pwm pluav cog qoob loo nyob rau hauv lub lag luam hauv zos, scaring tawm peev-tsis yog nyob rau hauv South Australia-rau tsob nroj biotechnology kev tshawb fawb thiab kev loj hlob ntawm cov tshiab cov qoob loo uas tau txhim khu teb’ long-term muaj peev xwm los tswj kev nyab xeeb adaptation.
Rau uas tsis yog-kev ua teb Australians, uas tau ua tim khawv pom tus sib cav tswv yim raging tshaj lub GM kev txiav txim siab nyob rau hauv South Australia thiab tej zaum yuav tau xav dab tsi tag nrho cov fuss yog hais txog, piav yog yooj yim heev.
It’s no different to a single Australian jurisdiction banning laptops and other modern communication technologies that help deliver improved improve educational outcomes, thaum cov xib fwb thiab cov me nyuam nyob rau hauv lwm yam tsev kawm ntawv thoob plaws hauv lub teb chaws yuav nkag xws cuab yeej, kom xa txoj kev pab.
GM canola won’t solve every problem our farmers are experiencing right now due to this savage drought and other challenges. But it’s an invaluable tool with great potential to help build sustainability and grow crops that produce better results in a world we’re continually told, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog los ntawm cov neeg uas tshaj tawm txoj xov science thaum xav tau radical kev nyab xeeb kev txiav txim, yog muaj zog zus volatility.
A story of environmental progress these scientific vandals won’t share with the public-like a skeleton in the closet-is the one about GM cotton that was first planted in Australia in 1996.
Ua ntej nws taw qhia, tswv siv txog $50 lab ib xyoos rau tshuaj tua kab-tab sis nyob rau hauv lub 20-xyoo ntawm kev siv GM ntau ntau yam, paub kab tswj tau coj mus rau ib tug 92 feem pua ​​yuav txo tau nyob rau hauv insecticide siv.
Nyob rau hauv 2016, GM paj rwb lees paub rau 98 feem pua ​​ntawm tag nrho cov paj rwb plantings, nyob rau hauv teb chaws Australia.
Qhov no qhia tau raws nraim li cas yuav tshwm sim thaum tswv muaj cov kev xaiv mus ua tau dhau mus rau hauv lub scare tactics ntawm suab minorities thiab kev tiag tiag thiab tswv yim scientific, ib puag ncig, thiab economic cov kev pab cuam, on-ua liaj ua teb.
