WHO's statement that glyphosate seems to be safe was written by a committee whose chair and co-chair work in another organization that got a lot of money from Monsanto.

Whether the amounts of glyphosate that people actually ingest actually cause significant danger to humans may be a hard question to answer. Whether Roundup is dangerous is a different question, since there is some evidence that other ingredients can harm people. But it is clear that Roundup endangers wildlife, and that patented GMOs promote concentration and corporate control of our food.

Canada has approved sale of genetically modified salmon.

I find it entirely plausible that eating these salmon is safe. The concern for these salmon is that some might escape and transmit the modified genes to wild salmon. Just one escaper might cause permanent and irreparable harm.

Supposedly the modified salmon are sterilized, but how reliable is that process? 99%? 99.9%? There are systems to prevent the salmon from escaping, but how reliable are they? 99.9%?

Is that reliability maintained when thousands of low-paid workers have to run those systems, under management that doesn't want to immediately fix everything that breaks? The US has no Federal Salmon Agency to make sure every salmon farm gets an annual inspection and certify the people who maintain it.

If just one modified salmon in a thousand is not sterile, and just one in a thousand escapes, and the modified salmon number millions over the course of years, escapes of fertile modified salmon are almost a certainty.

Exxon says it will cut its support for 9 heating denialist groups. That will leave around 24 more that it will apparently continue to fund, including ALEC.

A second year of drought in southern Africa threatens to kill up to 50 million people.

Droughts nowadays are only partially natural in origin. I suspect global heating contributed to this drought.
