The Hokum of GE Crops

The link I'm posting is an old report, late '09, but I just happened upon it after reading the Spring issue of Catalyst, the magazine for members of the Union for Concerned Scientists.

As is related in this press release, the claim by seed companies that GE crops reduce pollution is false. While GE crops reduce the use of pesticide, they require the use of more herbicides. And as the link provides, the claim of greater yield is a quite shaky too.
