Heres what I said: In light of public polarization of opinion of GE foods, this report tries to do something quite difficultto come to evidence-based opinions about the risks and benefits of these foods now and in the future.

EcoWatch: Florida is one of, if not the, most vulnerable states in the U.S. when it comes to sea level rise. Though it`s clear Florida Sen. Marco Rubio doesn`t believe the state needs to act on climate change, one mayor is attempting to prepare his town for higher water.
