The Farm Scale Evaluations The final results of the Farm Scale Evaluations (FSEs) of herbicide tolerant GM crops, the biggest study of the environmental impact of GM crops conducted anywhere in the world, are now available. The FSEs were a four-year programme of research by independent researchers aimed at studying the effect, if any, that the management practices associated with Genetically Modified Herbicide Tolerant (GMHT) crops might have on farmland wildlife, when compared with weed control used with non-GM crops.

All of the field trials are now complete. The results for the three spring sown crops, maize, beet and spring oilseed rape, were published in 2003. The results for winter oilseed rape were published on 21 March 2005. Details of how they can be obtained are given below. The Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE) established a sub-group to consider the wider issues raised by the FSE.

Um aus Erdöl Kraftstoffe zu gewinnen, muss dieses u.a. von Gasen – z.B. Methan – befreit werden. Die billigste und gleichzeitig (umwelt)schädlichste Methode, dies zu tun, ist die offene Verbrennung der im Rohöl enthaltenen Gase.

Die hierbei entstehenden Treibhausgase tragen zu einem sehr großen Teil zu den CO2-Emissionen in der Sub-Sahara bei. Außerdem werden bei der Verbrennung Schwefel, Stickstoff und krebserregende Substanzen wie Benzol freigesetzt ein giftiger Cocktail für die Lungen der Menschen, die in den umliegenden Dörfern leben. Obschon die Abfackelung von Gas in Nigeria seit 1984 verboten ist, gibt es bis heute zahlreiche Stellen, an denen die Erde brennt.
