Monsanto tops poll of firms accused over climate change
,----[ Quote ]
| MONSANTO, THE US multinational chiefly known
| for its aggressive marketing of genetically
| modified (GM) crops, has emerged as the
| surprising winner of the âAngry Mermaidâ
| awards for business lobbyists against taking
| action on climate change.
|
| Presented here yesterday by author and
| activist Naomi Klein, the premier award went
| to Monsanto in a poll conducted mainly on
| the internet. It won 37 per cent of the
| 10,000 votes cast. The runners-up were Royal
| Dutch Shell and the American Petroleum
| Institute.
|
| Monsanto was nominated for promoting its GM
| crops and biofuels as a âsolutionâ to
| climate change. âThe expansion of GM soy in
| Latin America is contributing to major
| deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions,â
| according to Friends of the Earth
| International.

| In this environment, Linux provides a distinct competitive advantage. Linux
| has zero licensing fees, so pure cost is a key benefit. Linux support can be
| found at almost any level; from free e-mail and bulletin boards to 24/7
| mission critical support via enterprise subscriptions. Banks that are running
| Linux have an operating system with support for the greatest number of chip
| architectures, hardware platforms and forms of computing (blades to
| mainframe).
