        @sapinker: @BillNye changed his mind on GMO. Where do you stand on @mattwridley 's stance on climate change?

        @sapinker Even though like his mentor Lysenko, he wants to prosecute climate change deniers? I don't think so.

        @sapinker Both are partisans who toe the party line. Why give them any credence?Think and do the research yourself.
