The Looming Battle over Biotechnology

At some point, there’s going to be a vigorous, public debate over adaptation to climate change. How, for example, will we make agriculture more drought resistant? Cue the scary music for biotechnology, since genetically modified organisms will inevitably assume a greater role.

But as Yael Borasky argues,

And you thought the debate over mitigation measures, such as cap and trade versus a carbon tax, was testy.
