It's official - GM rapeseed bad for the environment

In other news, water still wet, sunshine still causing shadows.

The long-awaited final results of the GM trials for Britain's biggest crop, winter oil seed rape, show that wildlife and the environment would suffer if the crop was grown in the UK, in effect ending the biotech industry's hopes of introducing GM varieties in the foreseeable future.

For some reason [call me cynical... or illogical...] I am not convinced that the former necessarily leads to the latter.
