Glyphostate Controversy

Earlier I posted an article shared by the Skeptics Guide to the Universe on the recent controversy over the court ruling on Glyphostate aka Round Up weed killer and hay burner. 🔥The article noted the mainy factors that the court did not consider and the benefits of the product.

It’s easy to condemn all chemicals especially after we learned about the nasty spill over effects of DDT and some other chemicals that while relatively non toxic to humans can have enormous spill over effects on the environment.🌎 That’s why scientific evidence is important and something that should be considered with the totality of the evidence.

Too often people on both sides of the aisle use science more as a sword than a basis for informed reasoning.🏫 We shouldn’t be prejudicial but instead honestly lay out or values, concerns and interests. I can also understand why glyphostate is a useful product for conserving soils and avoiding plowing. 🚜But I can also understand that chemistry is a powerful thing,🍹 that may be having effects we don’t understand.
