Also, this proves that this dude really isn't educated at all about biology. The extinction rate is astronomical right now. For many reasons, GMO definitely being one, we are killing species with reckless abandon.Fear of unforeseen consequences. One common claim is that crop blights would do more damage resulting from lack of genetic diversity (the claim is often made that GMO crops will all be the same so they might all get killed off at once if the right disease hits). This one is particularly misguided in my mind because GMO is creating genetic diversity faster than we've ever had it before...
